Pepito

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Pepito was at the municipal euthanasia station in Moinesti. Trembling with fear, he sat in the corner of his cell, too scared to move. And no wonder—when you know how the staff there treat the animals. With the help of a sponsor, Pepito was rescued from the euthanasia station and taken to the Ringo Land animal shelter. On the day he was rescued, he went through yet another deeply traumatic experience: the staff there pull the animals out using a wire noose. The video from the euthanasia station shows precisely that moment—and just how cruelly the animals are treated there.

Pepito sa� in der st�dtischen T�tungsstation von Moinesti. Star vor Angst sa� er in seiner Zelle in der Ecke und traute sich nicht zu bewegen. Was kein Wunder ist, wenn man wei�, wie die Mitarbeiter dort mit den Tieren umgehen. Pepito wurde mit Hilfe einer Patin aus der T�tungsstation heraus geholt und im Tierheim Ringo Land untergebracht. Am Tag als er herausgeholt wurde, ging er noch einmal durch ein sehr traumatisches Erlebnis, da die W�rter dort die Tiere an einer Drahtschlinge herausziehen. Das Video aus der T�tungsstation zeigt diesen Moment und wie schlimm man dort mit den Tieren umgeht

About Pepito

What life with Pepito looks like

Pepito is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Santorini e.V. in Mainz.

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 Pepito, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pepito?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Santorini 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 — Tierschutzverein Santorini 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 Tierschutzverein Santorini 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.
