Oskar

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

We regret to announce that we must part ways with our Degu, Oskar, due to family reasons. His partner Peppy has passed away. Since we care deeply about Oskar's well-being and Degus should not be kept alone, we are now seeking a loving home where he will have a suitable companion. Oskar was born in July 2021. He is a male Degu who is initially shy and sometimes skittish. However, with time and attention, his wonderful personality emerges: Oskar becomes incredibly affectionate, enjoys being petted, loves to cuddle, and sometimes even falls asleep on your lap. He adores treats like peanuts, carrot flakes, and sunflower seeds, and spends hours each day in his exercise wheel. With our deceased Degu, he was definitely the subordinate partner, but if something doesn't suit him, he won't hesitate to stand up for himself. Oskar is in top health! He has been thoroughly checked by a veterinarian and no health issues have been found. Oskar currently resides in 97353 Wiesentheid.

Hallo liebe Degu-Freunde, wir müssen uns leider aus familiären Gründen von der Deguhaltung verabschieden, da Oskars Partner Peppy verstorben ist. Da uns das Wohl von Oskar sehr am Herzen liegt und Degus auf Dauer nicht alleine gehalten werden sollten, suchen wir nun ein liebevolles Zuhause für ihn, in dem bereits ein passender Kumpel auf ihn wartet. Oskar ist im Juli 2021 geboren. Er ist ein männlicher Degu, der anfangs etwas schüchtern und manchmal leicht schreckhaft ist. Wenn man ihm jedoch etwas Zeit gibt und sich mit ihm beschäftigt, taucht sein wunderbarer Charakter auf: Oskar wird dann unglaublich zutraulich, genießt Streicheleinheiten, kuschelt sehr gerne und schläft manchmal sogar auf dem Schoß ein. Leckereien wie Erdnüsse, Karottenflocken und Sonnenblumenkerne liebt er über alles und in seinem Laufrad verbringt er jeden Tag Stunden.Mit unserem verstorbenen Degu war er definitiv der nicht-dominante Part, wenn ihm jedoch etwas nicht passt, dann lässt er sich dies auch nicht gefallen und setzt sich zur Wehr. Oskar ist top-gesund! Er wurde beim Tierarzt durchgecheckt und es sind keinerlei gesundheitliche Probleme bekannt. Oskar wohnt aktuell in 97353 Wiesentheid. Die

About Oskar

What life with Oskar looks like

Oskar 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 Oskar 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 Oskar, answered.

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