How do I contact the shelter about Piksi?

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

Can I adopt Piksi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 Piksi 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 Piksi 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 Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Piksi 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.

Piksi

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Piksi – an energy bundle that wants to get out → Breed: mixed breed → Gender: female → Born: 05/2024 → Size / Weight: 40 cm / 15 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Microchip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: N/A → Sponsorships possible: yes Description: Piksi is one year old and only 40 cm tall, but she has a big heart and endless energy! This little female dog was rescued along with her siblings and is eagerly waiting to experience life outside the shelter. She longs to lie in the grass, enjoy nature, and bury her paws in the earth. Piksi is a little whirlwind who loves to run, play, and be active. She gets along very well with other dogs and has no fear of being touched by humans. She is the perfect companion for active people who enjoy sports. But Piksi needs more than just exercise – she also needs mental stimulation and a purpose. She wants to work and learn, and with her intelligence and determination, she is a perfect candidate for dog training and sports. However, she still needs to learn the basics of dog behavior, so an owner is needed who can provide her with the necessary education and training. If you want to lead an active and varied life with Piksi, then get in touch with us! [youtube] Note: This animal is still abroad and is looking for a foster or permanent home. Gets along with other dogs.

Diese kleine Hündin wurde zusammen mit ihren Geschwistern gerettet und wartet nur darauf, endlich das Leben außerhalb des Shelters zu erleben. Sie sehnt sich danach, im Gras zu liegen, die Natur zu genießen und ihre Pfoten in der Erde zu vergraben. Piksi ist ein kleiner Wirbelwind, der gerne rennt, spielt und sich bewegt. Sie ist sehr verträglich mit anderen Hunden und hat keine Berührungsängste mit Menschen. Sie ist der perfekte Begleiter für aktive Menschen, die gerne Sport treiben.

Sie will arbeiten und lernen, und mit ihrer Intelligenz und ihrem Willen ist sie ein perfekter Kandidat für Hundetraining und -sport.

About Piksi

What life with Piksi looks like

Piksi is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An young 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.
