Pumba

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Pumba, 6 years old, is a male, unneutered Degu looking for a new home. Degus are very social animals and should never be kept alone. Therefore, we are looking for a home for Poldi where he can live with at least one other of his kind. However, the introduction to a new companion should be done with patience and experience as Poldi tends to bully his fellow inhabitants. The chemistry between them must therefore be carefully tested on an individual basis. We would like people who are familiar with the needs of Degus or have intensively studied their care for Poldi. A generously furnished, species-appropriate enclosure with many climbing, hiding and activity opportunities is a matter of course for him. If you want to give Poldi the chance at a suitable home with company and plenty of space to climb, run and discover, please contact us at our animal shelter.

Pumba, 6 Jahre alt, ist ein männlicher, unkastrierter Degu, der auf der Suche nach einem neuen Zuhause ist. Degus sind sehr soziale Tiere und dürfen niemals allein gehalten werden. Deshalb suchen wir für Pumba ein Zuhause, in dem bereits mindestens ein Artgenosse lebt. Die Vergesellschaftung sollte jedoch mit Geduld und Erfahrung erfolgen, da Pumba dazu neigt, seine Mitbewohner zu mobben. Ob die Chemie stimmt, muss daher im Einzelfall sorgfältig getestet werden. Für Pumba wünschen wir uns Menschen, die sich mit den Bedürfnissen von Degus auskennen oder sich intensiv mit ihrer Haltung auseinandergesetzt haben. Ein großzügig eingerichtetes, artgerechtes Gehege mit vielen Kletter-, Versteck- und Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten ist für ihn selbstverständlich. Wer Pumba die Chance auf ein passendes Zuhause mit Gesellschaft und viel Platz zum Klettern, Rennen und Entdecken schenken möchte, darf sich gerne bei uns im Tierheim melden.

About Pumba

What life with Pumba looks like

Pumba is a small adult mixed breed animal waiting at Tierschutzverein Trier und Umgebung e.V. in Germany.

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

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