Pippin

Dachshund · Male · Puppy · 10 months

Pippin is quite clever for his age. Despite his short dachshund legs, he is incredibly fast and agile, always up for a joke or mischief. The young male has not had much experience so far but is becoming bolder every day and trying new things. He gets along very well with other dogs and would also be suitable as a second dog. He loves people and is easily persuaded. Pippin is a cheerful, young dog who cannot deny his hunting instincts. He is full of energy, curious, playful and active, he loves walks and would love to work with his nose. He does not yet know any commands, but he does not like being left alone at the moment, although he learns quickly and willingly. We are looking for active people who enjoy teaching a young dog everything important.

DE·Show original

Ziemlich faustdick hinter den Ohren hat es der kleine Pippin. Trotz seinen kurzen Dackelfüßchen ist er unglaublich schnell und flink, stets für jeden Quatsch und Schabernack zu haben. Der junge Rüde hat bisher nicht viel kennen gelernt, wird aber jeden Tag mutiger und probiert auch neue Dinge aus. Mit anderen Hunden sehr gut verträglich, wäre er auch als Zweithund geeignet. Menschen findet er super, bestechlich ist er noch dazu. Pippin ist ein fröhlicher, junger Hund, der den Jagdhundanteil in sich aber nicht leugnen kann. Er ist voller Tatendrang, neugierig, verspielt und aktiv, Spaziergänge findet er super, mit der Nase arbeiten zu dürfen wäre sein Traum. Signale kennt er noch keine, alleine bleiben mag er im Moment noch nicht, dafür lernt er schnell und gerne. Für Pippin suchen wir aktive Menschen, die Spass haben einem jungen Hunde alles wichtige beizubringen.

About Pippin

What life with Pippin looks like

Pippin is a small puppy/kitten dachshund dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Reutlingen in Reutlingen.

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 Pippin, answered.

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