Pepe

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

My name is Pepe and I am 5 1/2 years old. Unfortunately, I didn't have a good start in my dog life. A family bought me without thinking (as a birthday present). Most of the time, I was locked in the dark toilet. About 3 years ago, I was rescued from there by a man with an older Spitz. From him, I've learned a lot, commands and most importantly, how to be house-trained. Since my master can't keep me anymore due to health reasons, I'm looking for a new, nice family that will take good care of me. I love children, so I can also happily live in a family with kids.

Mein Name ist Pepe und ich bin 5 1/2 Jahre alt. Leider hatte ich keinen guten Start in mein Hundeleben. Eine Familie hat mich ohne nachzudenken angeschafft (als Geburtstagsgeschenk). Die meiste Zeit war ich in der dunklen Toilette eingesperrt. Vor knapp 3 Jahren wurde ich dort heraus geholt von einem Mann mit einem älteren Spitz. Von ihm habe ich jetzt einiges gelernt, Kommandos und vor allem stubenrein zu werden. Da mein Herrchen mich künftig leider aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht behalten kann, suche ich eine neue, nette Famile, die sich gut um mich kümmert. Ich liebe Kinder, kann also auch gerne in eine Familie mit Kindern.

About Pepe

What life with Pepe looks like

Pepe is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Zuflucht für Tiere im Allgäu in Kempten.

An young 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. Zuflucht für Tiere im Allgäu 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 — Zuflucht für Tiere im Allgäu 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 Zuflucht für Tiere im Allgäu 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.
