Adopt Pepo Dackelmix

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

(Can have video) Update 11/2025: Pepo had surgery on his right knee. He did not have a patellar luxation, which is common in many small dog breeds, but a luxation of the long toe extensor. This was surgically stabilized at the beginning of October and the surgeon predicted good healing prospects. Pepo had to rest for several weeks and is now learning, with slow walks on a short leash, to load his leg again normally. The animal shelter staff are very satisfied because he is loading his leg much better now; he just needs to build up muscle strength again. Targeted exercises and physiotherapy would certainly be very helpful, but this is only rarely possible in the daily routine of the animal shelter. Pepo is not bothered by all of this; he is a cheerful dog who is looking forward to a home of his own. Pepo celebrated his first birthday in the animal shelter, after having been given up by an unstable family. We got to know Pepo in May. He is a jolly fellow who comes across as a bit bolder than he actually is. It should not be forgotten that he was still quite new in the animal shelter at that time, which is a very impressive situation for any dog. Pepo met us, as unfamiliar people, somewhat distantly and even barked at us once. However, when dealing with people he knew, he was very nice and clingy. He also passed the cat test with flying colors. Naturally, he was curious, but he remained consistently friendly in contact with the cats behind the fence. Pepo gives a rather sensitive impression. His people should therefore not only see the stubborn dachshund, but also a gentle soul in him, which is still testing itself due to its age and is not yet firmly established, and therefore seeks loving guidance and support. Born: 20.05.2024, Size: approx. 27 cm, Weight: approx. 5.5 kg, Character: active, friendly, initially reserved, Compatible with other animals: yes, compatible with cats: generally yes, in the animal shelter since May 2025. Pepo travels microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, tested for all Mediterranean diseases, and a blood test of the organ values will also be created before travel arrangements. Pepo will be handed over with a safety harness.

(mit Video) Update 11/2025: Pepo wurde am rechten Knie operiert. Er hatte keine Patellaluxation, wie sie vielen kleinen Hunderassen vorkommt, sondern eine Luxation des langen Zehenstreckers. Dieser wurde Anfang Oktober chirurgisch stabilisiert und der Chirurg hat gute Heilungsaussichten prognostiziert. Pepo musste einige Wochen Ruhe halten und lernt nun in langsamen Spaziergängen an der kurzen Leine, sein Bein wieder normal zu belasten. Die Tierheimmitarbeiter sind sehr zufrieden, denn er belastet sein Bein wieder deutlich besser, nun muss er nur wieder Muskulatur aufbauen. Dafür wären gezielte Übungen und Physiotherapie natürlich sehr hilfreich, doch leider ist dies im Tierheimalltag nur sehr unregelmäßig umsetzbar. Pepo ficht das alles nicht an, er ist ein gutgelaunter Hundebube, der sehnlichst auf ein eigenes Zuhause wartet. Pepo musste seinen 1. Geburtstag im Tierheim feiern, nachdem er von einer nicht sesshaften Familie abgegeben worden ist. Wir durften Pepo im Mai kennenlernen. Er ist ein lustiger Geselle, der gerne ein wenig forscher daher kommt, als er wirklich zu sein scheint. Nun darf man nicht vergessen, dass er zu dem Zeitpunkt noch recht neu im Tierheim war und dies für jeden Hund erst einmal eine sehr beeindruckende Situation ist. Uns als für ihn fremde Menschen begegnete Pepo etwas distanziert und kläffte uns auch mal an. Im Umgang mit den ihm bekannten Menschen zeigte er sich jedoch sehr nett und anhänglich. Sogar den Katzentest hat er mit Bravour bestanden. Natürlich war er neugierig, blieb aber durchweg freundlich im Kontakt mit den Stubentigern hinterm Zaun. Pepo macht einen recht sensiblen Eindruck. Seine Menschen sollten also nicht nur den dickköpfigen Dackel, sondern auch eine sanfte Seele in ihm sehen, die sich altersbedingt noch ausprobiert und noch lange nicht gefestigt ist und deshalb liebevolle Führung und Unterstützung sucht. Geboren: 20.05.2024, Größe: ca. 27 cm, Gewicht: ca. 5,5 kg, Charakter: aktiv, freundlich, anfangs zurückhaltend, Verträglich mit Artgenossen: ja verträglich mit Katzen: prinzipiell ja, im Tierheim seit Mai 2025 Pepo reist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert, auf alle Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet, ebenfalls wird vor Ausreise ein Blutbild der Organwerte erstellt. Pepo wird mit Sicherheitsgeschirr übergeben.

About Pepo Dackelmix

What life with Pepo Dackelmix looks like

Pepo Dackelmix is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at TS Fellwechsel e.V. in Varel /nur Vereinssitz, kein Tierheim vor Ort.

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 Pepo Dackelmix, answered.

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