Pityu

Chihuahua · Male · Senior · 9 years

This is our little newcomer Pitu, a male Chihuahua mix. He is currently living in a shelter in Hungary and is looking for his family in Germany. Pitu grew up in a very low-stimulation and isolated environment and knew nothing else when he came to the shelter in 2021. Pitu is initially unsure and mistrustful of strangers. With people he trusts, he is very cuddly and affectionate. He gets along with other dogs, is not excessively active, and barks when he feels insecure. We are looking for a home for Pitu in a rural setting, as he can already walk on a leash carefully there. He is not familiar with urban environments, and cyclists, cars, etc. are new to him. He also does not yet know life in a house and is presumably not house-trained, which is why we are looking for a patient home with plenty of time and understanding in a rural area, ideally with a garden that is secure against escape. Because of his insecurity, and the fact that he might nip if he feels pressured, we wish for him a home with a retiree without children, who can offer lots of love and patience and has few demands on Pitu. Pitu had heartworms when he came to the shelter, which were successfully treated. Today he has no health restrictions. In early January 2025, dental treatment was also carried out. Is there such a home for sweet Pitu? Pitu was born in November 2017. He is neutered, has a shoulder height of 25 cm, and weighs approximately 5 kg. He is welcome to join a second dog in the household. Since Pitu is a rescue dog, he will only be placed into the very best hands after a prior home inspection, a surrender contract, and payment of an administration fee.

Das ist unser kleiner Neuzugang Pitu, ein Chihuahuamixrüde. Er lebt zur Zeit in einem Tierheim in Ungarn und sucht seine Familie in Deutschland. Pitu wuchs sehr reizarm und abgeschieden auf und kannte nichts als er 2021 ins Tierheim kam. Pitu ist anfangs unsicher, misstrauisch bei Fremden. Bei Vertrauenspersonen ist er sehr anschmiegsam und liebevoll. Er verträgt sich mit seinen Artgenossen, ist nicht übertrieben aktiv, er bellt bei Unsicherheit. Wir suchen für Pitu ein Zuhause in ländlicher Umgebung, da kann er nämlich auch schon vorsichtig an der Leine gehen. Er kennt keine städtische Umgebung, Radfahrer, Autos ect. sind neu für ihn. Auch das Leben im Haus kennt er noch nicht, ist vermutlich nicht stubenrein, deshalb suchen wir ein geduldiges Zuhause mit viel Zeit und Verständnis in ländlicher Umgebung mit ausbrichsucheren Garten wäre ideal Aufgrund seiner Unsicherheit und der Tatsache dass er vielleicht zwicken würde wenn er bedrängt wird wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei einer Rentnerin ohne Kinder, die viel Liebe und Geduld und wenig Anforderungen an Pitu hat. Pitu hatte Herzwürmer als er ins Tierheim kam die aber erfolgreich behandelt wurden. Er hat heute keine gesundheitlichen Einschränkungen mehr. Anfang Januar 2025 wurde auch eine Zahnsanierung durchgeführt. Gibt es so ein Zuhause für den süßen Pitu? Pitu ist geboren im November 2017. Er ist kastriert und hat eine Schulterhöhe von 25cm, sein Gewicht ist ca. 5kg Er kann gerne zu einem Zweithund einziehen. Da Pitu ein Tierschutzhund ist wird er nur mit vorheriger Platzkontrolle, Abgabevertrag und Zahlung einer Aufwandsentschädigung in die allerbesten Hände abgegeben.

About Pityu

What life with Pityu looks like

Pityu is a very small senior chihuahua dog waiting at Hunderettung Kasachstan e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Pityu, answered.

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