Krümel

Maltese · Male

Crumb is a handsome young dog who has already passed through several hands. Unfortunately, some mistakes have been made in his upbringing. In some situations, he tends to snap. This still needs to be worked on. But the fact is that you have to earn his trust and not just see a cute dog. He definitely is, but he wants to be perceived as what he is, namely a dog with needs and demands. Crumb will not be placed with children.

DE·Show original

Krümel ist ein hübscher junger Hund, der bereits durch mehrere Hände gegangen ist. Leider hat man in seiner Erziehung einige Fehler gemacht. In manchen Situationen neigt er zum Schnappen. Hieran muß noch gearbeitet werden. Aber Fakt ist, daß man sich sein Vertrauen erarbeiten muß und nicht in erster Linie einen niedlichen Hund sieht. Das ist er definitiv, aber er will als das was er ist, wahrgenommen werden, nämlich als Hund mit Bedürfnissen und Ansprüchen. Krümel wird nicht zu Kindern vermittelt.

About Krümel

What life with Krümel looks like

Krümel is a maltese dog waiting at Tierheim Forchheim in Forchheim.

A dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Krümel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Krümel?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierheim Forchheim handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Krümel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Krümel if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierheim Forchheim whether they will for Krümel, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Krümel already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Tierheim Forchheim lists Krümel as neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierheim Forchheim, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Krümel isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierheim Forchheim about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Krümel 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.
