Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Pippa – schüchterne Seele sucht einfühlsames Zuhause 🐾 Name: Pippa Rasse: Mischling Geboren: 30.08.2024 Geschlecht: weiblich Kastriert: Ja Größe: ca. 50–55 cm Pippa zeigt sich momentan noch recht zurückhaltend. Das ist nicht verwunderlich, denn bisher kannte sie in Rumänien nur ihre Pflegefamilie und das vertraute Grundstück. Alles, was ein Hund im Alltag erlebt, muss sie nun nach und nach kennenlernen. Andere Hunde findet Pippa toll und zeigt sich ihnen gegenüber sehr verträglich. Ob sie mit Katzen oder Kindern zurechtkommt, können wir derzeit noch nicht einschätzen. Pippa braucht Menschen, die ihr mit Ruhe und Geduld begegnen und ihr Sicherheit vermitteln, ohne sie zu bedrängen. Ein Zuhause mit viel Verständnis und dem nötigen Fingerspitzengefühl wäre ideal, damit sie Vertrauen aufbauen und endlich richtig ankommen kann. Wer ihr diese Chance gibt, kann sie auf ihrem Weg in ein neues Leben begleiten.

About Pippa

What life with Pippa looks like

Pippa is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Ahlen in Ahlen.

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. Tierheim Ahlen 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 — Tierheim Ahlen 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 Tierheim Ahlen 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.
