Pepe

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Pepe ist anfangs ein eher schüchterner und zurückhaltender Hund. Neue Situationen und fremde Menschen betrachtet er erst einmal mit etwas Vorsicht. Gibt man ihm die Zeit, in seinem eigenen Tempo anzukommen, zeigt er jedoch schnell, was für ein wunderbarer Kerl in ihm steckt. Hat Pepe Vertrauen gefasst, ist er ein fröhlicher, lustiger und liebevoller Begleiter. Er genießt ausgedehnte Spaziergänge, läuft dabei sehr ordentlich an der Leine und freut sich über jede gemeinsame Unternehmung. Besonders die Nähe zu seinen Menschen ist ihm wichtig. Er liebt es, gestreichelt und gebürstet zu werden und möchte einfach gerne dabei sein Pepe kann nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit auch problemlos alleine bleiben. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich gut – bei Rüden entscheidet die Sympathie, mit Hündinnen ist er in der Regel unkompliziert. Kinder dürfen gerne zu seiner neuen Familie gehören, sollten aber bereits etwa zehn Jahre oder älter sein. Nicht, weil Pepe böse wäre, sondern weil er anfangs etwas unsicher ist und ein ruhiger, verständnisvoller Umgang ihm den Start erleichtert. Für Pepe wünschen wir uns Menschen mit Geduld und Herz, die ihm die Zeit geben, Vertrauen zu fassen. Wer das tut, gewinnt einen treuen Freund fürs Leben, der mit seiner liebevollen Art jeden Tag bereichert.

About Pepe

What life with Pepe looks like

Pepe is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Herne-Wanne in Herne.

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 Pepe, answered.

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