Dobby und Duffy

Mixed Breed · Unknown

were taken over by the Animal Shelter in 2025. They were in a very poor condition. Both were undernourished and had EC. Their teeth were so long they could no longer chew; their eyes were cloudy, and if guinea pigs could wear hearing aids, they would need one. At the time, the dwarves were just eight months old. Now, Dobby is completely deaf and has gone completely blind. One eye had to be removed. They require a dental treatment every fourteen days. Duffy occasionally has EC flare-ups, which are then treated with medication. Despite all their problems, they have an unbreakable zest for life. They love to destroy their enclosures and shred their houses. They even won't stop at ceramic food bowls, which were already replaced with metal ones. Despite everything, they are two chubby cuddle buns who hopefully get to enjoy a long life with us at the Animal Shelter, as a gift of mercy.

DE·Show original

wurden 2025 an den Tierschutz übergeben. Sie waren in einem sehr schlechten Zustand. Beide unterernährt und an EC erkrankt. Die Zähnchen so lang, dass sie nicht mehr kauen konnten; die Augen trübe und wäre es für Kaninchen möglich, dann hätten sie ein Hörgerät. Dabei waren die Zwerge mal gerade erst acht Monate alt. Mittlerweile ist der kleine Dobby taub und komplett erblindet. Ein Auge musste sogar entfernt werden. Alle vierzehn Tage ist eine Zahnbehandlung fällig. Duffy hat immer mal wieder EC Schübe, die dann mit Medikamenten behandelt werden. Bei all den Problemchen haben die Beiden eine unverwüstliche Lebenfreude. Sie lieben es, ihr Gehege zu verwüsten und ihre Häuschen zu schreddern. Selbst vor den Keramik Futternäpfen machen sie nicht halt. Die wurden bereits gegen Blechnäpfe ausgetauscht. Trotz allem sind es zwei dicke Schmusebacken, die ihr noch hoffentlich langes Leben bei uns im Tierschutz, als Gnadenbrötchen verbringen dürfen.

About Dobby und Duffy

What life with Dobby und Duffy looks like

Dobby und Duffy is a small adult mixed breed animal waiting at Tierschutzverein Porz in Köln.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Dobby und Duffy 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 Dobby und Duffy, answered.

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