Peach

Dachshund · Female · Senior · 11 years

Our Peach is a sweet, people-oriented female dog who really enjoys companionship. She likes being close to her people, loves being petted, and looks forward to spending time together. With familiar people she is friendly and very cuddly. Toward strangers, Peach is initially rather reserved, and sometimes she needs a little time to build trust and warm up. Given that time, she comes closer on her own and then enjoys the contact. Peach came to us at the animal shelter together with Fips. Unfortunately, the two were neglected and not adequately cared for in their former home. With us, they continue to share a room and get along well. Now we hope that Peach will find people who will give her the attention and care she deserves in the future. Peach absolutely loves walks. She enjoys being out and about and looks forward to outings with her people. She already knows a few basic commands and is currently working on consolidating these and learning new ones. She enjoys learning together with her person and loves the attention she receives during this process. Peach would very much like to move into a new home together with Fips. However, we can just as easily imagine her as a single dog or with another dog already in the household. Ultimately, the chemistry decides here. For Peach, we wish for people who give her the time to build trust, enjoy spending time with their dog, and take pleasure in walks together. A loving home where Peach can settle in peacefully, gradually build trust, and simply be part of the family would be exactly the right thing for her. Photos: Jessica Böcker Fotografie

Unsere Peach ist eine liebe, menschenbezogene Hündin, die sich sehr über Gesellschaft freut. Sie ist gerne in der Nähe ihrer Menschen, genießt Streicheleinheiten und freut sich über gemeinsame Zeit. Bei vertrauten Menschen zeigt sie sich freundlich und sehr verschmust. Fremden gegenüber ist Peach zunächst eher zurückhaltend und manchmal braucht sie ein wenig Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen und aufzutauen. Gibt man ihr diese Zeit, kommt sie gerne von sich aus näher und genießt dann den Kontakt. Peach kam gemeinsam mit Fips zu uns ins Tierheim. Die beiden wurden in ihrem früheren Zuhause leider vernachlässigt und nicht ausreichend versorgt. Bei uns teilen sie sich weiterhin ein Zimmer und verstehen sich gut. Nun hoffen wir, dass Peach Menschen findet, bei denen sie zukünftig die Aufmerksamkeit und Fürsorge bekommt, die sie verdient. Spaziergänge findet Peach richtig klasse. Sie ist gerne draußen unterwegs und freut sich über gemeinsame Unternehmungen mit ihren Menschen. Einige Grundkommandos kennt sie bereits und arbeitet gerade daran, diese weiter zu festigen und noch Neues dazuzulernen. Sie hat Spaß daran, gemeinsam mit ihrem Menschen zu lernen und freut sich über die Aufmerksamkeit, die sie dabei bekommt. Peach könnte sehr gerne gemeinsam mit Fips in ein neues Zuhause ziehen. Genauso gut können wir sie uns aber auch als Einzelhund oder bei einem bereits vorhandenen Hund vorstellen. Hier entscheidet letztendlich die Sympathie. Für Peach wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben, Vertrauen aufzubauen, gerne Zeit mit ihrem Hund verbringen und Freude an gemeinsamen Spaziergängen haben. Ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem Peach in Ruhe ankommen darf, Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen fassen kann und einfach ein Teil der Familie sein darf, wäre für sie genau das Richtige.

About Peach

What life with Peach looks like

Peach is a small senior dachshund dog waiting at Kreistierheim Böblingen in Germany.

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 Peach, answered.

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