Pipsy

Dachshund · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Pipsy and her puppies lived with a dog breeder. The conditions there were catastrophic. The little family arrived in a very poor condition and severely emaciated at our partner shelter. They were lovingly fattened up and have already recovered well, are healthy and lively. All the puppies have already found homes, only Pipsy is still waiting for her happiness. When meeting strangers, Pipsy initially reacts with suspicion; she is still afraid and barks. Her new home should be dog-experienced and live in a quiet house with a garden without much commotion.

Pipsy und ihre Welpen lebten bei einer Hundesammlerin. Die Zustände dort waren katastrophal. Die kleine Familie kam in einem sehr schlechten Zustand und stark abgemagert in unserem Partnertierheim an. Sie wurden liebevoll aufgepäppelt und haben sich schon gut erholt, sind gesund und munter. Alle Welpen haben bereits ein Zuhause gefunden, nur Pipsy wartet noch auf ihr Glück. Bei fremden Menschen reagiert Pipsy anfangs misstrauisch, sie hat noch Angst und bellt dann. Ihr neues Zuhause sollte hundeerfahren sein und ruhig in einem Haus mit Garten leben, ohne viel Trubel. Kontakt: Anna Bachmann → WhatsApp oder

About Pipsy

What life with Pipsy looks like

Pipsy is a small puppy dachshund dog waiting at Herz für Ungarnhunde e.V. in Nörten-Hardenberg.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Pipsy, answered.

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