Pipi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Breed: Mixed-breed female | Age: Born around 08/2023 “I’ll make the world just as I like it—widdewiddewitt!” Hello, hello, hi there… I’m Pipi! No, I don’t have red pigtails, but I do have lots of freckles… At least that’s what our caregivers here say whenever they look at my pretty face… Maybe that’s exactly why I got my name… I’m a friendly, sporty young dog with short, easy-to-care-for white fur adorned with light-brown spots—but especially on my face, I’ve got loads of tiny little dots that look just like cheerful freckles, totally Pipi Longstocking–style… Together with my amber-colored eyes and white eyelashes, that makes me pretty unmistakable, I’d say… Like my famous namesake, I’m a cheerful girl who goes through life full of curiosity and loves discovering something new every single day… I absolutely adore people! Once I get to know someone, I’m loving, friendly, and thrilled when they pay attention to me and give me some cuddles… With strangers, I can still be a bit shy—especially if they’re men. But don’t worry: If you give me a little time, my curiosity will win out, and I’ll quickly realize that there’s nothing to fear around nice people… I get along great with other dogs, though sometimes I get a bit too excited and forget that smaller dogs don’t always have the same energy level as me. So feel free to show me how to behave politely—I think a visit to dog training school would definitely be a good idea! Also, I still need to learn how to walk nicely on a leash—so far, I’ve mostly been following my own adventure plan. But with patience, understanding, and a few treats, I’m sure I’ll quickly figure out how it works… I was rescued together with many other dogs and was lucky enough to find a cozy bed here, complete with free food and shelter… I’m looking for active people who’d love to explore the world with me, learn new things together, play, cuddle, and create lots of wonderful memories together… I’m searching for people who can look past my little insecurities, give me security, and show me that life still has so many beautiful adventures waiting for us… So if you’ve always dreamed of having your very own Pippi Longstocking—only with four paws instead of two braids—you might just find the perfect companion in me… I’m looking forward to meeting you all! Before I move into my new home, I’ll be spayed, chipped, and vaccinated. If you’d like to adopt me, please get in touch with my foster carers. Female dogs—more information

Rasse: Mischlingshündin Alter: geb. ca. 08/2023 „Ich mach mir die Welt, widdewiddewitt wie sie mir gefällt!“ Halli Hallo Hallöchen… ich bin Pipi! Nein, rote Zöpfe habe ich nicht, aber dafür jede Menge Sommersprossen… Zumindest sagen das unsere Pfleger hier, wenn sie mein hübsches Gesicht anschauen… Womöglich habe ich daher auch meinen Namen bekommen… Ich bin eine freundliche, sportliche junge Hündin mit kurzem, pflegeleichtem weißem Fell, das mit hellbraunen Flecken verziert ist, aber besonders im Gesicht habe ich ganz viele kleine Pünktchen, die aussehen wie fröhliche Sommersprossen, eben ganz Pipi Langstrumpf like… Zusammen mit meinen bernsteinfarbenen Augen und den weißen Wimpern macht mich das wohl ziemlich unverwechselbar… Wie meine berühmte Namensvetterin bin ich ein fröhliches Mädchen, das neugierig durchs Leben geht und am liebsten jeden Tag etwas Neues entdecken möchte… Menschen finde ich grundsätzlich richtig toll… Wenn ich jemanden kenne, bin ich liebevoll, freundlich und freue mich über Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheiten… Bei fremden Menschen bin ich manchmal noch etwas schüchtern, besonders wenn sie männlich sind… Aber keine Sorge: Wenn du mir ein bisschen Zeit gibst, siegt meine Neugier und ich merke schnell, dass man vor netten Menschen keine Angst haben muss… Mit den anderen Hunden komme ich gut zurecht… Manchmal bin ich allerdings etwas zuuu begeistert und vergesse, dass kleinere Hunde nicht immer dieselbe Energie haben wie ich… Da darfst du mir gerne noch zeigen, wie man sich höflich benimmt… ich denke ein Besuch in der Hundeschule wäre da sicher nicht verkehrt… Außerdem muss ich noch lernen, ordentlich an der Leine zu laufen… Bisher habe ich nämlich eher nach meinem eigenen Abenteuerplan gehandelt… Mit Geduld, Verständnis und ein paar Leckerchen werde ich aber bestimmt schnell verstehen, wie das funktioniert… Ich wurde gemeinsam mit vielen anderen Hunden gerettet und konnte hier eine Schlafkoje mit freier Kost und Logis ergattern… Ich wünsche mir aktive Menschen, die Lust haben, mit mir die Welt zu entdecken, mit mir zu lernen, zu spielen, zu kuscheln und gemeinsam viele schöne Erinnerungen zu sammeln… Ich suche Menschen, die über meine kleinen Unsicherheiten hinwegsehen, mir Sicherheit geben und mir zeigen, dass das Leben noch viele schöne Abenteuer bereithält… Wer also schon immer von einer eigenen Pippi Langstrumpf geträumt hat – nur mit vier Pfoten statt zwei Zöpfen – könnte in mir die perfekte Begleiterin finden… Ich freue mich auf Euch… Bevor ich in mein neues Zuhause reise, werde ich noch kastriert, gechipt und geimpft. Wer mich adoptieren möchte, wende sich bitte an meine Vermittler . Hündinnen Weitere Informationen

About Pipi

What life with Pipi looks like

Pipi is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Traurige Hundeherzen e.V. in Hamburg.

An young 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 Pipi, answered.

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