Pipis

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Male Pipis, born around late 2023, stands approximately 49 cm tall at the shoulder and weighs about 11 kg. A loving home is urgently needed for him. Pipis is a cheerful young male dog who, despite his past, has retained his curiosity and good spirits. He’s a rather delicate, athletic dog who quickly wins people over with his open and friendly nature. The young dog was previously involved in a car accident. Unfortunately, he wasn’t properly treated afterward, which led to his injury healing incorrectly. As a result, he currently doesn’t always put weight on his right hind leg. Nevertheless, Pipis hasn’t lost his zest for life and moves through the world with motivation and interest. Pipis shows himself to be joyful, lively, curious, and highly open-minded. Outdoors, he clearly enjoyed gathering new impressions and exploring his surroundings. You can tell how eager he is to finally experience more of life. In his kennel, he settles down wonderfully and loves relaxing on the roof of his doghouse in the sun. He’s a dog who appreciates exploring his environment and then snuggling comfortably with his people on the sofa. It’s important to remember that Pipis has so far lived almost exclusively in animal shelters and has had little opportunity to gain experience outside of them. Almost everything in everyday life is therefore still new to him. He still needs to learn the entire “dog ABC”—from relaxed leash walking and calmness in daily life to confidently handling new situations. Pipis is looking for people who will patiently and lovingly show him what a real home can be like—people who can keep him physically and mentally stimulated yet avoid overwhelming him and give him time to settle in. A home without many stairs would be ideal for him. Ideally, it would have an enclosed garden so he can go straight outside, especially as he gets older and finds it harder to compensate for his disability. Despite everything he’s been through, Pipis has remained a friendly and life-affirming dog who now finally deserves the chance for a better life. ❤️ We do not place dogs in very urban residential areas or in families with small children. Please only submit an adoption application if taking him on is possible at the time specified in the text and if you’ve already discussed welcoming a new family member with your household (including any other involved parties such as employers, landlords, or temporary caregivers). Please note that the dogs described here are currently staying in their foster care facility or animal shelter—in a limited, secure environment—with little contact with other people or environmental stimuli outside the property. These descriptions reflect their behavior in this familiar setting. In particular, puppies and young dogs are still developing their personalities. To help them successfully adjust to a new home, they’ll need time, patience, and loving guidance to get used to their new surroundings and various stimuli and grow into confident dogs.

Rüde Pipis, geboren ca. Ende 2023, Schulterhöhe ca. 49 cm und ca. 11 kg Körpergewicht, Körbchen ab sofort gesucht. Pipis ist ein lebensfroher junger Rüde, der trotz seiner Vergangenheit seine Neugier und gute Laune nicht verloren hat. Er ist ein eher zarter, sportlicher Hund, der mit seiner offenen Art schnell Sympathiepunkte sammelt. Der junge Rüde hatte bereits einen Autounfall. Er wurde danach leider nicht richtig behandelt, wodurch die Verletzung schief verheilt ist. Aktuell belastet er deshalb sein rechtes Hinterbein nicht immer. Trotz allem lässt sich Pipis seine Lebensfreude nicht nehmen und bewegt sich motiviert und interessiert durch die Welt. Pipis zeigt sich fröhlich, lebhaft, neugierig und sehr aufgeschlossen. Draußen hatte er sichtlich Freude daran, neue Eindrücke zu sammeln und seine Umgebung zu erkunden. Man merkt ihm an, wie groß seine Lust ist, endlich mehr vom Leben kennenzulernen. Im Zwinger kommt er prima zur Ruhe und entspannt gerne auf dem Dach seiner Hundehütte in der Sonne. Ein Hund, der es schätzt seine Umgebung zu erkunden und danach gemütlich mit seinen Menschen auf dem Sofa kuschelt. Dabei sollte man nicht vergessen, dass Pipis bislang fast ausschließlich im Tierheim gelebt hat und kaum Erfahrungen außerhalb davon sammeln durfte. Fast alle Dinge des normalen Alltags sind für ihn daher noch neu. Das gesamte Hunde-ABC – von entspannter Leinenführigkeit über Ruhe im Alltag bis hin zum sicheren Umgang mit neuen Situationen – muss er erst noch lernen. Pipis sucht Menschen, die ihm geduldig und liebevoll zeigen, wie schön ein echtes Zuhause sein kann. Menschen, die ihn sowohl körperlich als auch mental auslasten, ihn aber gleichzeitig nicht überfordern und ihm Zeit geben, anzukommen. Für ihn ist ein Zuhause ohne viele Treppen ideal. Am besten ein eingezäunter Garten, damit er direkt raus kann, vor allem wenn er im Alter sein Handicap nicht mehr so gut kompensiert bekommt. Trotz allem, was er erlebt hat, ist Pipis ein freundlicher und lebensbejahender Hund geblieben, der nun endlich die Chance auf ein besseres Leben verdient hat. ❤️ Wir vermitteln nicht in sehr städtische Wohnlage sowie in Familien mit Kleinkindern. Bitte stellen Sie nur eine Adoptionsanfrage, wenn die Übernahme zum im Text genannten Zeitpunkt möglich ist & Sie die Aufnahme eines neuen Familienmitglieds bereits mit Ihrer Familie (ggf. weiteren involvierten Personen wie Arbeitgeber, Vermieter, Zwischenbetreuung) besprochen haben. Bitte beachten Sie, dass sich die hier beschriebenen Hunde derzeit in ihrer Großpflegestelle oder im Tierheim in einer begrenzten, sicheren Umgebung aufhalten und wenig Kontakt zu anderen Menschen oder Umweltreizen außerhalb des Grundstücks haben. Die Beschreibungen basieren auf dem Verhalten in dieser vertrauten Umgebung. Insbesondere Welpen und Junghunde sind zudem noch in der Entwicklung ihres Charakters. Für eine erfolgreiche Eingewöhnung in ein neues Zuhause benötigen sie Zeit, Geduld und liebevolle Anleitung, um sich an die neue Umgebung und die verschiedenen Reize zu gewöhnen und zu sicheren Hunden heranzuwachsen.

About Pipis

What life with Pipis looks like

Pipis is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Kreta Hunde (Tierschutz Heraklion) in Germany.

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 Pipis, answered.

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