Pipa

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 6 months

Juna and Pipa are two charming young ladies (they will be six months old by Christmas 2025), who were found together with their siblings near the shelter in Huelva. Some of the lively companions have already won nice families in Spain, and Nune, another little lady from the curious bunch, is traveling to Germany in November to her foster family. But Juna and Pipa are in the kennel and must observe the world they so eagerly want to conquer through bars. For now, the two cheerful girls take it with humor and spend their days playing together and waiting for the small attentions of the animal welfare workers. But for young dogs like Juna and Pipa, the animal shelter is a dreary place. Where a teenager should learn when to shut their mouth, how to stay home alone, how to sit quietly in the car, how to sneak shoes and look innocent when holes appear in socks, Juna and Pipa are stuck in their too-small space, wondering when their next adventure will arrive. They would love to be petted, help build the Christmas tree in December, and steal the hearts of the entire neighborhood. If you are smitten with one of our little backfischlein, if you are active and humorous, if you like to be outdoors and can overlook the fact that quick muddy paws sometimes leave traces on your carpet and in the car, in short, if you are dog-friendly and have plenty of time to explain life to your new best friend, we are very much looking forward to hearing from you!

Juna und Pipa sind zwei entzückende junge Damen (sie werden an Weihnachten 2025 6 Monate alt sein), die zusammen mit ihren Geschwistern in der Nähe des Tierheims in Huelva gefunden wurden. Einige der lustigen Gesellen haben bereits nette Familien in Spanien für sich gewonnen, Nune, eine weitere kleine Dame aus dem neugierigen Gewusel, reist im November nach Deutschland zu ihrer Pflegefamilie. Aber Juna und Pipa sitzen im Zwinger und müssen die Welt, die sie so gern erobern würden, weitgehend durch Gitterstäbe betrachten. Noch nehmen es die beiden fröhlichen Mädchen mit Humor und gestalten sich ihre Tage mit gemeinsamen Spielen und dem Warten auf die kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten der Tierschützer. Für junge Hunde wie Juna und Pipa ist das Tierheim aber ein doofer Ort. Wo so ein Teenager eigentlich lernen sollte, wann man mal die Klappe hält, wie man auch mal allein daheimbleibt, wie man brav im Auto sitzt, wie man unbemerkt Schuhe klaut und unschuldig guckt, wenn Löcher in Socken auftauchen, sitzen Juna und Pipa in ihrer viel zu kleinen Blase und fragen sich, wann wohl das nächste Abenteuer auf sie wartet. Sie würden zu gerne eine Familie bespaßen, Kekse abstauben, im Dezember beim Aufbau des Weihnachtsbaums „helfen“ und der gesamten Nachbarschaft das Herz stehlen. Wenn Sie sich in eines unserer Backfischlein schockverliebt haben, wenn Sie aktiv und humorvoll sind, wenn Sie gern draußen sind und darüber hinwegsehen können, dass schnelle Matschpfötchen auch mal Spuren auf Ihrem Teppich und im Auto hinterlassen, kurz, wenn Sie junghundkompatibel sind und viel Zeit haben, Ihrer neuen besten Freundin das Leben zu erklären, dann freuen wir uns sehr darauf, schon bald von Ihnen zu hören!

About Pipa

What life with Pipa looks like

Pipa is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Pipa, answered.

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