Penny

Female · Senior · 11 years

Ich bin Penny eine liebevolle, zauberhafte ältere Hundedame auf der Suche nach dem großen Glück. Das bin ich: Nach etlichen Jahren kam ich leider zurück ins Tierheim, weil der frische Nachwuchs der Familie leider nicht so gut mit mir klar kam. Ich bin eine freundliche, gutmütige Hündin, kuschle gern und bin ein richtig lieber Schatz. Gassigehen finde ich toll – und am meisten liebe ich meine Menschen. Ich bin stubenrein, lasse mich meist gut an anderen Hunden vorbeiführen und beherrsche natürlich die Grundkommandos. Futtersuchspiele finde ich toll, und ich kenne auch das Mitfahren im Auto gut. Bei fremden Männern bin ich manchmal anfangs etwas unsicher. Ich wünsche mir ein liebevolles, hundeerfahrenes Zuhause, in dem ich nochmal ankommen und viel kuscheln darf (ebenerdig und ohne Treppen, da ich schon Arthrose habe). Ich freue mich auf eine ruhige Umgebung. Katzen oder Kleintiere sollten dort nicht leben, die mag ich nicht. Kinder sollten mindestens 10 Jahre alt und verständig sein. Auch als Zweithund könnte ich mich eignen – da entscheidet die Sympathie. Wollen wir künftig füreinander da sein? Ich freue mich, wenn du dich meldest – über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Lassie-Haus unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Penny

What life with Penny looks like

Penny is a large senior dog waiting at Tierheim Berlin Falkenberg in Berlin.

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 Penny, answered.

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