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 kastriert, sitzt aber derzeit noch seine sechswöchige Kastrationspflicht ab. Das sollte bei einer Vergesellschaftung mit einem Weibchen berücksichtigt werden.

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?: Sometimes. Whether a animal can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Goldi & Blacky already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a animal comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Tierschutzverein Ibbenbüren directly what is included and what Goldi & Blacky still needs.
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.
