Pixie

Chihuahua · Female · Puppy · 2 months

- rassentypisches Temperament - lieb, verschmust - muss noch erzogen werden - verträglich mit Artgenossen - Familienhund - skeptisch bei Fremden Pixie kam als Sicherstellung zu uns ins Tierheim Nun sucht die liebenswürdige Dame ein neues Für-immer-Zuhause. Unsere Pixie ist eine Chihuahua-Dame mit Ecken, Kanten und ganz viel Charme. Fremden Menschen begegnet sie manchmal etwas skeptisch und braucht einen kurzen Moment, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat man ihr Herz jedoch erobert, zeigt sie sich anhänglich, verschmust und genießt die Nähe ihrer Menschen sehr. Wie viele kleine Hunde versucht auch Pixie manchmal, Unsicherheit mit einer großen Stimme zu überspielen. Sie kommentiert das Weltgeschehen gerne lautstark, meint es dabei aber meist deutlich weniger ernst, als es zunächst klingt. Hinter der Fassade steckt keine Draufgängerin, sondern ein sensibles und liebenswertes Hundemädchen. In ihrer Erziehung hat Pixie noch etwas Nachholbedarf und sucht daher Menschen, die ihr mit Geduld, Verständnis und Konsequenz zeigen, dass nicht jede Situation kommentiert werden muss. Wer ihr die nötige Sicherheit gibt, bekommt eine treue Begleiterin, die Streicheleinheiten und gemeinsame Zeit sehr zu schätzen weiß. Mit anderen Hunden ist Pixie grundsätzlich verträglich, aber auch schnell überfordert. Zu einem souveränen Zweithund kann sie aber grundsätzlich vermittelt werden.

About Pixie

What life with Pixie looks like

Pixie is a small puppy/kitten chihuahua dog waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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 Pixie, answered.

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