How do I contact the shelter about Pixi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Pixi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Pixi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Freund fürs Leben 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 Pixi 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 Pixi 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pixi 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.

Pixi

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

♀, born around 9/2024 - friendly - social - affectionate In Bulgaria Private Rehoming/Rehoming Assistance Pixie is a mixed-breed female dog, born around 9/2024, with a shoulder height of about 32 cm and a weight of about 8 kg. Pixie was simply abandoned – and ended up where survival is a struggle: at a market. She wandered among people, noise, and smells, begging for food and hoping with every glance that someone would notice her. Fortunately, someone did: a vegetable vendor couldn't look away, secured Pixie, and informed our animal rescuer. This marked the beginning of Pixie's journey out of hardship. What is most touching is that despite everything, Pixie has not lost her trust. She is very trusting, seeks human closeness, and shows herself to be simply loving and friendly – as if she has already decided to believe in the good. Those who meet her immediately sense that Pixie wants to belong, to finally arrive, to finally feel "at home." She is also easy-going with other dogs: she is compatible with fellow animals and brings excellent qualities – whether as an only princess or a second dog. We wish for Pixie to find people who can show her that she will never again have to beg for a bite or attention. A home that provides her with security, brings patience for all new things – and gives her what she so deserves: lasting love. Pixie will be vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped before being rehomed and is currently waiting for her big chance at happiness in a holding facility in Sofia/Bulgaria. The adoption fee for Pixie is 580 Euros. Would you like to offer Pixie a suitable home? Then please contact us using the following contact form. ©2022 by Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V.. Created with Wix.

♀, geb. ca. 9/2024freundlich - sozial - anhänglichin 15517 Fürstenwalde Pixi ist eine ca. 9/2024 geborene Mischlingshündin mit einer Schulterhöhe von ca. 32 cm. und einem Gewicht von ca. 8 kg. Pixi wurde einfach ausgesetzt – und landete dort, wo man ums Überleben kämpft: auf einem Markt. Zwischen Menschen, Lärm und Gerüchen lief sie umher, bettelte nach Essen und hoffte bei jedem Blick, dass jemand sie sieht. Zum Glück tat es jemand: Ein Gemüsehändler konnte nicht wegschauen, sicherte Pixi und informierte unsere Tierschützerin. So begann für Pixi der Weg raus aus der Not. Was dabei am meisten berührt: Pixi hat trotz allem ihr Vertrauen nicht verloren. Sie ist sehr zutraulich, sucht die Nähe zum Menschen und zeigt sich einfach nur lieb und freundlich – als hätte sie längst entschieden, dass sie an das Gute glauben möchte. Wer ihr begegnet, spürt sofort: Pixi will dazugehören, endlich ankommen, endlich „zu Hause“ sein. Auch mit anderen Hunden ist Pixi unkompliziert: Sie ist verträglich mit Artgenossen und bringt damit beste Voraussetzungen mit – ob als Einzelprinzessin oder als Zweithund. Für Pixi wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihr zeigen, dass sie nie wieder um einen Bissen oder um Aufmerksamkeit bitten muss. Ein Zuhause, das ihr Sicherheit gibt, Geduld für alles Neue mitbringt – und ihr das schenkt, was sie so sehr verdient: Liebe, die bleibt. Pixi wird geimpft, kastriert und gechipt vermittelt und wartet in einer Pflegestelle in 15517 Fürstenwalde. Die Schutzgebühr für Pixi beträgt 480 Euro. Sie möchten Pixi ein passendes Zuhause bieten?

About Pixi

What life with Pixi looks like

Pixi is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

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.
