New photos from 30.08.2026. Text and photos from 13.05.2026. The dachshund kids Scooter and Scotty were born around January, together with their sister Kitty. The two boys will stay quite short-legged and reach roughly 35–40 cm at the shoulder. Kitty is more delicate, but longer-legged, and will reach about 45 cm at the shoulder. The final weight for all of them should settle at around 16 kg. These sweet puppies have three more brothers who are also still looking for a home. They still live in southeast Crete, though, and I don't know them yet. After their mother was poisoned on the street, a woman took the little ones in. Because I currently have no space, I initially took only the three of them from her. The skin may not look so nice in the photos, which may be hard to see, but it will improve. The three are extremely sweet. Of course they tease me a little as soon as I enter the run, which is simply what's expected at that age. But they are also extremely cuddly and very gentle. Furthermore, they took in two more puppies who were brought to me at first very shy, and they helped me find my way to the two of them. Very kindly, they immediately welcomed the two timid ones and showed them not only where to eat, drink, and play, but also that there's no need to be afraid of people. So they are not only my charges, but also diligent little helpers. From the end of the month on, they should be able to make their own family happy.

Neue Bilder vom 30. 08. 2026 Text und Bilder vom13. 05. 2026 Die Dackelkinder Scooter und Scotty, kamen mit Schwester Kitty ungefähr im Januar zur Welt. Die zwei Buben werden recht kurzbeinig bleiben und rund 35-40cm Schulterhöhe erreichen, Kitty ist zwar zierlicher, dafür hochbeiniger und wird ungefähr 45cm Schulterhöhe bekommen. Das Endgewicht bei allen dürfte sich auf circa 16kg einpendeln. Die süßen Hundekinder haben noch weitere drei Brüderchen, die ebenfalls noch ein Zuhause suchen. Diese leben aber noch in Südost- Kreta und ich kenne sie noch nicht. Nachdem ihre Mutter auf der Straße vergiftet wurde, nahm eine Frau die Kleinen zu sich. Wegen momentanem Platzmangel nahm ich ihr erstmal nur die drei ab. Auf den Fotos womöglich gut zu erkennen ist die Haut noch nicht so schön, wird aber noch. Die drei sind ausgesprochen lieb. Klar piesacken sie mich auch ein wenig, sobald ich den Auslauf betrete, das gehört sich schließlich so in dem Alter. Aber sie sind auch extrem verschmust und sehr sanft. Weiterhin nahmen sie sich zwei weiteren Welpen an, die mir zunächst sehr scheu gebracht wurden und halfen mir dabei, Zugang zu den Beiden zu finden. Sehr lieb nahmen sie die zwei Angsthasen sofort auf und zeigten ihnen nicht nur wo gefressen, getrunken und gespielt wird, sondern auch, dass man keine Angst vor Menschen haben muss. Somit sind sie nicht nur meine Schützlinge, sondern auch fleißige Helferchen. Ab Ende des Monats dürften sie ihre eigene Familie glücklich machen.

About Scooter

What life with Scooter looks like

Scooter is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Kreta e.V. in Germany.

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 Scooter, answered.

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