Pete

Mixed Breed · Male

Flyer for Pete, to hang up, distribute, and spread if you would like to help introduce him: If you are interested in Pete, please contact: "We had really a lot of snow again this weekend 😉." "Unfortunately, nothing is happening for the little fellow. Yet despite his timidity, he is a cheerful puppy and often has fun. Clipping the leash on and off in the garden works great, putting the harness on and taking it off in the house also works without problems. Letting himself be touched is still not really his thing, but it is getting better. I think he has a good share of terrier blood in his veins; in any case, on walks he keeps his nose mainly on the ground, and he chases everything that comes in front of his nose (with the exception of the cats, whom he leaves in peace, after they made it very clear to him that they are not so keen on it). From time to time he suffers from delusions of grandeur, but that passes quite quickly. He gets along with other dogs, though he prefers big dogs to small ones. Storms don't bother him, and rain doesn't either, but only in combination does he find his basket better." "Pete is becoming increasingly brave, though at times he also oversteps the mark. On that occasion he got a bloody nose from Misty and Lillebror because he wanted to steal their cat food (the two didn't find that very funny). Otherwise he gets along well with the cats. He is still a little wary of hands, but at least putting the harness on and taking it off now works somewhat acceptably, so that I can sometimes leave the harness off in the apartment. Going for walks has now become his great passion, and these can even last 1½ hours at a stretch. Cyclists and joggers still give him a terrible fright, though; then he puts it in reverse or tucks himself behind Faolan or between the girls. Strange dogs are mostly no problem, only when they come up to him barking loudly does he get scared (who could blame him). On the leash he now walks without problems, though he has something of a scent hound about him (always nose on the ground). He is usually only responsive in 'sniffing mode' on the second address." "He is a little scaredy-cat and finds everything frightening at first. But by now putting the leash on and off works both in the house and in the garden. We haven't gone for a proper walk yet, because walking on the leash over longer distances is still very much a work in progress. But he already walks from the house to the garden and also to"

Flyer für Pete zum aushängen, verteilen und verbreiten wenn Sie helfen möchten, ihn vorzustellen: Bei Interesse an Pete wenden Sie sich bitte an: "Wir hatten am Wochenende nochmal richtig viel Schnee 😉. " "Leider tut sich für das Bübchen so gar nichts. Dabei ist er trotz seiner Ängstlichkeit ein fröhliches Hundekind und hat oft Spaß in den Backen. An- und Ableinen im Garten klappt super, Geschirr an- und ausziehen im Haus geht auch problemlos. Anfassen lassen ist immer noch nicht so seins, aber es wird besser. Ich denke, er hat einen gut Teil Terrierblut in seinen Adern, seine Nase hat er beim Gassigehen jedenfalls hauptsächlich auf dem Boden und er jagt alles, was ihm vor die Nase kommt (mit Ausnahme der Katzen, die lässt er fein in Ruhe, nachdem sie ihm sehr deutlich gesagt haben, dass sie darauf nicht so erpicht sind ). Ab und zu leidet er unter Größenwahn, aber das gibt sich recht schnell. Mit anderen Hunden ist er verträglich, große Hunde findet er aber besser als kleine. Sturm macht ihm nichts aus, Regen auch nicht, nur in Kombination findet er das Körbchen besser. " "Pete wird zunehmend mutiger, schlägt dabei zeitweise allerdings auch über die Stränge. Von Misty und Lillebror hat er sich bei der Gelegenheit eine blutige Nase geholt, weil er ihnen das Katzenfutter klauen wollte (fanden die beiden nicht sooo witzig). Ansonsten kommt er mit den Katzen gut zurecht. Er ist immer noch etwas handscheu, aber zumindest klappt es nun mit dem Geschirr an- und ausziehen so leidlich, so dass ich in der Wohnung das Geschirr auch mal auslassen kann. Spazieren gehen ist mittlerweile seine große Leidenschaft, das dürfen dann schon auch mal 1½ Stunden am Stück sein. Fahrradfahrer und Jogger jagen ihm allerdings noch einen Heidenschreck ein, da legt er noch den Rückwärtsgang ein oder klemmt sich hinter Faolan oder zwischen die Mädels. Fremde Hunde sind meist kein Problem, nur wenn sie laut bellend auf ihn zukommen, bekommt er es noch mit der Angst (wer kann ihm das verdenken). An der Leine läuft er mittlerweile problemlos, er hat dabei allerdings was von einem Spürhund (immer die Nase auf dem Boden). Ansprechbar ist er im "Schnüffelmodus" meist erst bei der zweiten Ansprache" "Er ist eine kleine Schissbux und findet erst mal alles gruselig. Aber mittlerweile klappt an- und ableinen sowohl im Haus als auch im Garten. Gassi waren wir noch nicht, weil an der Leine laufen über längere Strecken noch sehr ausbaufähig ist. Aber er läuft bereits vom Haus zum Garten und auch zu

About Pete

What life with Pete looks like

Pete is a medium-sized mixed breed dog waiting at Fellchen in Not e.V. in Germany.

A 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pete, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pete?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Fellchen in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pete on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pete if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Fellchen in Not e.V. whether they will for Pete, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Pete already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Fellchen in Not e.V. lists Pete as neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Fellchen in Not e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Pete isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Fellchen in Not e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pete 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.
