Kenny

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Kenny, male, 7 years old, is looking for a new home since his last companion sadly passed away. He can be a bit headstrong and used to assert himself within his group, but he has become more relaxed. He loved cuddling with his group all day long. People-curious degus easily influenced him—if, for example, one of his group members crawled onto my arm and you took the time, Kenny would come out of his cage on his own. Now, even without his group, he allows himself to be petted. It’s very clear that he misses cuddling with other degus. He is healthy, and no illnesses are known. He enjoys fresh vegetables most of all—you can win his heart very quickly with treats. I would only like to place him with experienced degu owners. He is available exclusively for a small adoption fee and with a care agreement contract. I am from Dortmund and would be willing to drive up to 100 km to meet you.

DE·Show original

Kenny, männlich, 7 Jahre alt, sucht ein neues Zuhause, da sein letzter Kumpel leider verstorben ist. Er kann aufmüpfig sein und behauptete sich gerne vor seiner Gruppe, doch er ist gemütlicher geworden. Am liebsten kuschelte er den lieben langen Tag mit seiner Gruppe. Menschenneugierige Degus stecken ihn leicht an – wenn einer aus der Gruppe beispielsweise auf meinen Arm krabbelte und man sich die Zeit nahm, kam Kenny eigenständig aus seinem Käfig. Ohne seine Gruppe lässt er sich nun auch streicheln. Ganz eindeutig fehlt ihm das Kuscheln mit anderen Degus. Er ist gesund und es sind keine Krankheiten bekannt. Am meisten freut er sich über frisches Gemüse. Man gewinnt sein Herz sehr schnell mit Futter.Ich möchte ihn nur in die Hände erfahrener Deguhalter geben. Abzugeben ist er ausschließlich gegen eine kleine Vermittlungsgebühr und mit einem Sorgeberechtigungsvertrag. Ich komme aus Dortmund und wäre bereit mit dem Auto bis zu 100 km entgegenzukommen.

About Kenny

What life with Kenny looks like

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

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

How do I contact the shelter about Kenny?
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 Kenny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kenny 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 Kenny 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 Kenny 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 Kenny 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.
