Jonny

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

We must sadly part with our beloved degu Jonny, as his best friend/brother passed away completely unexpectedly on June 4, 2026. He is 5 years old and has lived with us since he was a baby. He only has half a tail, which was accidentally pulled off many years ago and poses no hindrance. Jonny is quick, always the first at feeding time, and loves his exercise wheel. He doesn't share his food willingly, but otherwise, he is a charming and lively degu. He enjoys cuddling with another degu. Jonny will be given to loving hands with all accessories included for a small adoption fee. We are also happy to drive the new owners to pick him up. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

DE·Show original

Wir müssen schweren Herzens unseren geliebten Degu Jonny abgeben, da sein bester Freund/Bruder am 04.06.2026 völlig unerwartet verstorben ist. Er ist 5 Jahre alt und hat von klein an bei uns gelebt. Er hat nur noch einen halben Schwanz, weil versehentlich daran gezogen wurde. Aber das ist bereits viele Jahre her und stellt keinerlei Beeinträchtigung dar. Jonny ist flink, immer der erste beim Fressen und liebt sein Laufrad. Sein Futter teilt er nicht gerne, aber ansonsten ist er ein liebenswerter und aufgeweckter Degu. Er kuschelt liebend gerne mit einem anderen Degu. Jonny wird mit allem Zubehör in liebevolle Hände gegen eine geringe Schutzgebühr abgegeben. Gerne fahren wir auch den neuen Besitzern entgegen.

About Jonny

What life with Jonny looks like

Jonny is a small adult mixed breed animal waiting at Deguhilfe Süd e.V. in Obermichelbach.

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

How do I contact the shelter about Jonny?
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 Jonny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jonny if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Deguhilfe Süd e.V. 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 Jonny 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 Jonny 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 Jonny 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.
