Poseidon

Chinchilla · Male · Adult · 4 years

I am Poseidon … and came to the animal shelter due to financial reasons. Now I hope for a wonderful new home. Chinchillas are lively, curious animals. In their native South America, they inhabit mountainous areas and seek shelter in caves or rock crevices. They are demanding in terms of care, require a lot of space, and are not lap pets but rather animals to observe. Chinchillas are mostly nocturnal and must be kept at least in pairs. I look forward to a new home in a large aviary with many climbing opportunities. The minimum dimensions for a chinchilla habitat for two animals are 1,50 m x 50 cm x 1,80 m. More space, of course, would be wonderful.

Ich bin Poseidon … und kam aus finanziellen Gründen ins Tierheim. Jetzt hoffe ich auf ein tolles neues Zuhause. Chinchillas sind aufgeweckte, neugierige Tiere. In ihrer Heimat Südamerika bewohnen sie bergige Gebiete und suchen in Höhlen oder Felsspalten Unterschlupf. Sie sind anspruchsvoll in der Haltung, brauchen viel Platz und sind keine Streichel- sondern Beobachtungstiere. Chinchillas sind meist nachtaktiv und müssen unbedingt mindestens zu zweit gehalten werden. Ich freue mich auf ein neues Zuhause in einer großen Voliere mit vielen Klettermöglichkeiten. Die Mindestmaße einer Chinchilla-Behausung für zwei Tiere sind 1,50 m x 50 cm x 1,80 m. Mehr geht natürlich immer und wäre großartig. Zusätzlich brauchen Chinchillas täglich 4-5 Stunden Freilauf außerhalb ihres Geheges Wenn du mir ein Plätzchen schenken möchtest, melde dich über das Anfrageformular unten oder telefonisch im Kleintierhaus unter (tgl 13-16 Uhr außer samstags).

About Poseidon

What life with Poseidon looks like

Poseidon is a large adult chinchilla animal waiting at Tierheim Berlin in Berlin.

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

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