Pepito

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Pepito - young mixed-breed male dog is looking for people to share his life with Pepito is a young mixed-breed male dog currently waiting in the shelter for his chance. Due to his appearance, caregivers suspect that he may be a mix of Podenco and Rauhaar. This can't be confirmed for sure. If this assumption holds true, Pepito probably brings an exciting mix: Podencos are known as sensitive, intelligent and active dogs who enjoy using their nose and exploring their surroundings. Rauhaardackels are often confident, clever and persistent. Originally bred for hunting, they also tend to make their own decisions and need people who give them guidance with loving firmness. Both breeds want to be mentally engaged as well as physically active. Unfortunately, we know nothing about Pepito's past life. Therefore it is unclear what he has already experienced. His future owners should be prepared that he may still have a lot to learn: from basic dog training to a relaxed daily routine in a family. As a young puppy, Pepito is still in the middle of his development. He needs people who give him security, accompany him lovingly and show him with clear guidance how the world works. We wish for Pepito a home that not only sees the sweet young dog but also understands the responsibility behind it. Those willing to invest time, patience and heart get the wonderful chance to guide a dog from an early age and grow together with him. Click here to watch Pepito's video

Pepito – junger Mischlingsrüde sucht Menschen fürs Leben Pepito ist ein junger Mischlingsrüde, der aktuell im Tierheim auf seine Chance wartet. Auf Grund seiner Optik vermuten die Pfleger*innen , dass in ihm sowohl ein Podenco als auch ein Rauhaar stecken könnten. Sicher sagen lässt sich das natürlich nicht. Sollte diese Vermutung stimmen, bringt Pepito vermutlich eine spannende Mischung mit: Podencos gelten als sensible, intelligente und bewegungsfreudige Hunde, die gerne ihre Nase einsetzen und ihre Umgebung erkunden. Rauhaardackel hingegen sind oft selbstbewusst, clever und ausdauernd. Sie wurden ursprünglich für die Jagd gezüchtet, treffen gerne auch einmal eigene Entscheidungen und brauchen Menschen, die ihnen mit liebevoller Konsequenz Orientierung geben. Beide Rassetypen möchten nicht nur körperlich, sondern auch geistig sinnvoll beschäftigt werden. Über Pepitos bisheriges Leben wissen wir leider nichts. Deshalb ist auch unklar, was er schon kennenlernen durfte und welche Erfahrungen er gemacht hat. Seine zukünftigen Menschen sollten sich darauf einstellen, dass er möglicherweise noch vieles lernen muss: vom Hunde-ABC bis hin zu einem entspannten Alltag in einer Familie. Als Junghund steckt Pepito noch mitten in seiner Entwicklung. Er braucht Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit geben, ihn liebevoll begleiten und ihm mit klarer Führung zeigen, wie die Welt funktioniert. Für Pepito wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, das nicht nur den süßen jungen Hund sieht, sondern auch die Verantwortung dahinter versteht. Wer bereit ist, Zeit, Geduld und Herz zu investieren, bekommt die wunderbare Chance, einen Hund von früh an zu begleiten und gemeinsam mit ihm zu wachsen. Hier geht’s zu Pepitos Video

About Pepito

What life with Pepito looks like

Pepito is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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 Pepito, answered.

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