Adopt Degus

Female · Young · 1 year

Bei uns seit: 07.04.2025 Aus einem Animal-Hoarding-Fall von über 250 Tieren haben wir eine Gruppe von vier Degu-Weibchen aufgenommen. Alle haben sich gut eingelebt und genießen es, endlich artgerecht gehalten zu werden. Zwei von den Degus haben bereits ein liebevolles Zuhause gefunden. Die tag- und nachtaktiven Tiere sind für Menschen geeignet, die Freude daran haben, die Kleinen zu beobachten. Sie sind äußerst neugierig und wir können uns gut vorstellen, dass sie in absehbarer Zeit auch Leckerlies aus der Hand nehmen.

About Degus

What life with Degus looks like

Degus is a young adult animal waiting at Tierheim Dorf Mecklenburg in Germany.

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

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