Pijou

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Unser Pijou ist ein kleines Energiebündel, der zusammen mit seinen vier Geschwistern im August 2024 auf einem verlassenen Grundstück in Rumänien gefunden wurde. Von seiner Mutterhündin fehlte damals leider jede Spur. Mit seinem aufgeweckten und fröhlichen Wesen ist Pijou immer gern vorne dabei, wenn es darum geht, neue Abenteuer zu erleben. Seine intensive Neugier treibt ihn an, die Welt um sich herum zu erkunden und er kann es kaum erwarten, all die spannenden Dinge zu entdecken, die das Leben für ihn bereithält – im Shelter sind diese Abenteuer Natur und Leben leider nur stark begrenzt. Pijou liebt die Aufmerksamkeit und genießt es hin und wieder mal im Mittelpunkt zu stehen – sei es beim Spielen mit seinen Tierheimfreunden oder beim Schmusen mit uns Tierschützern. Besonders auffällig sind dabei immer seine großen, leuchtenden Augen. Sie spiegeln eine Menge Lebensfreude wider. Wenn man Pijou anschaut, spürt man sofort seine Zuversicht und den Glauben daran, dass das Beste (hoffentlich) noch vor ihm liegt. Er ist bereit für all die schönen Momente und Abenteuer, die ihm ein neues Zuhause und somit ein neues Leben zu bieten hat! Pijou reist vollständig geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, kastriert, auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis in sein neues Zuhause.

About Pijou

What life with Pijou looks like

Pijou is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Zweite Chance e.V. in Bitterfeld - Wolfen.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pijou, answered.

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