Merlin

Male · Senior · 21 years

Hello, I am Merlin. I come from a place where my insane jumping ability lets me almost anywhere. I visit the pigs and goats by simply jumping the small fences, a piece of cake for me! I am a bit shy and if strangers get too close, I might spit... so be careful ;). But for a little treat in the form of a banana, I always say never no.

Hallo, ich bin Merlin. Ich komme aufgrund meiner wahnsinnigen Sprungkraft fast überall hin. Ich besuche die Schweine und Ziegen indem ich einfach die kleinen Zäune überspringe, ein Kinderspiel für mich! Ich bin etwas scheu und wenn mir fremde Menschen zu nahe kommen, dann spucke ich auch gerne... also Vorsicht ;). Aber für ein kleines Leckerchen in Form von einer Banane sage ich nie nein.

About Merlin

What life with Merlin looks like

Merlin is a senior animal waiting at Tierheim Montabaur in Montabaur.

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

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