Hazel und Sophie

Mixed Breed · Female · Baby

We are seeking a good and loving home for our two female degus Hazel and Sophie due to health reasons. We purchased the two girls in early July 2026 when they were still very small. Unfortunately, I do not know their exact age, but they are probably around 5-6 months old. One of the degus is very tame, while the other is still a bit shy. They get along well and will only be given away together. No health issues are known with the girls. A pickup is possible up to 30 km. Note from DHS: Socialization with animals of this age (teenage phase) should be carefully considered and should be thoroughly thought out in advance. If an attempt is still considered, a plan B should be in place in case the integration fails (e.g., sufficient space to keep a second group). Further information on the teenage phase can be found in our information sheet.

Aus gesundheitlichen Gründen suchen wir für unsere zwei weiblichen Degus Hazel und Sophie ein gutes und liebevolles Zuhause. Die beiden Mädels haben wir Anfang Juli 2026 gekauft und da waren sie noch sehr klein. Wie alt ganz genau, weiß ich leider nicht, sie sind vermutlich aber um die 5 – 6 Monate alt. Eine der Degus ist sehr handzahm, die andere noch etwas schüchtern. Beide verstehen sich gut und werden deswegen nur gemeinsam abgegeben. Gesundheitliche Auffälligkeiten sind bei den Mädels keine bekannt. Ein Entgegenfahren wäre bis zu 30 km möglich. Anmerkung der DHS:Vergesellschaftungen mit Tieren diesen Alters (Flegelphase) sind kritisch zu betrachten und sollten vorab zumindest sehr gut überlegt werden. Falls trotzdem ein Versuch in Betracht gezogen wird, sollte auf jeden Fall auch schon ein Plan B bei Scheitern der Zusammenführung vorhanden sein (z. B. genügend Platz um eine zweite Gruppe zu halten).Weitere Informationen zur Flegelphase finden sich in unserem Infoblatt

About Hazel und Sophie

What life with Hazel und Sophie looks like

Hazel und Sophie is a very small young mixed breed animal waiting at Deguhilfe Süd e.V. in Obermichelbach.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Hazel und Sophie 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

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Hazel und Sophie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hazel und Sophie?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Deguhilfe Süd e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hazel und Sophie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hazel und Sophie 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 Deguhilfe Süd e.V. what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Hazel und Sophie 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 Deguhilfe Süd e.V. directly what is included and what Hazel und Sophie still needs.
What happens if Hazel und Sophie 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 Deguhilfe Süd e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hazel und Sophie 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.
