Lisa

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Degu-Dame Lisa, 7.5 years old, is looking for a new home. After her last partner, Trixie, crossed the Degu rainbow bridge on May 21, 2026, at the age of 10, our Degu-Dame Lisa is now alone. Previously, it was a group of four for many years. Despite being 7.5 years old, she is still very lively and robust. She was never the alpha in the group. Her last groupings were quick, like with the now deceased Trixie. She is reserved around people but curious. A treat can always lure her in. She loves to burrow and has dug several tunnels in our large Degu cabinet, always maintaining order. She adores her heating pad and, of course, her peanut, which she gets once a week. She also enjoys kohlrabi sticks, split peas, and fresh greens. Lisa has never been sick and weighs a healthy 250g. Since our children are about to leave home soon, we do not want to take on new degus and are therefore seeking a loving home for her golden years.

Degu-Dame Lisa, 7,5 Jahre alt sucht ein neues Zuhause. Nachdem ihre letzte Partnerin am 21.05.26 im Alter von 10 Jahren über die Degu-Regenbogenbrücke gegangen ist, ist unsere Degu-Dame Lisa nun alleine. Es war vorher lange Jahre eine Vierergruppe. Sie ist trotz ihrer 7,5 Jahre noch sehr aufgeweckt und rüstig. Sie war nie das Alpha-Tier in der Gruppe. Die letzten Vergesellschaftungen verliefen in Rekordzeit, wie mit der jetzt verstorbenen Trixie. Gegenüber Menschen ist sie zurückhaltend aber neugierig. Mit einem Leckerli kann man sie immer anlocken. Sie buddelt gerne und hat sich in unserem großen Degu-Schrank diverse Tunnel gegraben und hat immer für Ordnung gesorgt. Sie liebt ihre Wärmeplatte und natürlich ihre Erdnuss, die sie einmal in der Woche bekommt. Auch Kohlrabistängel, Erbsenflocken und frisches Grün mag sie.Lisa war noch nie krank, sie wiegt gesunde 250g. Da unsere Kinder nun auch zeitnah das Haus verlassen, wollen wir nach langer Zeit der Erfahrung keine neuen Degus mehr aufnehmen und somit suchen wir, für Lisa ein liebevolles Zuhause für ihren Lebensabend.

About Lisa

What life with Lisa looks like

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

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

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