Pascha

Dachshund · Male · Senior · 10 years

Pascha is a neutered male dog born on 24.06.2016. He came to our shelter through a government seizure. Unfortunately, his love for animals was misunderstood in the past - because love is known to go through the stomach. As a result, Pascha has gained some weight and needs to lose it urgently. To help him regain his fitness and health, he needs people to support him. He already masters walks on a leash. However, due to his weight, exercise should be gradually and gently increased. Pascha is friendly and open-minded towards people. He is compatible with female dogs, but compatibility with male dogs depends on their personalities. What Pascha needs now is a warm, cozy place with loving but consistent people.

Pascha ist ein kastrierter Rüde und wurde am 24.06.2016 geboren. Durch eine behördliche Sicherstellung ist er zu uns ins Tierheim gekommen. Leider wurde seine Tierliebe in der Vergangenheit etwas falsch verstanden – denn Liebe geht bekanntlich durch den Magen. So hat Pascha inzwischen einiges an Übergewicht angesammelt und muss dringend abspecken. Damit er wieder fit und gesund durchs Leben gehen kann, braucht er Menschen, die ihn dabei unterstützen. Spaziergänge an der Leine meistert er bereits gut. Aufgrund seines Gewichts sollte die Bewegung allerdings zunächst langsam und schonend gesteigert werden. Menschen gegenüber zeigt sich Pascha freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Mit Hündinnen ist er verträglich, bei Rüden entscheidet die Sympathie. Was Pascha jetzt braucht, ist ein warmes, gemütliches Plätzchen bei liebevollen, aber konsequenten Menschen. Pascha ist ein kastrierter Rüde und wurde am 24.06.2016 geboren.

About Pascha

What life with Pascha looks like

Pascha is a medium-sized senior dachshund dog waiting at Tierheim Witten in Witten.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pascha, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pascha?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Witten handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pascha on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pascha if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Witten 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Pascha 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 Pascha 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 Witten early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pascha 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.
