Donni

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Since Donnie has a heart condition, we as an animal welfare association would like to support him and contribute toward the associated medical costs within our means. Please feel free to contact us personally about this. Donnie is a friendly, people-oriented and cuddly male dog who greatly enjoys the closeness of his caregivers. With his loving nature, he quickly wins the hearts of his people. Unfortunately, Donnie does not get along with other male dogs. With female dogs, it depends on sympathy. Encounters with other dogs should therefore always be assessed individually. His biggest challenge is being left alone. Donnie finds it very difficult to settle down without his people, which he clearly shows by barking and howling. For him, we therefore wish for a home where he rarely, or ideally never, has to be left alone, and where patient work on this continues. In addition, Donnie has a heart condition. This is currently well controlled with medication, so he is managing well at the moment. The necessary treatment should, of course, continue to be regularly supervised by a veterinarian. Depending on the animal and its size, monthly costs range between 30 and 120 euros, plus bowls, beds, leashes, or a scratching post. Vaccinations, deworming, and preventive care are predictable. An operation or dental treatment is not included. For dogs, dog tax and liability insurance are added. Both are mandatory, and both are manageable, but they should be planned for. Write us an email or call us at . We look forward to hearing from you.

Da Donnie an einer Herzerkrankung leidet, möchten wir als Tierschutzverein unterstützend zur Seite stehen und uns an den damit verbundenen medizinischen Kosten, im Rahmen unserer Möglichkeiten, beteiligen. Bitte sprecht uns hierzu gerne persönlich an. Donnie ist ein freundlicher, menschenbezogener und verschmuster Rüde, der die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen sehr genießt. Mit seinem liebevollen Wesen gewinnt er schnell die Herzen seiner Menschen. Mit anderen Rüden versteht sich Donnie leider nicht. Bei Hündinnen entscheidet die Sympathie. Daher sollten Begegnungen mit Artgenossen stets individuell eingeschätzt werden. Seine größte Baustelle ist das Alleinbleiben. Donnie fällt es sehr schwer, ohne seine Menschen zur Ruhe zu kommen, was er durch Bellen und Heulen deutlich zeigt. Für ihn wünschen wir uns daher ein Zuhause, in dem er nur selten oder idealerweise gar nicht alleine bleiben muss und in dem weiter geduldig mit ihm daran gearbeitet wird. Zudem hat Donnie eine Herzerkrankung. Diese ist derzeit medikamentös gut eingestellt, sodass er aktuell gut damit zurechtkommt. Die notwendige Behandlung sollte selbstverständlich weiterhin regelmäßig tierärztlich begleitet werden. Je nach Tier und Größe kommen monatlich zwischen 30 und 120 Euro zusammen — dazu Näpfe, Körbchen, Leinen oder ein Kratzbaum. Impfungen, Wurmkuren und Prophylaxe sind planbar. Eine Operation oder eine Zahnbehandlung ist es nicht. Für Hunde kommen Hundesteuer und Haftpflichtversicherung dazu. Beides ist Pflicht, beides ist überschaubar — aber es sollte eingeplant sein. Schreib uns eine E-Mail an oder ruf uns an unter . Wir freuen uns, von dir zu hören.

About Donni

What life with Donni looks like

Donni is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Wipperfürth in Wipperfürth.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Donni, answered.

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