Speedy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Hello, unfortunately one of my degus recently passed away and now his brother Speedy is alone in the cage. Since he shouldn't be left alone, I would like to give him up for adoption. Speedy is between 3 and 4 years old. He is a very outgoing little guy, lets himself be stroked and lifted. He is healthy and fit. He likes to eat dandelion as well as fresh or dried. He loves pea flakes just the same. I would be happy if he could find a new home. A pickup would be preferred. The adoption will take place without a cage.

Hallo, leider ist vor kurzem einer meiner Degus verstorben und nun sitzt sein Bruder Speedy alleine im Käfig. Da er nicht alleine bleiben soll, möchte ich ihn gerne abgeben. Speedy ist zwischen 3 und 4 Jahren alt. Er ist ein sehr aufgeschlossenes Kerlchen, lässt sich streicheln und hochheben. Er ist gesund und fit. Er frisst gerne Löwenzahn sowohl frisch als getrocknet. Erbsenflocken liebt er genauso. Ich würde mich freuen wenn er ein neues Zuhause finden würde. Eine Abholung wäre bevorzugt. Die Abgabe erfolgt ohne Käfig.

About Speedy

What life with Speedy looks like

Speedy 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 Speedy 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 Speedy, answered.

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