Piefke

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Hello, I am Piefke. I am a crazy but lovable type. I am very open with people and enjoy being petted and given treats. I have found great enjoyment in my daily walks, although I can be quite unruly there, especially with children's groups or construction sites. It is important that my new owners can provide me with the necessary stability. As I am a very active dog, I need a lot of physical exertion. I also need to meet the small dog 1x1, and in general, my mental stimulation must not be lacking. I will also have to learn what life at home is like, as my caretakers say that I can be quite exhausting at the dinner table. Through clear rules and structures, I should be able to learn this quickly. I get along well with other dogs, but I can be very intrusive and lack boundaries. Children should definitely be older, as I can sometimes get wound up and have my "5 minutes." So, if you're interested in attending dog training classes with me, have prior experience with dogs, are very active, and can provide me with the necessary security, you should come and visit me at this breed Shelter soon. With my sassy but charming personality, I will definitely steal your heart. I would be delighted if someone would take an interest in me.

Hallo, ich bin der Piefke. Ich bin ein durchgeknallter, aber lieber Typ, Menschen gegenüber bin ich sehr aufgeschlossen, die kraulen mich durch und geben mir Leckerli. An meinen täglichen Gassirunden habe ich großen Gefallen gefunden, allerdings zeige ich mich dort noch regelmäßig sehr unischer, z.B. bei Kindergruppen oder Baustellen. Da ist es dann wichtig, dass mir meine neuen Besitzer den nötigen Halt bieten können. Da ich ein sehr sportlicher Hund bin, brauche ich viel körperliche Auslastung. Das kleine Hunde 1x1 muss ich auch noch kennenlernen, generell darf bei mir die geistige Auslastung nicht zu kurz kommen. Das Leben zu Hause werde ich auch noch lernen müssen, meine Pfleger sagen, dass ich am Mittagstisch ganz schön anstrengend bin. Durch klare Regeln und Strukturen sollte ich das später aber schnell lernen. Mit anderen Hunden zeige ich mich hier gut verträglich, bin allerdings sehr aufdringlich und distanzlos. Kinder sollten auf jeden Fall schon größer sein, da ich immer mal wieder gut aufdrehen kann und dann meine "5 Minuten" habe. Also, wer Lust hat mit mir die Hundeschule zu besuchen, bereits Erfahrung mit Hunden hat, viel auf den Beinen ist und mir auch die nötige Sicherheit geben kann, sollte mich schnellstens mal im Tierheim besuchen kommen. Mit meiner frechen aber charmanten Art haue ich euch bestimmt aus den Socken. Ich würde mich freuen wenn sich jemand für mich meldet. Euer Piefke

About Piefke

What life with Piefke looks like

Piefke is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
