Billy

Mixed Breed · Male

Billy ist ein unsicherer, schüchterner Junghund, welcher einen ruhigen, geduldigen Umgang benötigt. Er befindet sich zur Zeit auf einer Pflegestelle, wo er die nicht so trubelige Umgebung wert schätzt und hier auch mehr an Sicherheit gewinnt, als es der hektische Tierheimalltag zuläßt. Auch findet er Gefallen daran, im Mittelpunkt zu stehen und viel Zuwendung zu erfahren. Wer sich für ihn interessiert und sich im klaren ist, daß es einige Zeit dauern wird, bis er Vertrauen fasst, wird dann aber mit seiner lieben und feinen Art belohnt. Ein geregelter Tagesablauf ist für ihn wichtig. Unter Umständen wäre ein souveränder netter Zweithund vorteilhaft. Kleine Kinder würden ihn zu sehr verunsichern; daher eher ein ruhiger Haushalt. Billy hat derzeit eine Schulterhöhe von 49 cm und wiegt ca. 15 kg. Bei Interesse an dem jungen Hundemann bitte direkten Kontakt mit der Pflegestelle unter aufnehmen.

About Billy

What life with Billy looks like

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

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 Billy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Billy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Forchheim 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 Forchheim 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 Forchheim 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.
