Horst

Male · Adult · 7 years

Hello, I am Horst... a potbellied pig! Together with my brother Bacon, we were dropped off at the animal shelter when we grew too big and our previous home was no longer species-appropriate. Now we are enjoying our new home and discovering new animals that live here with us every day :). This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Hallo, ich bin Horst... ein Hängebauchschwein! Zusammen mit meinem Bruder Bacon wurde ich im Tierheim abgegeben, da wir zu groß wurden und unser ehemaliges Zuhause nicht mehr artgerecht war. Jetzt genießen wir unser neues Zuhause und entdecken jeden Tag neue Tiere, welche hier mit uns leben :)

About Horst

What life with Horst looks like

Horst is a adult animal waiting at Tierheim Montabaur in Montabaur.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Horst 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 Horst, answered.

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