Pingo

Chihuahua · Male · Adult · 6 years

Chihuahua Pingo – ein kleiner Herzensbrecher sucht sein Für-immer-Zuhause Der kleine Rüde Pingo ist einfach ein absoluter Traumhund. Vor Kurzem ist er aus Spanien aus unserem Partnertierheim nach Deutschland gekommen und hat sich sofort in alle Herzen geschlichen. Pingo ist zwar klein, aber mutig erkundet er alles Neue. Pingo ist ein unglaublich menschenbezogener, verschmuster und liebevoller kleiner Kerl. Er möchte am liebsten immer dabei sein und genießt jede Streicheleinheit. Auf dem Schoß oder auf dem Arm fühlt er sich besonders wohl. Aber natürlich ist er kein Taschenhund, sondern einer, der die Welt auf seinen eigenen vier Pfoten erkunden möchte. Ängste kennt er praktisch nicht – er begegnet seiner Umwelt offen, fröhlich und neugierig. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Pingo bestens. Auch Katzen, Pferde und Hühner sind für ihn überhaupt kein Problem. Kinder liebt er genauso wie ältere Menschen – er ist einfach mit jedem freundlich und unkompliziert. Autofahren findet Pingo noch ziemlich aufregend. Er ist bereits fast stubenrein und das nach so kurzer Zeit auf seiner Pflegestelle. Wer einen treuen und anhänglichen Begleiter sucht, der sein Herz verschenkt und das Leben mit ganz viel Liebe bereichert, wird in Pingo den perfekten Freund finden. Er ist wirklich ein kleiner Charmeur und wartet nur darauf, endlich seine eigenen Menschen glücklich zu machen. Hinweis zur Rasse: Der Chihuahua gehört zu den sogenannten Qualzuchtrassen. Durch die gezielte Zucht auf eine extrem kleine Körpergröße und bestimmte äußere Merkmale können gesundheitliche Probleme begünstigt werden. Umso wichtiger ist es, dass Pingo ein verantwortungsbewusstes Zuhause findet, in dem seine Bedürfnisse respektiert werden und sein Wohlbefinden stets im Mittelpunkt steht.

About Pingo

What life with Pingo looks like

Pingo is a small adult chihuahua dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

An 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 Pingo, answered.

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