Picachu

Dachshund · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Here we have a little dog family. Dad (Terrier) and Mom (Dachshund) lived with a local resident, and as it happened, the female became pregnant. The owner contacted our cooperating shelter, LIDA. Unfortunately, the people were very unwilling to consider neutering, and the puppies were handed over to our shelter together with Mom and Dad. Dad has already been placed, while Mom and the kids are now looking for a loving home. Here are Mom Pimpinella and the puppies Picasso, Picachu and Pashmina. Picachu is the only one who looks like a Jack Russell. He is a carefree, cheerful puppy with plenty of mischief on his mind. He wishes for an active family that also has time for cuddling. The puppies are all bright and playful, as is typical for their age. They romp, run and cuddle together, and Mom keeps an eye on everything to make sure things go properly. The babies will stay small; we estimate about 35 cm. We are looking for a family or single person for the puppies. They should either have some dog experience or be willing to attend a dog training school, since even small dogs need training to become wonderful family dogs. A social first-time dog in the household is welcome. Children should be of primary school age and know how to handle animals responsibly. Do you have questions about Picachu? Then please feel free to get in touch. All dogs are microchipped, vaccinated and travel with an EU pet passport in a transport registered with the German veterinary office. The dogs travel with TRACES.

Und hier haben wir eine kleine Hunde- Familie. Papa (Terrier) und Mama (Dackel) lebten bei einer Einheimischen und wie es so kam, wurde die Hündin trächtig. Man wandte sich an unser Kooperationstierheim, die LIDA. Leider waren die Leute sehr uneinsichtig bezüglich Kastration und man übergab die Welpen mit Mama und Papa an unser Tierheim. Da sind die Mama Pimpinella und die Welpen Picasso, Picachu und Pashmina. Picachu ist der Einzige, der wie ein Jack Russel aussieht. Er ist ein unbekümmerter, fröhlicher Welpe, der noch allerlei Unsinn im Kopf hat. Er wünscht sich eine aktive Familie, die aber auch Zeit zum Kuscheln hat. Die Welpen sind alle aufgeweckt und alterstypisch verspielt. Sie toben, rennen und kuscheln zusammen und Mama passt auf, dass alles mit rechten Dingen zugeht. Die Babies werden klein bleiben, wir schätzen ca 35 cm. Wir suchen für die Welpen eine Familie oder Einzelperson. Sie sollten entweder ein wenig Hundeerfahrung haben oder eine Hundeschule besuchen wollen, denn auch kleine Hunde brauchen Erziehung, damit aus ihnen tolle Familienhunde werden. Gerne kann ein sozialer Ersthund in der Familie leben. Kinder sollten im Grundschulalter sein und den verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Tieren kennen. Haben Sie Fragen zu Picachu? Dann nehmen Sie gerne Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport. Die Hunde reisen mit TRACES.

About Picachu

What life with Picachu looks like

Picachu is a small puppy dachshund dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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. 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 Picachu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Picachu?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Picachu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Picachu 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 Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde whether they will for Picachu, 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 Picachu already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde lists Picachu as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Picachu isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Picachu 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.
