Adopt Moppi

Mixed Breed · Male

Breed: mixed breed, medium-sized compatible with others: Gets along well in a mixed pack; Cats: Not known, cannot be tested. Current location: Auffangstation Istanbul (Turkey) Surrender reason: Found dog This lovable male dog has a malformed right hind leg, which does not prevent him from being lively and people-oriented. Whether his limitation is congenital or due to an accident, we unfortunately do not know. We urgently wish for him a quiet, ground-floor home where he can live safely and relaxed without stairs. With a bit of understanding, love, and care, he will be a faithful companion who enriches his new home with a lot of heart. At first, he is still very reserved with those he doesn't know, so he should be given time to build trust in peace. A dog-safe enclosed garden should be available.

Rasse: Mischling, mittelgroß Verträglichkeit: Verträglich lebt in einem gemischten Rudel; Katzen: Nicht bekannt, kann nicht getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Auffangstation Istanbul (Türkei) Abgabegrund: Fundhund Dieser liebenswerte Rüde hat ein verkrüppeltes rechtes Hinterbeinchen, das ihn jedoch nicht daran hindert, lebensfroh und menschenbezogen zu sein. Ob seine Einschränkung angeboren ist oder von einem Unfall stammt, wissen wir leider nicht. Für ihn wünschen wir uns dringend ein ruhiges, ebenerdiges Zuhause, in dem er ohne Treppen sicher und entspannt leben kann. Mit etwas Verständnis, Liebe und Fürsorge wird er ein treuer Begleiter sein, der sein neues Zuhause mit ganz viel Herz bereichert. Anfangs ist er noch sehr zurückhaltend wenn er einen nicht kennt, daher sollte man ihm einfach Zeit lassen dass er in Ruhe Vertrauen fassen kann. Ein hundesicher eingezäunter Garten sollte vorhanden sein.

About Moppi

What life with Moppi looks like

Moppi is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Moppi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Moppi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Moppi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Moppi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Moppi already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Moppi isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Moppi and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
