How do I contact the shelter about PETERCHEN?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein München handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw PETERCHEN on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt PETERCHEN if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein München 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 PETERCHEN 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 PETERCHEN 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 München early rather than rehoming privately; they know PETERCHEN 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.

PETERCHEN

Male · Senior · 9 years

Our herding-mix dog, Peterchen, came to us because his owner passed away. He was born on October 1, 2017. Currently, he weighs 29.5 kg and stands 68 cm tall at the shoulder. Peterchen is a people-oriented and playful male mixed-breed dog who forms a close bond with his trusted humans. He gets along well with other dogs, depending on mutual compatibility. It’s currently unknown whether he can live peacefully with cats or small animals. Due to his hip dysplasia, we would like Peterchen to have a ground-floor home where he has to climb as few stairs as possible. A house with a garden would be ideal, but it’s not a strict requirement. Since he feels more comfortable in a quiet environment, we’d prefer for him to live in a rural setting rather than right in the heart of the city. Peterchen is an insecure dog and initially reacts with anxiety to new situations, loud noises, and anything unfamiliar. Therefore, he needs patient, empathetic people who give him time to build trust and feel safe. Experience handling insecure dogs would be an advantage for his future owners, enabling them to guide him confidently and understandingly through everyday life. Peterchen has hip dysplasia on the right side and bilateral carpal laxity in his front limbs. -0Fax: 089/90 73 20E-mail

Unser Sennenmischlingshund Peterchen kam zu uns, weil sein Besitzer verstorben ist. Er wurde am 01.10.2017 geboren. Aktuell wiegt er 29,5 kg bei einer Schulterhöhe von 68 cm. Peterchen ist ein menschenbezogener und verspielter Mischlingsrüde, der zu seinen Bezugspersonen eine enge Bindung aufbaut. Mit Artgenossen ist er je nach Sympathie verträglich. Ob er mit Katzen oder Kleintieren zusammenleben kann, ist bislang nicht bekannt. Aufgrund seiner Hüftdysplasie wünschen wir uns für Peterchen ein ebenerdiges Zuhause, in dem er möglichst wenige Treppen steigen muss. Ein Haus mit Garten wäre schön, ist aber keine Voraussetzung. Da er sich in einer ruhigen Umgebung wohler fühlt, wünschen wir uns für ihn ein Zuhause in ländlicher Lage und nicht mitten in der Stadt. Peterchen ist ein unsicherer Hund und reagiert auf neue Situationen, laute Geräusche und alles Unbekannte zunächst ängstlich. Er braucht daher geduldige, einfühlsame Menschen, die ihm Zeit geben, Vertrauen zu fassen und Sicherheit zu gewinnen. Erfahrung im Umgang mit unsicheren Hunden wäre für seine zukünftigen Halter von Vorteil, damit sie ihn souverän und verständnisvoll durch den Alltag begleiten können. Peterchen hat rechts eine Hüftgelenksdysplasie sowie beidseitig eine Durchtrittigkeit der Vordergliedmaßen. -0Fax: 089/90 73 20E-Mail

About PETERCHEN

What life with PETERCHEN looks like

PETERCHEN is a senior dog waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
