Goldi & Blacky

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Goldi and Blacky are two social guinea pig bucks looking for a suitable home. Both are well socialized and want a home where their needs are understood and they can lead a happy guinea pig life. Goldi has a small health issue. He suffers from arthritis in one front paw and therefore receives daily pain medication, which he takes very well. Additionally, he is currently being monitored by a veterinarian due to weight loss. Whether further treatment is necessary will be decided after the next check-ups. Important: Blacky is not neutered. Therefore, he must either be neutered before being introduced to females or be placed in an existing or new all-male group.

Goldi und Blacky sind zwei soziale Meerschweinchenböckchen, die auf der Suche nach einem artgerechten Zuhause sind. Beide sind gut sozialisiert und wünschen sich ein Zuhause, in dem ihre Bedürfnisse verstanden werden und sie ein schönes Meerschweinchenleben führen dürfen. Goldi bringt eine kleine gesundheitliche Baustelle mit. Er leidet an Arthrose in einer Vorderpfote und bekommt deshalb täglich Schmerzmedikamente, die er sehr gut annimmt. Zusätzlich wird er derzeit aufgrund eines Gewichtsverlustes tierärztlich überwacht. Ob eine weitere Behandlung notwendig wird, entscheidet sich nach den nächsten Kontrollen. Wichtig: Blacky ist nicht kastriert. Er muss daher entweder vor einer Vergesellschaftung mit Weibchen kastriert werden oder in eine bestehende bzw. neu entstehende reine Böckchengruppe vermittelt werden.

About Goldi & Blacky

What life with Goldi & Blacky looks like

Goldi & Blacky is a adult mixed breed animal waiting at Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren in Ibbenbüren.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Goldi & Blacky 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 Goldi & Blacky, answered.

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