Pippa

Border Collie · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Pippa is a spayed female dog, approximately 45 cm, estimated to be 3-4 years old. She comes from an animal hoarding case and has not known much. She was allowed to experience life in a family with children, other dogs and cats. Pippa is a very affectionate little dog who currently cannot stay alone for long. She bonds very strongly with her human. She lives with us in a larger dog group, which causes her stress. She would rather be a single princess. Children and cats are no problem for her. If you are looking for an active and loyal companion - then please get in touch.

Pippa ist eine kastrierte Hündin, ca 45 cm, die auf 3-4 Jahre geschätzt wird. Sie kommt aus einem Animal Hoarding Fall und kannte nicht viel. Sie durfte das Leben in einer Familie mit Kindern, anderen Hunden und Katzen kennenlernen. Pippa ist eine total verschmuste kleine Hündin, die aktuell noch nicht gut alleine bleiben kann. Sie bindet sich sehr stark an ihren Menschen. Bei uns lebt sie in einer größeren Hundegruppe, welche ihr allerdings Stress bereitet. Lieber wäre sie Einzelprinzessin. Kinder und Katzen sind für sie kein Problem. Wenn du also eine aktive und treue Begleiterin suchst - dann melde dich gern.

About Pippa

What life with Pippa looks like

Pippa is a young adult border collie dog waiting at Tierfreunde im Fläming e.V. in Germany.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Pippa, answered.

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