Pepa

Mixed Breed · Female

The Pepa strolled right in the middle of a busy street, luckily an animal rescuer passed by and rescued her from the street! Pepa was easily caught and put in the car. The ride went directly to a foster home. Her overall condition and physical state were good. During the veterinary examination, a femur fracture was diagnosed. Now, it has been operated on and Pepa is doing well. The animal welfare workers believe that this might be the reason why she was abandoned. Pepa, equipped with the typical Teckel character, independent and brave. independent and totally adorable! She lives with other dogs in a group. Pepa fits well into an active family.

Die Pepa spazierte mitten auf einer befahrenen Straße, zum Glück kam gerade eine Tierschützerin vorbei und holte sie von der Straße! Pepa ließ sich problemlos greifen und ins Auto setzen. Die Fahrt ging direkt zu einer Pflegestelle. Ihr Allgemeinzustand und die körperliche Verfassung waren gut. Bei der tierärztlichen Untersuchung wurde ein Leistenbruch diagnostiziert. Mittlerweile ist er operiert und Pepa ist gut drauf. Die Tierschützer glauben, dass das vielleicht der Grund ist, weshalb man sie ausgesetzt hat. Pepa, ausgestattet mit dem typischen Charakter von Teckel, unabhängig und mutig. Selbständig und total lieb! Sie lebt mit anderen Hunden in einer Gruppe. Pepa passt gut in eine aktive Familie.

About Pepa

What life with Pepa looks like

Pepa is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. 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. 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 Pepa, answered.

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