Adopt Norbert

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

The hornless Kamerunschafsbock, Norbert, was listed for sale on eBay classifieds near Drolshagen in January 2024 at the age of six. Garden friends wanted to keep him and three goats as lawn mowers, but they severely underestimated the care requirements. They also didn't know that stable, sufficiently high fences are needed for the husbandry of such active animals. Therefore, the four animals have been living only in the stable for quite some time. The three goats found a new home in a landscape conservation program in the Eifel. We initially took the unneutered Norbert to the Uniklinik in Gießen. There, he was neutered and his extremely unkempt, much too long claws were trimmed. For six weeks, he had to stay in the quarantine stall alone because only then was the reproductive capability ruled out. Now, he enjoys his life with the four Kamerunmädchen, Alma II, Fayola II, Malaika, and Zuri, but he urgently needs a few nice sponsors. Would you like to become his sponsor? Fill out the sponsorship declaration now.

Der seiner Hörner beraubte Kamerunschafsbock wurde im Januar 2024 im Alter von sechs Jahren auf ebay-Kleinanzeigen in der Nähe von Drolshagen zum Verkauf angeboten. Gartenfreunde wollten ihn und drei Ziegen als Rasenmäher halten, hatten aber den Pflegeaufwand bei weitem unterschätzt. Auch wussten sie nicht, dass man für die Haltung solcher unternehmungslustigen Tiere stabile, ausreichend hohe Zäune benötigt. Deshalb fristen die vier Tiere ihr Dasein schon eine ganze Weile nur im Stall. Die drei Ziegen fanden in einem Landschaftspflegeprogramm in der Eifel ein neues Zuhause. Den unkastrierten Norbert brachten wir zunächst in die Uniklinik nach Gießen. Dort wurde er kastriert und auch seine extrem ungepflegten, viel zu langen Klauen gekürzt. Sechs Wochen lang musste er allein im Quarantänestall verbringen, weil erst dann die Zeugungsfähigkeit ausgeschlossen war. Jetzt erfreut er sich schon lange seines Lebens zusammen mit den vier Kamerunmädchen Alma II, Fayola II, Malaika und Zuri. Aber er braucht dringend noch ein paar nette Pat(inn)en.

About Norbert

What life with Norbert looks like

Norbert is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed animal waiting at Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. in Drolshagen.

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

How do I contact the shelter about Norbert?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Norbert on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Norbert if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schutzengel für Tiere 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 Norbert 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 Norbert 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 Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Norbert 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.
