Nachricht von Penny

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

From Penny's new owners, we received this message: "Dear Mrs. Zille, dear team at our area animal shelter! It's almost 4 months since we took Penny (formerly known as Bica) from your animal shelter. In short: We've all hit the jackpot! Penny feels very comfortable here. She's friendly to our cats, gets along well with other dogs, and is very open to all people. She is a very special dog in nature and for us a permanent family member. Despite the positive aspects, of course, there were also other surprises: she is very fearful of streets and loud noises, and she doesn't like brushing her fur at all. We spend a lot of time with her and are constantly working on it, training her consistently and lovingly. Best regards from Berlin."

Von Penny's neuen Besitzern erhielten wir diese Nachricht: „Liebe Frau Zille, liebes Tierheimteam in Horka! Es ist schon fast 4 Monate her, dass wir Penny (ehemals Bica genannt) aus Ihrem Tierheim mitgenommen haben. Kurz geschrieben: Wir haben alle in den Glückstopf gegriffen! Penny fühlt sich sehr wohl hier. Zu unseren Katzen ist sie lieb, versteht sich sehr gut mit anderen Hunden und ist allen Menschen sehr aufgeschlossen. Sie ist vom Wesen ein ganz besonderer Hund und für uns ein festes Familienmitglied. Trotz der positiven Seiten gab es natürlich auch andere Überraschungen: sie ist sehr ängstlich was Straßen, laute Geräusche angeht und Fell bürsten mag sie gar nicht. Wir verbringen sehr viel Zeit mit ihr und arbeiten ständig daran und erziehen sie konsequent, aber liebevoll. Viele Grüße aus Berlin“

About Nachricht von Penny

What life with Nachricht von Penny looks like

Nachricht von Penny is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Horka in Horka.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Nachricht von Penny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nachricht von Penny?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Horka handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nachricht von Penny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nachricht von Penny if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Horka 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 Nachricht von Penny 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 Nachricht von Penny 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 Tierheim Horka early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nachricht von Penny 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.
