Sushi

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Sushi is looking for a new home after the death of her friend in early June. Sushi is 7.5 years old and is a lively, dominant, and extremely curious mouse who held the alpha position in her previous group. No illness is known to affect her. However, Sushi is missing a claw on one front paw, which she injured as a baby. She is familiar with humans, very fit, and lively, and enjoys spending her time on swings, roundabouts, and similar enrichment materials. Given her confident personality, I assume she will not easily submit to a new group and will likely try to maintain her accustomed position. Therefore, I would be very happy if she could be rehomed with someone experienced in the socialization of degus. Currently, Sushi resides in 64584 Biebesheim, but can also be transported up to 50-60 kilometers.

Sushi sucht nach dem Tod ihrer Freundin Anfang Juni ein neues Zuhause. Sushi ist 7,5 Jahre alt und sie ist eine lebhafte, dominante und äußerst neugierige Maus, die in ihrer bisherigen Gruppe die Alphaposition eingenommen hat.Bei ihr ist keine Krankheit bekannt. Sushi fehlt jedoch eine Kralle an der Vorderpfote, die sie sich als Baby ausgerissen hat. Im Umgang mit Menschen ist sie vertraut, sehr fit und munter und verbringt ihre Zeit besonders gerne auf Schaukeln, Drehscheiben und ähnlichem Beschäftigungsmaterial.Aufgrund ihres selbstbewussten Charakters gehe ich davon aus, dass sie sich in einer neuen Gruppe nicht ohne Weiteres unterordnen wird, sondern versuchen wird ihre gewohnte Stellung zu behaupten. Ich würde mich daher sehr freuen, wenn sie an jemanden mit Erfahrung in der Vergesellschaftung von Degus vermittelt werden könnte. Aktuell wohnt Sushi in 64584 Biebesheim, kann aber auch 50/60 Kilometer entgegengebracht werden.

About Sushi

What life with Sushi looks like

Sushi 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 Sushi 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 Sushi, answered.

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