Piccolino

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Kleiner Hund, großer Charakter: Pumi- Mischling Piccolino sucht hundeerfahrene Menschen! Piccolino ist ein kleiner, kastrierter Pumi – Mischlingsrüde, der nach zwei erfolglosen Vermittlungsversuchen nun seit einigen Monaten wieder bei uns lebt. Für diesen besonderen Kerl suchen wir Menschen, die die Sprache der Hunde fließend sprechen und ihm die nötige Führung und Struktur bieten können. Piccolino bringt einen schwierigen Charakter mit und ist kein Anfängerhund. Wenn er sich bedrängt fühlt, etwas nicht möchte oder glaubt, sich verteidigen zu müssen, setzt er seine Zähne ein und kann beißen. Er braucht Menschen die seine Individualdistanz respektieren, Warnsignale frühzeitig lesen und ihm Sicherheit vermitteln. Das Potenzial: Vertrauen ist alles Piccolino zeigt bei uns ganz deutlich, dass er tiefe Bindungen eingehen kann. Zu seinem vertrauten Stammgassigänger, der ihn fast täglich besucht und ausführt, hat er ein tiefes Vertrauensverhältnis aufgebaut. Bei ihm zeigt er keinerlei Berührungsängste – er darf ihm sogar problemlos die Haare schneiden. Das beweist: Mit Geduld und der richtigen Basis ist Piccolino ein absolut loyaler Partner. Piccolino ist kein Hund für jedermann, aber mit den richtigen Menschen an seiner Seite ein treuer Gefährte. Alle weiteren Details zu seiner Vorgeschichte und seinem Verhalten besprechen wir sehr gerne in einem ausführlichen, persönlichen Gespräch.

About Piccolino

What life with Piccolino looks like

Piccolino is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Julias Tierheim Ahaus in Germany.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Piccolino, answered.

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