Puchi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Previous history: On the scorching heat in August 2025, WEACT received an urgent call for help. Two dogs were tied outside with metal chains and suffering from the brutal temperatures. One of the dogs was in critical condition - he could no longer support his own weight, as his belly was swollen with fluid and maggots had infested his body - while his companion, Puchi, could only helplessly watch his friend suffer. WEACT arrived in time to save both, but despite our efforts, Puchi's friend did not make it. In his last moments, it felt like he was entrusting us with his beloved companion. Today, Puchi's eyes radiate trust and love. He deserves a family that simply appreciates who he is - and we believe that this family is out there, waiting to find him. Character description: With people: Puchi may be a bit awkward at first with human touch, but he opens up quickly and wags his tail to welcome you. Once he becomes accustomed to people, he doesn't hesitate to approach them to get cuddles and treats! With dogs: Puchi gets along great with other dogs! He sniffs them and initiates play. He loves to run and play outside with his dog friends. Travel sick (car): yes Crate / Kennel training: yes house-trained: prefers to do his business outside Walks: In progress - Puchi is currently learning to walk on a leash. He does very well, even with strangers! While walking, he is quite curious and likes to sniff around. Sounds from cars outside don't seem to bother him. Energy level: High Barks: no General personality: Puchi is a natural explorer with insatiable curiosity. In the yard, he will spend the entire time investigating every corner with his nose to the ground. In a new environment, he doesn't panic, but walks around confidently. He explores various places until he finds one that suits him. Puchi is a brave, adventurous spirit who embraces the unknown and thrives, discovering new experiences in this big world. Cat friendly / compatible with cats? [ ] Yes [ ] No [ x ] Unknown Dog friendly / compatible with other dogs? [ x ] Yes [ ] No [ ] Unknown Vaccinated / vaccinated?: [ x ] Yes [ ] No Special features: Likes: Treats, playing in the garden Dislikes: Sudden approaches, being confined Health: Puchi is generally healthy. He tested positive for heartworms, but has completed his treatment. His injury treatment is also complete, although some scars may remain. Living situation: Can live in an apartment, but a single-family home would be better Can live with another dog - ideally with a calm dog from whom Puchi can learn, but he also does well as a single dog Ideal family: For Puchi, it doesn't matter if his new home is an apartment or a house. What he needs most is a family committed to frequent walks and adventures so this freedom-loving dog can experience all the joys and discoveries he missed during his years tethered. A family that keeps him cool in the summer and warm in the winter, so the painful memories of being tied outside fade away. With so much love, Puchi will be the happiest dog in the world.

Vorgeschichte / previous history: In der sengenden Hitze im August 2025 erhielt WEACT einen dringenden Hilferuf. Zwei Hunde waren draußen mit Metallketten angebunden und litten unter den brutalen Temperaturen. Einer der Hunde war in kritischem Zustand – er konnte sein eigenes Gewicht nicht mehr tragen, da sein Bauch mit Flüssigkeit angeschwollen war und Maden seinen Körper befallen hatten – während sein Gefährte, Puchi, nur hilflos zusehen konnte, wie sein Freund litt. WEACT kam rechtzeitig, um beide zu retten, doch trotz unserer Bemühungen schaffte es Puchis Freund nicht. In seinen letzten Momenten fühlte es sich an, als würde er uns seinen geliebten Gefährten anvertrauen. Heute strahlen Puchis Augen Vertrauen und Liebe aus. Er verdient eine Familie, die ihn einfach dafür schätzt, wer er ist – und wir glauben, dass diese Familie da draußen ist und darauf wartet, ihn zu finden. Charakterbeschreibung / character description: Mit Menschen: Puchi ist anfangs vielleicht etwas unbeholfen im Umgang mit menschlicher Berührung, aber er öffnet sich schnell und wedelt mit dem Schwanz, um dich willkommen zu heißen. Wenn er sich an Menschen gewöhnt hat, zögert er nicht, selbst auf sie zuzugehen, um Streicheleinheiten und Leckerlis zu bekommen! Mit Hunden: Puchi versteht sich großartig mit anderen Hunden! Er schnuppert an ihnen und initiiert Spiel. Er liebt es, draußen mit seinen Hundefreunden zu rennen und zu spielen. Reisekrank (Auto): ja Boxen- / Kenneltraining: ja Stubenrein: bevorzugt es, draußen sein Geschäft zu erledigen Spaziergänge: In Arbeit – Puchi übt derzeit das Laufen an der Leine. Er macht das sehr gut, sogar mit fremden Menschen! Beim Spazierengehen ist er ziemlich neugierig und schnüffelt gern herum. Außengeräusche von Autos scheinen ihn nicht zu stören. Energielevel: Hoch Bellt: nein Allgemeine Persönlichkeit: Puchi ist ein natürlicher Entdecker mit unstillbarer Neugier. Im Auslauf wird er die ganze Zeit damit verbringen, jede Ecke mit der Nase am Boden zu untersuchen. In einer neuen Umgebung gerät er nicht in Panik, sondern läuft selbstbewusst umher. Er erkundet verschiedene Plätze, bis er einen findet, der für ihn passt. Puchi ist ein mutiger, abenteuerlustiger Geist, der das Unbekannte annimmt und darin aufblüht, neue Erfahrungen in dieser großen Welt zu entdecken. Katzenverträglich / compatible with cats? [ ] Ja / yes [ ] Nein / no [ x ] unbekannt / unknown Mit anderen Hunden verträglich / compatible with other dogs? [ x ] Ja / yes [ ] Nein / no [ ] unbekannt / unknown Geimpft / vaccinated?: [ x ] Ja / yes [ ] Nein / no esonderheiten / special features: Mag: Leckerlis, im Garten spielen Mag nicht: plötzliche Annäherungen, eingesperrt sein Gesundheit: Puchi ist insgesamt gesund. Er wurde positiv auf Herzwürmer getestet, hat jedoch seine Behandlung dafür abgeschlossen. Auch die Behandlung seiner Verletzungen ist abgeschlossen, einige Narben können jedoch zurückbleiben.Lebenssituation: Kann in einer Wohnung leben, ein Einfamilienhaus wäre jedoch besser Kann mit einem anderen Hund zusammenleben – idealerweise mit einem ruhigen Hund, von dem Puchi lernen kann, aber er kommt auch gut als Einzelhund zurechtIdeale Familie: Für Puchi spielt es keine Rolle, ob sein neues Zuhause eine Wohnung oder ein Haus ist. Was er am meisten braucht, ist eine Familie, die sich zu häufigen Spaziergängen und Abenteuern verpflichtet, damit dieser freiheitsliebende Hund all die Freuden und Entdeckungen erleben kann, die er während seiner Jahre in Anbindung verpasst hat. Eine Familie, die ihn im Sommer kühl hält und im Winter wohlig warm, sodass die schmerzhaften Erinnerungen daran, draußen angekettet gewesen zu sein, verblassen. Mit so viel Liebe wird Puchi der glücklichste Hund der Welt sein.

About Puchi

What life with Puchi looks like

Puchi is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at German Hands meet Korean Paws e.V. in Ebstorf.

An 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 Puchi, answered.

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