Sullivan

Mixed Breed · Male

Sullivan und seine 4 Geschwister wurden von ihrem Besitzer abgegeben. Die Mama war ungewollt trächtig geworden und nun wusste man nicht, wohin mit den Babies. Im Gegenzug konnte die Mama kastriert werden. Es sind insgesamt 3 Mädchen und 2 Jungs. Alle haben das typische Border Collie Aussehen, aber Sullivan tanzt etwas aus der Reihe. Er ist braun und hat auch nicht die grazile Figur der anderen. Er ähnelt eher einem Labrador. Auch Sullivan ist, wie sein Bruder, ein ruhiger, eher devoter Rüde. Er lässt sich anfassen und streicheln, kann es aber nicht so richtig genießen. Wir haben ihn während unseres Aufenthalts 3x besucht und bei jedem Besuch wurde er offener, neugieriger und vor allem zutraulicher. Am Schluss ließ er sich streicheln und lief auch nicht mehr weg. Wir suchen für Sullivan eine Familie, die ihm zeigt, wie schön das Leben sein kann. Er sollte liebevoll erzogen und gefördert werden. Wir würden uns auch über eine Pflegestelle freuen. Wir suchen Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung und Garten. Ein Hundekumpel, der Sullivan an die Pfote nimmt, wäre schön, ist aber kein Muss. Kinder sollten 12 Jahre oder älter sein und den verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Hunden kennen. Wenn Sie ein Körbchen frei haben, sei es auf Zeit oder für immer, dann nehmen Sie gerne Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport. Die Hunde reisen mit TRACES.

About Sullivan

What life with Sullivan looks like

Sullivan is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Sullivan, answered.

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