Teddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 9 months

New photos from 30. 08. 2026 Text and photos from 29. 05. 2026 Tabea and her little brother Teddy were probably born around the beginning of February. Judging by their size, they should reach a shoulder height of a good 55 cm and weigh roughly 18–20 kg once grown. An acquaintance found them in the trash and called me in desperation. It was already evening, and I had to go back to the vet, so I agreed to take the two in but said we'd do it the next day. The poor thing spent a solid 3 hours by the trash until she finally managed to catch both of them. With her hands badly bitten, she brought both puppies to me the next morning. Honestly, I wasn't thrilled about the two little psycho wrecks, but you can't pick and choose who needs help. At least that's how I see it. And the reward came quickly: after two days of isolation, the two had thawed out enough that I could carry them over to my dachshunds Scooter & Co. In their company, things went even faster. Teddy is now hardly possible to shake off and loves hanging onto my trouser leg with his milk teeth. Tabea does the same, but she's a little more shy. Both now enjoy being petted all over their bodies, and I can honestly say they've been a real joy to have around. Still, I hope they'll find their own little place during the course of June.

Neue Bilder vom 10. 11. 2026 Neue Bilder vom 30. 08. 2026 Text und Bilder vom 29. 05. 2026 Tabea mit Brüderchen Teddy müssten in etwa Anfang Februar zur Welt gekommen sein. Schätzungsweise bekommen sie eine Schulterhöhe von gut 55cm und werden einmal rund 18-20kg wiegen. Eine Bekannte fand sie am Müll und rief mich verzweifelt an. Es war schon Abend und ich musste nochmal zum Tierarzt. Insofern sagte ich zwar zu, die Beiden aufzunehmen, das Ganze aber erst am nächsten Tag. So verbrachte die Arme geschlagene 3 Stunden am Müll, bis sie die zwei zu packen bekam. Mit verdammt zerbissenen Händen brachte sie beide Welpen am nächsten Morgen zu mir. Ehrlich gesagt war ich über die zwei Psychowracks nicht begeistert, aber man kann sich schließlich nicht aussuchen, wer Hilfe braucht. So zumindest sehe ich das. Dafür kam rasch die Belohnung. Nach zwei Tagen Isolation waren die Beiden zumindest so weit aufgetaut, dass ich sie zu meinen Dackelchen Scooter & Co tragen konnte. In deren Gesellschaft ging es dann noch schneller. Teddy ist mittlerweile kaum mehr abzuschütteln und hängt sich gerne mit seinen Milchzähnchen in mein Hosenbein. Tabea tut es ihm gleich, ist aber minimal schüchterner. Beide lassen sich inzwischen gerne am ganzen Körper anfassen und ich kann sagen, dass sie mir richtig Spaß gemacht haben. Dennoch hoffe ich, dass sie im Laufe des Junis ihr eigenes Plätzchen finden werden.

About Teddy

What life with Teddy looks like

Teddy 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 Teddy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Teddy?
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 Teddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Teddy 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 Teddy 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 Teddy 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 Teddy 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.
