Adopt Penny

Mixed Breed · Female

The little Penny is a charming little female dog. With the help of a "ticket out of hell," the little mouse was rescued and has now arrived at our intake station in southern Spanish Linares. Penny's past is quickly told. She lived happily with a family until there was a new addition. When the baby came, Penny had to be confined to a terrace. Eventually, she was discarded. We are glad that we were able to take her in. The local caretakers describe Penny as a friendly female dog, she is curious and friendly toward people. She gets along well with all the other dogs, but she is currently a bit overwhelmed by the situation. During the health check, conjunctivitis was diagnosed, which is already being treated. Penny is now waiting for a new family that will appreciate her life. We would be very happy if we could find some truly loving people who would like to give our treasure a nice home. If you have the heart in the right place, then get in touch with us!

Die kleine Penny ist eine reizende kleine Hundedame. Mit Hilfe eines "Tickets aus der Hölle" konnte die kleine Maus gerettet werden und ist nun in unserer Auffangstation im südspanischen Linares angekommen.Penny‘s Vergangenheit ist schnell erzählt. Sie lebte bislang glücklich bei einer Familie bis sich Nachwuchs ankündigte. Als das Baby kam, musste Penny fortan eingesperrt auf einer Terrasse leben. Zu guter Letzt wurde sie dann doch ganz entsorgt. Wir sind froh, dass wir sie bei uns aufnehmen konnten. Die Betreuer vor Ort beschreiben Penny als freundliche Hündin, sie ist neugierig und nett gegenüber Menschen. Sie kommt mit allen Hunden gut zurecht, jedoch ist sie momentan mit der Gesamtsituation etwas überfordert. Beim Gesundheitscheck wurde eine Konjunktivitis festgestellt, die bereits behandelt wird. Penny wartet nun auf eine neue Familie, die ihr Leben endlich zu schätzen weiß. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn sich schnell ganz liebe Menschen finden, die unserem Schatz ein schönes Plätzchen schenken möchten. Wenn Sie das Herz am richtigen Fleck haben, dann melden Sie sich bei uns!

About Penny

What life with Penny looks like

Penny is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) in Vilseck.

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. 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 Penny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Penny?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) 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 — Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) 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 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 Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
