Adopt PATROCLE

Dachshund · Male · Young · 1 year

My name is PATROCLE and I just want to be loved❣ I don't know how long I've been at this gas station. I was hungry, thirsty, and just really tired. Maybe I thought that if I looked friendly and approached carefully, someone would see me. Instead, some people poured water on me to make me go away. I didn't understand why – I just wanted a little bit of closeness and a safe place. Thankfully, Cristina saw me. She didn't chase me away. She stopped, spoke to me, and took me with her. For the first time in a long time, I didn't have to be afraid anymore. Since then, I show everyone how much I love people. I'm a friendly, lovable Dachshund mix who doesn't like arguments. I get along really well with other dogs and even think cats are fine. I just want a home where I belong – with people who won't chase me away but will love me. Maybe I can arrive just right with you? I promise I'll give you my whole doggy heart.

Mein Name ist PATROCLE und ich möchte einfach nur geliebt werden❣ Ich weiß nicht, wie lange ich schon an dieser Tankstelle unterwegs war. Ich hatte Hunger, Durst und war einfach nur müde. Vielleicht dachte ich, wenn ich freundlich schaue und vorsichtig näherkomme, würde mich jemand sehen. Stattdessen haben manche Menschen Wasser über mich geschüttet, damit ich verschwinde. Ich habe nicht verstanden, warum – ich wollte doch nur ein kleines bisschen Nähe und einen sicheren Platz. Zum Glück hat mich Cristina gesehen. Sie hat mich nicht weggejagt. Sie hat angehalten, mich angesprochen und mich mitgenommen. Zum ersten Mal seit langer Zeit musste ich keine Angst mehr haben. Seitdem zeige ich jeden Tag, wie sehr ich Menschen liebe. Ich bin ein freundlicher, lieber Dackel-Mix, der Streit gar nicht mag. Mit anderen Hunden verstehe ich mich richtig gut und selbst Katzen finde ich völlig in Ordnung. Ich wünsche mir einfach nur ein Zuhause, in dem ich dazugehören darf – mit Menschen, die mich nicht vertreiben, sondern mich liebhaben. Vielleicht darf ich ja genau bei dir ankommen? Ich verspreche dir, ich schenke dir mein ganzes Hundeherz.

About PATROCLE

What life with PATROCLE looks like

PATROCLE is a small young adult dachshund dog waiting at Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. in Waakirchen.

An young 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 PATROCLE, answered.

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