Sunny

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

The pretty Sunny (born 01.06.2018, approx. 19.5 kg) is looking for experienced dog owners. Sunny behaves rather unobtrusively at the animal shelter and quickly finds access to new people, whom he then joyfully greets. He looks much younger than his age suggests, enjoys his walks, and lets experienced people lead him well during them. He gets along well with female dogs, but finds other male dogs rather annoying. He would be happy with a home that is more on the quiet side. Sunny is a faithful and loving dog who needs the right people to help him fully realize his potential. If you are an experienced dog owner and can offer Sunny a quiet home, then Sunny is the perfect companion for you.

DE·Show original

Der hübsche Sunny (geb. 01.06.2018 ca 19,5 kg ) sucht erfahrene Hundehalter. Sunny verhält sich eher unauffällig im Tierheim und findet schnell Zugang zu neuen Menschen, die er dann freudig begrüßt. Er wirkt viel jünger als es sein Alter vermuten lässt, genießt seine Spaziergänge und lässt sich dabei von erfahrene Menschen gut führen. Mit Hündinnen versteht er sich gut, nur andere Rüden findet er eher störend. Über ein Zuhause welches eher ruhig gelegen ist würde er sich freuen. Sunny ist ein treuer und liebevoller Hund, der die richtigen Menschen braucht, um sein volles Potenzial zu entfalten. Wenn Sie ein erfahrener Hundehalter sind und diesem tollen Hund ein ruhiges Zuhause bieten können, dann ist Sunny der perfekte Begleiter für Sie.

About Sunny

What life with Sunny looks like

Sunny is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf.

An young 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.

Note from the shelter: Prefers quiet environment, does not get along well with other male dogs

🇩🇪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 Sunny, answered.

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