Pele

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Pele is a 6-year-old Border Collie mix with a lot of energy and a love for activities with her human. She needs both physical and mental stimulation to stay happy. Clear tasks and structures help her calm down and feel secure. We took Pele in after her previous owner was overwhelmed by her size and exercise needs. Unfortunately, she didn't get the start in life she needed. Pele has behavioral issues that can be worked on with patience and experience. She tends to guard resources like food or her leash and gets stressed in unfamiliar or confusing situations. She can be difficult to read, especially with children, which is why we don't want to place her in a household with young kids. We're looking for a home with experienced dog owners who can provide her with security, clear rules, and loving, consistent leadership. She's not a beginner dog, but she has a lot of potential. If you're willing to invest time in her and understand her needs, you'll get an intelligent, eager to learn, and loyal companion. Pele is looking for people who won't try to change her, but help her show her best self. Information: TSV Harlingerland e. V., Tel:

Vermittlungshilfe Pele ist eine etwa 6 Jahre alte Border-Collie-Mix-Hündin mit viel Energie und Freude an gemeinsamer Beschäftigung. Sie liebt es, mit ihrem Menschen aktiv zu sein und braucht sowohl körperliche als auch geistige Auslastung. Aufgaben und klare Strukturen helfen ihr dabei, zur Ruhe zu kommen und geben ihr Sicherheit. Wir haben Pele übernommen, nachdem ihre damalige Besitzerin mit ihrer Größe und ihrem Bewegungsdrang überfordert war. Leider hat sie dadurch nicht den Start ins Leben bekommen, den sie gebraucht hätte. Pele zeigt Verhaltensauffälligkeiten, an denen mit Geduld und Erfahrung gearbeitet werden sollte. Sie neigt dazu, Ressourcen wie Futter oder ihre Leine zu verteidigen und gerät in ungewohnten oder unübersichtlichen Situationen schnell unter Stress. Besonders Kinder kann sie nur schwer einschätzen, weshalb wir sie nicht in einen Haushalt mit kleinen Kindern vermitteln möchten. Für Pele wünschen wir uns ein hundeerfahrenes Zuhause mit Menschen, die Freude daran haben, ihr Sicherheit, klare Regeln und eine liebevolle, konsequente Führung zu geben. Sie ist kein Anfängerhund, bringt aber viel Potenzial mit. Wer bereit ist, Zeit in sie zu investieren und ihre Bedürfnisse zu verstehen, bekommt eine intelligente, lernfreudige und treue Begleiterin an seine Seite. Pele sucht Menschen, die sie nicht verändern wollen, sondern ihr helfen, ihr Bestes zu zeigen. Informationen: TSV Harlingerland e. V. , Tel. :

About Pele

What life with Pele looks like

Pele is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Harlingerland in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pele, answered.

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