Bilbo

Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Bilbo is a 5-year-old, approximately 60 cm tall, hunting dog mix who is people-oriented. We urgently seek a foster home or forever home for Bilbo. Bilbo was rescued from a Romanian government euthanasia program and placed in a private shelter where he is safe and cared for, but extremely unhappy because he wants to be with his human. He misses the closeness and everything a dog like Bilbo needs. Therefore, he is extremely unhappy and barely eats due to his sadness. Upon request, we can provide videos showing how much Bilbo loves people and wants to please them. He has already been medically checked and is healthy and fit, except for mild arthritis symptoms that are unfortunately normal due to his history. Who has a heart for our Bilbo and is willing to give him a chance??? We are looking for people who are active and enjoy walking their dog in the woods and countryside. People who know what a hunting dog mix needs in terms of exercise. It is not much, but light nose work already makes him happy. Bilbo expects nothing. We are looking for people with patience and love! Because he is a dog from animal welfare who did not get to know much. But whoever is looking for a treasure on four legs and can imagine Bilbo in their life, please contact CorCanis Büchner.

About Bilbo

What life with Bilbo looks like

Bilbo is a adult dog waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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 Bilbo, answered.

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