Adopt Tammy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Somewhat reserved, but compatible. The little Tammy has already lived in a foster home for some time and has made great progress there - nonetheless, he is an insecure young dog who is also in the middle of puberty. Tammy is quiet in the house, doesn’t break anything, and is already house-trained and does well in the car. He also generally walks nicely on a leash – at least, if he doesn’t meet anyone; ) Other dogs are, however, initially teased, and he also doesn’t particularly like children – they scare him. In general, he finds strangers spooky and feels much safer with his canine companion, which is why he should have a cool, confident canine friend at his side in his new home. Generally, Tammy is, in fact, a very compatible dog with other dogs. With people, he selects his primary caregiver, and then he is playful, silly, and cuddly. He demands attention, too. Children should not live in his home, and it shouldn’t be too cozy. In short: Tammy wishes for a quiet home with a canine friend. He needs people who know about dogs and can bring him closer to the rules of dog etiquette and not get discouraged when his pubescent ears are on full display. Additionally, they shouldn’t expect the little guy to run into their arms gleefully on the first visit; a longer get-to-know-you period should be planned. With loving consistency and training, Tammy will develop quickly. Anyone who would like to meet the little Tammy can contact his foster parent.

etwas zurückhaltend, verträglich Der kleine Tammy lebt schon seit einer Pflegestelle und hat dort auch schon große Fortschritte gemacht - nichtsdestotrotz ist er ein eher unsicherer Junghund, der sich zudem mitten in der Pubertät befindet. Tammy ist in der Wohnung ruhig, macht nichts kaputt und ist bereits stubenrein und fährt gut im Auto mit. Auch an der Leine läuft er grundsätzlich gut - zumindest, wenn er niemanden trifft ;- ) Andere Hunde werden nämlich erstmal angepöbelt und Kinder mag er auch nicht besonders - sie machen ihm einfach Angst. Generell findet er fremde Menschen eher spooky und fühlt sich mit seinem Hundekollegen deutlich sicherer, weshalb er in seinem neuen Zuhause auch einen coolen, souveränen Hundefreund an seiner Seite haben soilte. Grundsätzlich ist Tammy nämlich ein mit anderen Hunden sehr gut verträglicher Hund. Bei Menschen sucht er sich seine Bezugsperson, da ist er lustig, verspielt und auch verschmust. Er fordert die Aufmerksamkeit dann auch schonmal nachdrücklich ein. Kinder sollten nicht in seinem Zuhause leben und es sollte auch nicht zu trubelig sein. Kurzum: Tammy wünscht sich ein ruhiges Zuhause mit Hundefreund. Er braucht Menschen, die sich mit Hunden auskennen und ihm den Hunde-Knigge näher bringen und sich auch dann nicht entmutigen lassen, wenn seine Pubertätsohren sich einfach auf Durchzug stellen. Zudem sollten sie nicht erwarten, dass der kleine Kerl ihnen beim ersten Besuch gleich freudestrahlend in die Arme fliegt, ein etwas längeres Kennenlernen sollte eingeplant werden. Mit liebevoller Konsequenz und Training wird Tammy sich schnell weiter entwickeln. Wer den kleinen Tammy gern einmal kennenlernen möchte, kann sich gern bei seiner Vermittlerin melden.

About Tammy

What life with Tammy looks like

Tammy is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt in Essen.

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 Tammy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tammy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tammy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tammy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 Tammy 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 Tammy 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 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tammy 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.
