Poppins

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Poppins came to the animal shelter with his mother Mary. While Mary has already found a lovely home, Poppins is still waiting for his chance. He had already found a family in Spain, but unfortunately, he was returned to the animal shelter after just one day – with the incredible justification that he had brought dirt from the garden into the house after playing. In reality, Poppins is a cheerful, playful, and extremely lovable puppy. He is full of energy and spends his entire day running around, trying new things, and exploring the world around him. His curiosity knows no bounds – every new corner, every unknown sound, and every exciting scent is examined closely. He is very clingy with people, especially. In the mornings, he is almost inseparable from Eric, as he loves to follow him everywhere. Eric takes a lot of time for him, playing with him and teaching him small tricks that Poppins learns with great enthusiasm. He also enjoys walks, although he still needs to practice walking calmly on the leash. But with his curious and open nature, he will surely master it quickly. Poppins is on the lookout for an active family that shares his zest for life and explores the world together with him. He needs people who enjoy teaching him the basics of being a dog and patiently showing him how wonderful life as a family dog can be. Whoever gives him a loving home will receive a loyal, lively companion who enriches every day with his charm and enthusiasm.

Poppins kam zusammen mit seiner Mutter Mary ins Tierheim. Während Mary bereits ein schönes Zuhause gefunden hat, wartet Poppins noch immer auf seine Chance. Dabei hatte er bereits eine Familie in Spanien gefunden, doch leider wurde er nach nur einem Tag wieder ins Tierheim zurückgebracht – mit der unglaublichen Begründung, dass er nach dem Spielen im Garten Dreck ins Haus gebracht hatte. Dabei ist Poppins ein fröhlicher, verspielter und äußerst liebenswerter Welpe. Er steckt voller Energie und verbringt den ganzen Tag damit, herumzutollen, neue Dinge auszuprobieren und die Welt um sich herum zu entdecken. Seine Neugier kennt keine Grenzen – jede neue Ecke, jedes unbekannte Geräusch und jeder spannende Geruch wird genau unter die Lupe genommen. Besonders Menschen gegenüber zeigt er sich sehr anhänglich. Morgens ist er kaum von Eric zu trennen, denn er liebt es, ihm überallhin zu folgen. Eric nimmt sich viel Zeit für ihn, spielt mit ihm und bringt ihm kleine Tricks bei, die Poppins mit großer Begeisterung lernt. Auch Spaziergänge mag er sehr, allerdings muss er noch ein wenig üben, entspannt an der Leine zu laufen. Doch mit seiner neugierigen und aufgeschlossenen Art wird er das sicher schnell meistern. Poppins ist auf der Suche nach einer aktiven Familie, die seine Lebensfreude teilt und mit ihm gemeinsam die Welt entdeckt. Er braucht Menschen, die Spaß daran haben, ihm das Hunde-Einmaleins beizubringen und ihm geduldig zeigen, wie schön das Leben als Familienhund sein kann. Wer ihm ein liebevolles Zuhause schenkt, bekommt einen treuen, lebensfrohen Begleiter, der jeden Tag mit seinem Charme und seiner Begeisterung bereichert.

About Poppins

What life with Poppins looks like

Poppins is a small puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Pur e.V. in Kettershausen.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Poppins, answered.

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