Crush

Mixed Breed · Male

The little Crush was found on an Alster branch. We are now looking for a caring home for the male box turtle. Although Crush belongs to the aquatic turtles, he does not only stay in the water, but also basks in the sun on land. Nevertheless, he also needs the opportunity to swim and has high demands on the surrounding air and water temperatures. Aquatic turtles live together with conspecifics, but a male should live with several females. All information on the care of Crush can be obtained from our animal care team in the small animal house.

Der kleine Crush wurde an einem Alsterausläufer gefunden. Nun suchen wir ein fürsorgliches Zuhause für den Klappschildkröten-Mann. Obwohl Crush zu den Wasserschildkröten gehört, hält er sich nicht nur im Wasser, sondern zum Sonnenbaden auch viel an Land auf. Dennoch benötigt auch er die Möglichkeit zum Baden und hat hohe Ansprüche an die ihn umgebenden Luft- und Wassertemperaturen. Wasserschildkröten leben zwar mit Artgenoss*innen zusammen, es sollte aber ein Männchen mit mehreren Weibchen zusammenleben. Alle Informationen zu der Haltung von Crush erhalten Sie von unserem Tierpflegeteam im Kleintierhaus.

About Crush

What life with Crush looks like

Crush is a adult mixed breed animal waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Crush 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 Crush, answered.

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