Seppi

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

Seppi had no easy puppyhood. He and his four siblings were surrendered by their owner to a kill shelter due to illness and lack of funds for veterinary care. In this facility, dogs are euthanized only when all spots are filled. Therefore, the operators turned to Ancsa, who agreed to fund the medical care and take the puppies in after their recovery. The five puppies suffered from parvovirus, a severe and often fatal disease. Despite intensive treatment, only two of the puppies survived - Seppi and his sister Penny. Seppi patiently endured many infusions and injections and recovered fully. Seppi is now fully vaccinated and moved to the animal shelter with his sister. At first, everything was new and a bit scary, but he has now gained trust in his caregiver. Seppi has not yet had much experience. In his new life, many things will be unfamiliar and some will be frightening. Then Seppi needs people who can give him security and lead him confidently. We would like to find him a home in a quiet residential area, preferably with a garden where he can relieve himself for the first time. Children should be a bit older and be able to deal with a young, insecure dog with empathy. Due to the intensive care during his illness, Seppi is used to people - initially reserved, but friendly and very approachable once he has gained trust. Who will give Seppi a loving home and show him how beautiful life can be?

Seppi hatte keine schöne Welpenzeit. Zusammen mit seinen vier Geschwistern wurde er in krankem Zustand vom Besitzer in einer Tötungsstation abgegeben – für Tierarztkosten war kein Geld da. In dieser Einrichtung werden Hunde nur dann getötet, wenn alle Plätze belegt sind. Deshalb wandten sich die Betreiber an Ancsa, die sich bereiterklärte, die medizinische Versorgung zu finanzieren und die Welpen nach ihrer Genesung zu übernehmen. Die fünf Hundekinder litten an Parvovirose, einer schweren und oft tödlichen Erkrankung. Trotz intensiver Behandlung überlebten nur zwei der Welpen – Seppi und seine Schwester Penny. Seppi hat geduldig die vielen Infusionen und Spritzen ertragen und wurde wieder ganz gesund. Mittlerweile ist Seppi vollständig geimpft und durfte gemeinsam mit seiner Schwester ins Tierheim umziehen. Anfangs war alles neu und ein wenig beängstigend, doch inzwischen hat er Vertrauen zu seiner Bezugsperson gefasst. Seppi hat bisher nur wenig kennengelernt. Im neuen Leben wird anfangs vieles unbekannt und manches auch ängstigend sein. Dann braucht Seppi Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit vermitteln und ihn souverän führen. Wir wünschen uns für ihn ein Zuhause in einer eher ruhigen Wohnlage, gerne mit Garten, in dem er sich die erste Zeit lösen darf. Kinder sollten, wenn, schon etwas älter sein und einfühlsam mit einem jungen, unsicheren Hund umgehen können. Durch die intensive Pflege während seiner Erkrankung ist Seppi Menschen gewohnt – anfangs zurückhaltend, aber freundlich und sehr zugewandt, sobald er Vertrauen gefasst hat. Wer schenkt Seppi ein liebevolles Zuhause und zeigt ihm, wie schön das Leben sein kann?

About Seppi

What life with Seppi looks like

Seppi is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Fellfreunde e.V. in Solingen.

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. 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 Seppi, answered.

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