Tilly's sweet puppies are looking for a new home in Braunschweig!

In Braunschweig, the fate of the dog Tilly and her five puppies touched the hearts of many animal lovers. Tilly, who was found without an owner in Weststadt in August 2025, is a true fighter. Braunschweig Animal Welfare, which has been researching Tilly's origins ever since, quickly discovered that the dog was pregnant and gave birth to five healthy puppies on September 3rd. To date, Tilly's owner has not been located, which makes the search for a home for the puppies all the more urgent. News38 reports that the little four-legged friends are now ready to move into a loving new home.

The puppies are now six weeks old and weigh between three and four kilograms. The father's breed is unknown, but it is believed that he could be a Border Collie or an Australian Shepherd. The Braunschweig animal shelter is now accepting requests for the puppies and anyone interested can contact the home by email to arrange a visit. The delivery of the sociable rascals is scheduled for mid-November 2025. Anyone interested in one of the five puppies should also include a brief description of their living conditions in their message to help animal rights activists choose the right new home T-Online emphasizes.

Puppies are looking for a home

Interest in keeping pets is extremely high in Germany: almost every second household has a pet. According to Statista, around 15.7 million cats lived in German households in 2023, while dogs were a certain distance behind. Many Germans view their pets as important family members who also act as sources of comfort in difficult times. Around two thirds of pet owners don't want to be without their pets on vacation, so family or friends usually look after the animals when they are away. But financing also plays a role: pets not only bring joy, but also a certain amount of effort and costs. On average, dogs incur higher running costs than cats, also due to the necessary walks and veterinary visits.

The demand for pets has changed in recent years. After a boom during the corona pandemic, when many people turned to new furry roommates, it has declined. Nevertheless, interest in adoption is still high - around 35% of pet owners choose an animal from an animal shelter. Maybe now is the right time to give one of Tilly's little puppies a new home and become part of this growing community of dedicated animal lovers.

The doors of the Braunschweig animal shelter are open to anyone who would like to support Tilly and her puppies. Don't hesitate to show your good hand and offer these little creatures a loving home! Take the opportunity and get in touch to arrange a visit. Statista also offers comprehensive information about pet ownership in Germany and the challenges it poses.
