Ploppy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 14 years

Ploppy kam wegen Überforderung zu uns ins Tierheim. Der kleine Rüde ist ein aufgewecktes Kerlchen mit einem ordentlichen Dickschädel – er weiß genau, was er will, und zeigt das auch deutlich. Seine „Schätze“ wie Futter oder auch mal das Sofa teilt er nur ungern und verteidigt sie entsprechend. Unterwegs findet er alles spannend –von Essensresten bis hin zu allerlei Fundstücken – und sammelt mit Begeisterung, ganz nach dem Motto: ausspucken kann man ja immer noch.Fremden Menschen gegenüber zeigt sich Ploppy distanziert und sollte von ihnen nicht angefasst werden. Für seine Sicherheit und die seiner Umwelt trägt er daher einen Maulkorb, an den er gewöhnt ist. Mit ausgewählten Hunden aus dem Tierheim geht er gerne spazieren, auch wenn er nicht mit jedem Vierbeiner sympathisiert.Trotz seiner Eigenheiten liebt Ploppy Spaziergänge und genießt es, draußen unterwegs zu sein. Besonders gerne wälzt er sich ausgiebig auf Wiesen. Ein festes Ritual mit seiner Patin ist für ihn ein Highlight: Nach jedem Spaziergang wird er gebürstet – und das genießt er sichtlich.Für Ploppy suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne Kinder, bei selbstbewussten und hundeerfahrenen Menschen, die seine Eigenarten akzeptieren und ihn souverän führen können. Dann zeigt er auch seine liebenswerten Seiten und entwickelt sich zu einem treuen Begleiter mit ganz besonderem Charakter

About Ploppy

What life with Ploppy looks like

Ploppy is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Leverkusen e.V. in Leverkusen.

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 Ploppy, answered.

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