Pip

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Although Pip weighs only 4 kg and is one of the lighter dogs on the farm, he makes up for it effortlessly with a big helping of self-confidence. The little macho knows exactly what he wants and is not shy about voicing his opinion. Yet behind that big mouth lies a true cuddler who most of all loves to be very close to his people. Our "light-coated" Pug-Chihuahua mix has found his favorite spot under the warm blanket, snuggled up against your legs. Physical closeness is definitely not optional for Pip; it is mandatory. Pip has a sensitive stomach, which earned him the nickname "Furzbär" (roughly "Fart Bear"), and his skin also needs a bit more care and attention than many other dogs'. Anyone adopting Pip should therefore be ready to look after his special needs. Pip does not let that take away his joy of life, however. He loves going for walks, zooms through the garden with the other dogs, and enjoys every day to the fullest. His sociable nature is especially endearing: Pip gets along with almost every dog and repeatedly manages to bring different four-legged friends together. Here, he is considered a kind of social glue for the dog group. For our charming little fellow, we are looking for a home that won't be put off by a bit of flatulence, some extra care, and a big dose of personality. Whoever gives Pip their heart gets a loyal companion, a cuddle pro, and a best friend for life.

Pip gehört mit seinen 4 kg zwar zu den leichteren Hunden auf dem Hof, gleicht das aber mühelos mit einer großen Portion Selbstvertrauen aus. Der kleine Macho weiß genau, was er will, und scheut sich nicht, seine Meinung kundzutun. Doch hinter der großen Klappe steckt ein echter Schmuser, der am liebsten immer ganz nah bei seinen Menschen ist. Seinen Lieblingsplatz hat unser "leichtbefellter" Mops-Chihuahua-Mix unter der warmen Decke gefunden, eingekuschelt an deine Beine - Körperkontakt ist für Pip definitiv keine Option, sondern Pflichtprogramm. Pip hat einen empfindlichen Magen, der ihm den Spitznamen "Furzbär" eingebracht hat, und auch seine Haut benötigt etwas mehr Pflege und Aufmerksamkeit als bei vielen anderen Hunden. Wer Pip adoptiert, sollte deshalb bereit sein, sich um seine besonderen Bedürfnisse zu kümmern. Davon lässt sich Pip aber keineswegs die Lebensfreude nehmen. Er geht gerne spazieren, flitzt mit den anderen Hunden durch den Garten und genießt jeden Tag in vollen Zügen. Besonders liebenswert ist seine soziale Art: Pip versteht sich mit nahezu jedem Hund und schafft es immer wieder, unterschiedliche Vierbeiner zusammenzubringen. Bei uns gilt er deshalb als eine Art sozialer Klebstoff der Hundegruppe. Für unseren charmanten kleinen Kerl suchen wir ein Zuhause, das sich nicht von ein bisschen Pupserei, etwas zusätzlicher Pflege und einer großen Portion Persönlichkeit abschrecken lässt. Wer Pip sein Herz schenkt, bekommt einen treuen Begleiter, Kuschelprofi und besten Freund für`s Leben.

About Pip

What life with Pip looks like

Pip is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhof(fnung) e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pip, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pip?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhof(fnung) e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pip on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pip if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierhof(fnung) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Pip 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 Pip 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 Tierhof(fnung) e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pip 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.
