Brain

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

I recently took in a Degu on an emergency basis and named him Brain. The Degu appears to be quite old (estimated 6-8 years) and is very tame. Since Degus are not solitary animals, I would like to provide Brain with a nice home with companions. He is not afraid of people and comes up to your lap or hand when you feed him. Unfortunately, I can't say anything about Brain's behavior with other Degus. The cage can't be taken over.

Vor kurzem habe ich einen Degu notfallmäßig aufgenommen und ihn Brain getauft.Der Degu scheint wohl schon etwas älter zu sein (geschätzt 6 – 8 Jahre) und ist ziemlich handzahm. Da Degus keine Einzelgänger sind, möchte ich Brain nun ein schönes Zuhause mit Artgenossen ermöglichen. Menchen gegenüber ist er nicht schreckhaft und kommt von alleine auch auf den Schoß oder auf die Hand wenn man ihn füttert.Zum Verhalten von Brain mit anderen Degus kann ich leider keine Aussage treffen. Der Käfig kann leider nicht mit übernommen werden.

About Brain

What life with Brain looks like

Brain is a adult mixed breed animal waiting at Deguhilfe Süd e.V. in Obermichelbach.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Brain far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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 Brain, answered.

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