How do I contact the shelter about Atimus?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Atimus on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Atimus if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken 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 Atimus 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 Atimus 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 Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken early rather than rehoming privately; they know Atimus 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.

Atimus

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Senior · 9 years

Atimus is seeking his special home Atimus comes from poor husbandry and has therefore learned to cautiously observe his environment. Trust does not come immediately – but those who give him time and patience will be rewarded with a loyal companion. On the leash, Atimus is well manageable. In unfamiliar situations, however, he shows insecurity and suspicion. He needs people who can read his body language and provide him with security without pressuring him. For Atimus, we wish for a home with sovereign, dog-experienced people who can offer him a consistent, secure, and at the same time loving guidance. The trust-building must happen at his own pace – pressure is misplaced here. A quiet home without children is important for Atimus. He is compatible with female dogs by sympathy. Whoever gives Atimus the time to get to know him will experience how cautiousness slowly grows into trust – and from that, a very special bond emerges. Whoever wishes to meet Atimus, please send an email to:

About Atimus

What life with Atimus looks like

Atimus is a senior mixed breed cat dog waiting at Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken in Saarbrücken.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
