Pep

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 1 year

Pep Name: Pep Born: 01/2023 Gender: male dog Breed: Labrador-Mix Size/Weight: 58 – 59 cm Location: animal shelter Castellbisbal May 2025 – The handsome Pep was found in a rural area of Catalonia along with his brother, and that's how he was brought to us. He was very young and scared, as was his brother, who couldn't be caught and got lost, leaving him to face a new and completely unknown world. When we started working with him, things improved automatically. Walking on a leash was entirely new, being inside a house, or walking down the village street – these were all new experiences for him. But with a little patience, he learned everything wonderfully, just like Mowgli in The Jungle Book 🙂 Now, Pep can go for walks with the walkers and enjoy life. He really likes people, enjoys playing with his fellow animals, is well-behaved to everyone, and is also cat-friendly. Pep is a very nice young dog, a Lab mix, healthy, patient, and completely hassle-free. We would love to place him with loving people who have some experience with dogs. A family without very small children, living either in a rural area, a small village, or a small town – that would be ideal and a dream come true for Pep. We are sure that whoever chooses this diamond in the rough will make a great decision. We will be overjoyed for him when the day comes!

Pep Name: Pep Geboren: 01/2023 Geschlecht: Rüde Rasse: Labrador-Mix Größe/Gewicht: 58 – 59 cm Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Castellbisbal Mai 2025 – Der hübsche Pep wurde in einer ländlichen Region Kataloniens zusammen mit seinem Bruder gefunden, und so hat man ihn zu uns gebracht. Er war sehr jung und hatte Angst, sein Bruder ebenfalls, so dass er nicht eingefangen werden konnte und verloren ging, und eine neue und völlig unbekannte Welt tat sich vor seinen Augen auf. Als wir mit ihm zu arbeiten begannen, ging es automatisch bergauf. An der Leine zu laufen war völlig neu, in einem Haus zu sein oder auf der Straße des Dorfes – das waren ebenfalls neue Erlebnisse für ihn. Aber mit ein bisschen Geduld hat er alles prima gelernt, so wie Mowgli im Dschungelbuch 🙂 Und jetzt kann Pep mit den Spaziergängern Gassi gehen und das Leben genießen. Er mag uns Menschen sehr, hat auch Spaß mit seinen Artgenossen, ist brav zu allen und außerdem katzenverträglich. Pep ist ein sehr netter Junghund, ein Labbimix, gesund, geduldig und völlig problemlos. Wir würden ihn sehr gerne an liebevolle Menschen mit etwas Hundeerfahrung vermitteln. Eine Familie ohne ganz kleine Kinder, die entweder ländlich oder in einem kleineren Dorf oder einer Kleinstadt lebt – das wäre ideal und ein Traum für Pep. Wir sind sicher: Wer sich für diesen Rohdiamanten entscheidet, trifft eine gute Wahl. Wir werden uns riesig für ihn freuen, wenn der Tag kommt!

About Pep

What life with Pep looks like

Pep is a extra-large young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierschutzengel Nordhorn in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Pep, answered.

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