Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 11 years

Dear senior dog friends, we’re Pixi—the little scruffy mouse—and Fips—the little chubby one—and we ended up at the animal shelter through the official veterinarian. Our human companion’s health was no longer very good. We two are inseparable and have spent our entire lives together, and we’d like it to stay that way. I, Pixi, am 11 years old and in rather poor health—suffering from heart and eye problems. And yes, you’re right—you can see it clearly: I’m actually one-eyed, and unfortunately, my other eye isn’t quite right anymore either. My best friend Fips is 14 years old and already has quite a few tumors—on his eye, on his elbows, and more. Nevertheless, after a short adjustment period, we’ve become very friendly and loving dogs, and perhaps there’s still someone out there who’d like to offer both of us a forever home.

Liebe Seniorenfreunde, wir heißen Pixi( die kleine struwwelige Maus) und Fips ( der kleine dicke) und kamen über den Amtstierarzt ins Tierheim, unserem Frauchen ging es gesundheitlich wohl nicht mehr so gut. Wir beide sind unzertrennlich und haben unser bisheriges Leben auch miteinander verbracht und das soll auch bitte so bleiben. Ich, die Pixi, bin 11 Jahre alt und bin gesundheitlich ziemlich angeschlagen, mit Herz-und Augenerkrankung und ja, Sie sehen richtig, ich bin wirklich einäugig und leider ist auch mein zweites Auge nicht mehr ganz in Ordnung. Meine bester Freund Fips ist 14 Jahre alt und hat dafür schon einiges an Tumoren am Auge, an den Ellenbogen usw..Nichtsdestotrotz sind wir nach einer gewissen Eingewöhnungszeit ganz umgängliche und liebe Hunde und vielleicht findet sich noch jemand, der uns Beiden ein Zuhause bieten möchte.

About Weiterlesen

What life with Weiterlesen looks like

Weiterlesen is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Wesendahl in Wesendahl.

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. 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 Weiterlesen, answered.

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