Sissy

Unknown · Young · 1 year

Sissy came with two other gerbils and unfortunately did not get along with them. Upon her arrival at our shelter, she unfortunately had some bite wounds that needed to be treated. Fortunately, everything has healed well now, but her fur still needs to grow back a bit. Sissy is very curious and always likes to be involved, although she currently keeps a bit of a safety distance due to the treatment. In her new home, there should already be another friendly gerbil lady or a neutered male in a large enclosure with many activities waiting for her. Experience with socialization would be an advantage, but not a must. We would be happy to advise you in detail on the right approach.

DE·Show original

Sissy kam mit zwei weiteren Rennmäusen zu und, mit denen sie sich leider nicht verstand. Bei ihrer Ankunft bei uns, hatte sie leider einige Bissverletzungen, welche erstmal behandelt werden mussten. Zum Glück ist inzwischen alles gut abgeheilt, nur das Fell muss noch etwas nachwachsen. Sissy ist sehr neugierig und immer gerne mit dabei, wobei sie aktuell – durch die Behandlung – eher etwas Sicherheitsabstand einhält. In ihrem neuen Zuhause sollte bereits eine weitere nette Rennmausdame oder ein Kastrat in einem großen Gehege mit vielen Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten auf sie warten. Erfahrung mit Vergesellschaftungen wäre von Vorteil, aber kein Muss. Gerne Beraten wir Sie eingehend zum richtigen Vorgehen.

About Sissy

What life with Sissy looks like

Sissy is a large young adult animal waiting at Tierheim Bonn in Bonn.

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

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