Sunny

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Sunny was born on December 19, 2024. She loves to cuddle and seeks close human companionship. She enjoys playing with other dogs. She’s somewhat sensitive when it comes to her food—there are certain things she doesn’t tolerate—but we’re not yet entirely sure exactly what those are. Still, she’s not very picky about her food. She loves playing with her family, playing tug-of-war, and fetching balls (though retrieving the ball back isn’t quite perfect yet). She’s an active dog who loves to romp around outdoors with other dogs but can also relax comfortably at home. She’s used to car rides, and she’s already familiar with grooming—both fur and nail care—but these still make her a bit uncomfortable, so you’ll need to be very patient. She’s also quite comfortable taking showers, though she doesn’t particularly enjoy them. She hasn’t had any experience with children yet. My contact details are:

Sunny ist am 19.12.2024 geboren. Sie kuschelt gerne und sucht die Nähe zum Menschen. Sie liebt es mit anderen Hunden zu spielen. Sie ist etwas empfindlich was ihr Futter angeht, also manches verträgt sie nicht, da sind wir uns aber auch noch nicht genau sicher was. Sie ist aber nicht sehr wählerisch was ihr Futter angeht. Sie liebt es mit ihrer Familie zu spielen, Tauziehen und Ball apportieren (wobei das zurück bringen noch nicht so gut klappt). Sie ist ein aktiver Hund der gerne Viel mit Hunden draußen tobt aber auch Zuhause entspannen kann. Sie kennt sich mit Autofahrten aus und ihr ist Fell- und Krallenpflege schon bekannt, das ist ihr aber immer noch ein wenig unangenehm, also muss man sehr geduldig sein. Duschen kennt sie auch sehr gut. Gefällt ihr aber nicht so sehr. Sie hat noch keine Erfahrungen mit Kindern gemacht. Meine Kontaktdaten sind

About Sunny

What life with Sunny looks like

Sunny is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

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.

🇩🇪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 Paderborn 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 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 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 Paderborn 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.
