Penelopa

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 5 months

Penelopa is a charming Border Collie-German Shepherd mix girl currently living in a public animal shelter in Croatia. The little mouse has not yet had the opportunity to explore much of the world. Therefore, she may initially be a bit cautious or reserved in her new environment. However, with patience, calmness, and loving guidance, Penelopa will surely gain trust and develop into a great companion. ❤️ Like any puppy, Penelopa is playful, curious, and full of energy. She gets along well with other dogs and enjoys four-legged company. Of course, she is not yet house-trained and needs to learn the basics of dog training. Her new people should therefore have enough time and patience for the adjustment and training. Due to her Border Collie-German Shepherd mix, Penelopa is likely to become an active and intelligent female dog. In addition to sufficient physical exercise, mental stimulation will also play an important role in her life. Joint training, nose work, small tasks, and later perhaps dog sports could bring her a lot of joy. People who want to show Penelopa the world and patiently accompany her on her way to a confident and balanced female dog are sought. A home where she is not just "walked" but where she is really engaged with and age-appropriately supported would be ideal. Whoever wants to give Penelopa the chance of a loving start in life will surely get a very special female dog by their side. 🐾❤️

Penelopa ist ein bezauberndes Schäferhund-Border-Collie-Mix-Mädchen, das derzeit in einem öffentlichen Tierheim in Kroatien lebt. Viel von der Welt hat die kleine Maus bisher noch nicht kennenlernen dürfen. Daher kann es gut sein, dass sie in ihrer neuen Umgebung anfangs etwas vorsichtig oder zurückhaltend ist. Doch mit Geduld, Ruhe und liebevoller Führung wird Penelopa sicherlich schnell Vertrauen fassen und sich zu einer tollen Begleiterin entwickeln. ❤️ Wie jeder Welpe ist Penelopa verspielt, neugierig und voller Energie. Sie versteht sich gut mit anderen Hunden und freut sich über vierbeinige Gesellschaft. Natürlich ist sie noch nicht stubenrein und muss das Hunde-1x1 erst von Grund auf lernen. Ihre neuen Menschen sollten daher ausreichend Zeit und Geduld für die Eingewöhnung und Erziehung mitbringen. Durch ihren Schäferhund-Border-Collie-Mix wird Penelopa vermutlich einmal eine aktive und intelligente Hündin werden. Neben ausreichend körperlicher Bewegung wird deshalb auch die mentale Auslastung eine wichtige Rolle in ihrem Leben spielen. Gemeinsames Training, Nasenarbeit, kleine Aufgaben und später vielleicht auch Hundesport könnten ihr viel Freude bereiten. Gesucht werden Menschen, die Lust darauf haben, Penelopa die Welt zu zeigen und sie geduldig auf ihrem Weg zu einer selbstbewussten und ausgeglichenen Hündin zu begleiten. Ein Zuhause, in dem sie nicht einfach „mitlaufen“ soll, sondern in dem man sich wirklich mit ihr beschäftigt und sie altersgerecht fördert, wäre ideal. Wer Penelopa die Chance auf einen liebevollen Start ins Leben schenken möchte, wird mit Sicherheit eine ganz besondere Hündin an seiner Seite bekommen. 🐾❤️

About Penelopa

What life with Penelopa looks like

Penelopa is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

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 Penelopa, answered.

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