Billy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Hello, I am Billy! Together with my brother Lucky, we grew up in an animal shelter in Portugal. Not long ago, we set off on a great adventure – it was incredibly exciting! There was so much to see, we experienced so much, and at the end, we suddenly found ourselves in a completely new place where we now live together in a room. Now we are here, surrounded by many new dogs and people. Everything is new and exciting, and sometimes a little scary. That's why I am very happy that my brother Lucky is by my side, because with him, I discover my new environment much more willingly than alone. Whether we run together across the animal shelter grounds or go for walks outside – together we are much braver, and it makes everything more fun. However, my favorite wish is to have our very own home for myself and my brother. A home where we can be part of a family, because we have never had that before. Maybe you would like to meet Lucky and me? Then come and visit us soon.

Hallo, ich bin Billy! Zusammen mit meinem Bruder Lucky bin ich in einem Tierheim in Portugal aufgewachsen. Vor Kurzem haben wir uns auf eine große Reise begeben – das war unglaublich spannend! Es gab so viel zu sehen, wir haben so viel erlebt, und am Ende waren wir plötzlich an einem ganz neuen Ort, wo wir jetzt zusammen in einem Zimmer wohnen. Jetzt sind wir hier, umgeben von vielen neuen Hunden und Menschen. Alles ist neu und aufregend und ab und zu auch ein klein wenig gruselig. Deshalb bin ich sehr froh, dass mein Bruder Lucky an meiner Seite ist, denn mit ihm zusammen entdecke ich meine neue Umgebung viel lieber als allein. Ob wir gemeinsam über das Tierheimgelände laufen oder draußen Gassi gehen – zusammen sind wir viel mutiger, und es macht einfach alles mehr Spaß. Am allerliebsten wünsche ich mir jedoch ein eigenes Zuhause für mich und meinen Bruder. Ein Zuhause, in dem wir Teil einer Familie sein dürfen, denn das hatten wir bisher noch nie. Vielleicht möchtest du Lucky und mich ja einmal kennenlernen? Dann komm doch bitte bald vorbei.

About Billy

What life with Billy looks like

Billy is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Montabaur in Montabaur.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Billy, answered.

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