Billy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Billy lebt seit Welpenalter bei einer sardischen Familie. Er kennt das Leben im Haus, kennt Alltagsgeräusche, kennt an der Leine gehen und er liebt seine Familie. Leider können ihn seine Menschen aufgrund ihres Alters nicht mehr gerecht werden. Sie suchen nun händeringend ein neues Zuhause für ihren Billy. Sie möchten ihn nicht ins Tierheim geben, aber lange ist die Situation nicht mehr tragbar. Sie lieben ihn, aber es ist ihnen nicht mehr möglich, ihn auszuführen. Man hat jetzt für Billy eine freie Fläche am Haus eingerichtet, wo er sich lösen kann. Aber das kann nicht die Lösung sein. Wir haben Billy besucht und er zeigte sich uns gegenüber sehr freundlich. Er ließ sich streicheln und knuddeln und freute sich sichtlich über die Abwechslung. Er war sehr gepflegt und man spürte, wie sehr seine Menschen an ihm hängen. Billy hat bis jetzt als Einzelhund gelebt, deswegen suchen wir für ihn ein Zuhause als Einzelprinz oder bei einer sozialen Hündin. Kinder sollten 16 Jahre oder älter sein, denn Billy kann schon „umwerfend“ sein, wenn er sich freut. Für Billy suchen wir aktive Menschen, die den hübschen Kerl auslasten, ihn fördern und ihn konsequent, aber auch liebevoll führen. Haben Sie noch Fragen zu Billy? Dann nehmen Sie gerne Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde kommen selbstverständlich gechipt, entwurmt und komplett geimpft mit einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport nach Deutschland. Die Hunde reisen mit TRACES.

About Billy

What life with Billy looks like

Billy is a extra-large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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.

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. Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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 — Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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 Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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.
