Pina

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

Birthdate: 27.07.2014 In the animal shelter since: November 2022 Our Pina is a strong-willed and clever Terrier-Mix female dog who, despite her age, still has plenty of energy. She loves long walks, explores her surroundings with interest, and is always attentive and engaged. So, if you still enjoy being active, Pina will be a great companion by your side. Pina is an independent female dog who knows exactly what she wants. She doesn’t necessarily need cuddles – she enjoys being close to people in her own way and seeks the company of those who accept her as she is. She usually gets along with other dogs but doesn’t need them for happiness. However, she dislikes cats and should not have any animal roommates in her new home. In some situations, Pina reacts insecurely and panically, especially to certain touches that tug at her fur or during grooming. To give her security, she wears a muzzle without any problem or hesitation – she knows how to handle it and is completely at ease with it. Pina is clever, attentive, and trainable but needs people who understand her signals and can give her clear, calm guidance. She is looking for a dog-experienced home, ideally in a quiet environment, with people who will accompany her with patience and respect and still enjoy long walks. For Pina, we wish for people who value her independence, do not force her trust, but earn it gently. When she realizes that you understand her, she will show herself as a loyal, pleasant, and uncomplicated companion – just like a Terrier: confident, honest, and full of joy. Patrons:

Geburtsdatum: 27.07.2014 Im Tierheim seit: November 2022 Unsere Pina ist eine charakterstarke und kluge Terrier-Mix-Hündin, die trotz ihres Alters noch voller Energie steckt. Sie liebt ausgedehnte Spaziergänge, erkundet gerne ihre Umgebung und ist dabei aufmerksam und interessiert. Wer also selbst noch gern aktiv unterwegs ist, wird mit Pina eine tolle Begleiterin an seiner Seite haben. Pina ist eine eigenständige Hündin, die genau weiß, was sie möchte. Schmuseeinheiten braucht sie nicht unbedingt – sie genießt Nähe lieber auf ihre eigene Weise und sucht die Gesellschaft von Menschen, die sie so nehmen, wie sie ist. Mit anderen Hunden kommt sie meist klar, braucht sie aber nicht zum Glücklichsein. Katzen hingegen mag sie überhaupt nicht, weshalb sie in ihrem neuen Zuhause keine tierischen Mitbewohner haben sollte. In manchen Situationen reagiert Pina unsicher und panisch, besonders bei bestimmten Berührungen die im Fell ziepen oder bei Pflegemaßnahmen. Um ihr Sicherheit zu geben, trägt sie problemlos und selbstverständlich einen Maulkorb – sie kennt das gut und ist damit völlig entspannt. Pina ist clever, aufmerksam und lernfähig, braucht aber Menschen, die ihre Signale verstehen und ihr klare, ruhige Führung geben. Sie sucht ein hundeerfahrenes Zuhause, idealerweise in einer ruhigen Umgebung, bei Menschen, die sie mit Geduld und Respekt begleiten und noch Freude an langen Spaziergängen haben. Für Pina wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihre Eigenständigkeit schätzen, ihr Vertrauen nicht erzwingen, sondern sich behutsam erarbeiten. Wenn sie merkt, dass man sie versteht, zeigt sie sich als treue, angenehme und unkomplizierte Gefährtin – ganz Terrier eben: selbstbewusst, ehrlich und voller Lebensfreude.

About Pina

What life with Pina looks like

Pina is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Pfungstadt und Umgebung e.V in Pfungstadt.

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 Pina, answered.

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