How do I contact the shelter about Pia?

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

Can I adopt Pia if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ProTier 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 Pia 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 Pia 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 ProTier e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pia 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.

Pia

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

A call for help came in for this tiny little dog girl from private individuals living in a rural area facing difficult circumstances. They couldn't keep the little one, so our partner Caterina set out to ensure that the puppy wouldn't come to harm and brought her home with her. The little dog girl was in very poor condition—her coat was matted and infested with mites; she was thin, hungry, and thirsty. With our partner, the little one—who is now called Pia—is now in good hands. Little by little, Pia is recovering, and we sincerely hope that she'll soon be fully healed. When the time comes, we'd like to bring Pia to Germany as well, so that she can find her forever home here with loving people. Would you like to welcome little Pia into your family and give her a happy, hopefully long life as part of a close-knit family?July 12, 2026: During our project tour at the end of June 2026, we also met little Pia at our partner Caterina's place. Thanks to the loving care she's been receiving, Pia has developed beautifully. The mites have been successfully treated, and her coat has grown back beautifully. Although she still shows some shyness around us, she's become comfortable with Caterina and her helper and was therefore quite relaxed during the photo session. Even though Pia feels comfortable in the small enclosure at our partner's place and has now even gotten a nice playmate: it's time to leave this temporary stage behind and start a new chapter in her life. If you're currently looking for a new furry family member and are aware that adoption not only brings great joy but also requires work and great responsibility, we'd be delighted to hear from you. We arrange adoptions nationwide.Your contact person for this...

Für dieses winzige Hundemädchen gab es einen Hilferuf von Privatleuten, die in schwieriger Situation auf dem Land leben. Sie konnten die Kleine nicht behalten, und so machte sich unsere Partnerin Caterina auf den Weg, um zu verhindern, dass dem Hundebaby etwas zustößt, und holte es zu sich nach Hause.Das kleine Hundemädchen war in sehr schlechtem Zustand, sein Fell war struppig vom Milbenbefall, es war mager, hungrig und durstig. Bei unserer Partnerin war die Kleine, die nun Pia heißt, aber in guten Händen. So nach und nach erholt die kleine Pia sich, und wir hoffen sehr, dass sie bald vollständig genesen sein wird. Wenn es soweit ist, möchten wir Pia dann auch nach Deutschland holen, damit sie hier bei lieben Menschen ihr Traumzuhause für immer finden kann.Möchten Sie die kleine Pia aufnehmen und ihr ein glückliches und hoffentlich langes Hundeleben mit engem Familienanschluss schenken?12. Juli 2026: Während unserer Projekttour Ende Juni 2026 lernten wir bei unserer Partnerin Caterina auch die kleine Pia kennen. Sie hat sich dank der liebevollen Versorgung gut entwickelt. Die Milben wurden erfolgreich bekämpft, das Fell ist schön nachgewachsen.Uns gegenüber zeigte sie sich noch rechtschüchtern, aber mit Caterina und deren Helferin ist sie vertraut und war deshalb auch zur Fotoaktion recht entspannt.Auch wenn sich Pia im kleinen Gehege bei unserer Partnerin wohlfühlt und jetzt auch einen netten Spielkumpel bekommen hat: Es ist an der Zeit, diese Zwischenstation hinter sich lassen und in ein neues Leben starten zu können.08. August 2026:Pia durfte auf ihren deutschen Pflegeplatz reisen.Wenn Sie gerade auf der Suche nach einem neuen fellnasigen Familienmitglied sind und Ihnen bewusst ist, dass eine Adoption nicht nur sehr viel Freude bereitet, sondern auch Arbeit und große Verantwortung mit sich bringt, freuen wir uns über Ihre Nachricht.Wir vermitteln bundesweit.Ihre Ansprechpartnerin für diese

About Pia

What life with Pia looks like

Pia is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
