Pixie

German Shepherd · Female · Young · 3 years

PixiePixiePixie Back 1 of 3 Before Breed: Retriever-Shepherd Mix Year of Birth: 10.2023 Color: brindle Gender: female Size: medium-sized Spayed/Neutered: yes On her walks, Pixie curiously explores her surroundings and gathers many new impressions with her sensitive nose. Outside the animal shelter, she can still be easily distracted by unfamiliar noises, strange people, or other dogs—after all, there’s still so much for this young dog to discover. Pixie already thoroughly enjoys petting and gratefully accepts it. Sometimes she shows her joy a bit more exuberantly, but with the right guidance, she’ll surely learn to express her affection more calmly. Would you like more information about this dog?

PixiePixiePixie Zurück 1von3 Vor Rasse: Retriever Schäferhund Mischling Geburtsjahr: 10.2023 Farbe: gestromt Geschlecht: weiblich Größe: mittelgroß Kastriert: ja Auf ihren Spaziergängen erkundet Pixie neugierig ihre Umgebung und sammelt mit ihrer feinen Nase viele neue Eindrücke. Außerhalb der Tierherberge lässt sie sich von ungewohnten Geräuschen, fremden Menschen oder anderen Hunden noch leicht ablenken – schließlich gibt es für die junge Hündin noch so viel zu entdecken. Streicheleinheiten genießt Pixie bereits sehr und nimmt sie dankbar an. Manchmal zeigt sie ihre Freude dabei noch etwas stürmisch, doch mit der richtigen Anleitung wird sie sicher lernen, ihre Zuneigung etwas ruhiger zu zeigen. Nähere Informationen zu diesem Hund?

About Pixie

What life with Pixie looks like

Pixie is a young adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierherberge Egelsbach e.V. in Egelsbach.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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. Tierherberge Egelsbach e.V. 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 — Tierherberge Egelsbach 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. 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 Tierherberge Egelsbach e.V. 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.
