Simbo

Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Our wonderful Simbo is a ca. 7-year-old, small middle-sized dog (ca. 9 kg) who has been part of our family for 6 years.Simbo is a true unique: a cheerful, lively little fellow full of joy. He loves to run, dig, and play with his plush toys – and his charming, funny nature always brings a smile to everyone’s face. What makes Simbo special: He is incredibly cuddly and actively seeks the closeness of his trusted people – cuddling is his favorite thing. At the same time, he is attentive, intelligent, and very eager to learn. Due to his deafness, he works a lot with eye contact and hand signals – and this works reliably in everyday life. Training & Everyday Life:Simbo knows structured training and is used to being led. He is good at responding and orienting himself to his person. With clear guidance, management, and routine, he is very manageable in everyday life. He works happily and shows a lot of potential and joy. Important Notes:Simbo brings topics that must be taken seriously – at the same time, they are well assessable and manageable if you have experience: • Strangers:He shows a clear defensive behavior when directly approached (especially hands). This behavior is known and predictable – with appropriate management in everyday life, it is well controllable. • Dog encounters:He is selectively tolerant. With clear guidance and well-structured encounters, quiet walks and even contact are possible – but they must be structured and consciously led. • Environmental stimuli:Quick movements (e.g., children) can trigger him. Here too: With attention, training, and forward-thinking action, he is safe to lead in everyday life. Important: Simbo is no "problem dog," but a dog that needs clear communication and guidance – and he already has experience in this. Additionally, he shows a slight head tremor (minimal wobble), which does not affect him in everyday life. Diet:Due to allergies, Simbo requires cooked BARF according to plan. The diet was professionally matched (including allergy tests and finished feeding plans). The effort is manageable, and the costs are slightly higher. Originally from Slovenia, he is microchipped, vaccinated, and neutered. Who we are looking for for Simbo:A quiet, stable home with dog-experienced people,• without children• without other dogs in the household• with clear guidance, patience, and responsibility awarenessPeople who are ready to accompany him confidently and give him security. Abandonment reason: Sadly, we must relinquish Simbo for health reasons. Contact: Franziska Börgers, Paderborn Tel.:

Unser wundervoller Simbo ist ein ca. 7 Jahre alter, kleiner Mittelspitz (ca. 9 kg), der seit 6 Jahren Teil unserer Familie ist.Simbo ist ein echtes Unikat: ein fröhlicher, quirliger kleiner Kerl voller Lebensfreude. Er liebt es zu rennen, zu buddeln und mit seinen Plüschtieren zu spielen – und bringt einen mit seiner charmanten, lustigen Art immer wieder zum Lachen. Was Simbo besonders macht:Er ist unglaublich verschmust und sucht aktiv die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen – Kuscheln ist für ihn das Größte. Gleichzeitig ist er aufmerksam, intelligent und sehr lernwillig.Aufgrund seiner Gehörlosigkeit arbeitet er viel über Blickkontakt und Handzeichen – und das funktioniert im Alltag zuverlässig. Training & Alltag:Simbo kennt strukturiertes Training und ist es gewohnt, geführt zu werden. Er ist gut ansprechbar und orientiert sich an seinem Menschen.Mit klarer Führung, Management und Routine lässt er sich im Alltag sehr gut händeln. Er arbeitet gerne mit und zeigt dabei viel Potenzial und Freude. Wichtige Hinweise:Simbo bringt Themen mit, die ernst genommen werden müssen – gleichzeitig sind sie gut einschätzbar und managbar, wenn man Erfahrung hat: • Fremde Menschen:Er zeigt ein klares Abwehrverhalten bei direkter Annäherung (v. a. Hände). Dieses Verhalten ist bekannt und vorhersehbar – mit entsprechendem Management im Alltag gut kontrollierbar.• Hundebegegnungen:Er ist selektiv verträglich. Mit klarer Führung und gut aufgebauten Begegnungen sind ruhige Spaziergänge und auch Kontakt möglich – jedoch strukturiert und bewusst geführt.• Umweltreize:Schnelle Bewegungen (z. B. Kinder) können ihn triggern. Auch hier gilt: Mit Aufmerksamkeit, Training und vorausschauendem Handeln ist er im Alltag sicher zu führen. Wichtig: Simbo ist kein „Problemhund“, sondern ein Hund, der klare Kommunikation und Führung braucht – und genau darin bereits Erfahrung hat.Zusätzlich zeigt er einen leichten Kopftremor (minimales Wackeln), der ihn im Alltag nicht beeinträchtigt. Ernährung:Aufgrund von Allergien benötigt Simbo gekochtes BARF nach Plan. Die Ernährung wurde professionell abgestimmt (inkl. Allergietests und fertigen Futterplänen). Der Aufwand ist überschaubar, die Kosten etwas höher. Ursprünglich kommt er aus Slowenien, ist gechipt, geimpft und kastriert. Wen wir für Simbo suchen:Ein ruhiges, stabiles Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen,• ohne Kinder• ohne andere Hunde im Haushalt• mit klarer Führung, Geduld und VerantwortungsbewusstseinMenschen, die bereit sind, ihn souverän zu begleiten und ihm Sicherheit geben.Abgabegrund:Schweren Herzens müssen wir Simbo aus gesundheitlichen Gründen abgeben.

About Simbo

What life with Simbo looks like

Simbo is a small adult dog waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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 Simbo, answered.

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