How do I contact the shelter about Thorben?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Kleine & große Pfoten e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Thorben on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Thorben if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Kleine & große Pfoten 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 Thorben 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 Thorben 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 Kleine & große Pfoten e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Thorben 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.

Thorben

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Rüde – ca. 2 Jahre alt (Stand: März 2026) – ca 50cm, – kastriert Herkunft Dieser junge Rüde hat eine ganz besondere Geschichte. Zusammen mit seinen Geschwistern wurde Torben auf der Straße gefunden, ohne ihre Mama, die sich um sie kümmert. Es war wirklich kein leichter Start ins Leben für die kleinen Fellknäuel. Aber zum Glück haben sie nun eine Pflegestelle gefunden, die, obwohl sie sicherlich nicht perfekt ist, doch ein sicherer Hafen für sie ist. Dort können sie heranwachsen und darauf warten, ihre endgültigen Familien zu finden. Wesen Torben ist eine wunderbare kleine Seele. Er ist so zart und sanft, dass man sein Herz im Sturm erobern möchte. Zu Beginn ist er vielleicht etwas zurückhaltend, aber mit einfühlsamen Menschen öffnet er schnell sein Herz und lässt sich auf neue Abenteuer ein. Er sehnt sich nach Zuneigung und Geborgenheit und sucht einfach nur nach einem Ort, an dem er geliebt wird. Wie jeder Junghund hat auch Torben seine verspielte Seite. Er tobt herum, erkundet seine Umgebung und kuschelt sich gerne an seine Geschwister, um sich sicher zu fühlen. Er zeigt all die typischen Verhaltensweisen eines jungen Hundes und sucht nach einem liebevollen Zuhause, das ihm die Zeit, Geduld und das notwendige Feingefühl bieten kann, um zu einem fantastischen Familienhund heranzuwachsen. Für Thorben muss ein eingezäunter Garten vorhanden sein. Wenn du denkt, dass du dieses Zuhause sein kannst, dann bewirb dich über die Selbstauskunft für ihn. Torben kann es kaum erwarten, seine neuen Menschen kennenzulernen und endlich ein Zuhause zu finden, in dem er für immer geliebt wird. *Wir weisen ausdrücklich darauf hin dass sich Verhaltensweisen in einem neuen Umfeld nach einiger Zeit ändern können. Dies sollte bei jeder Adoption berücksichtigt werden!

About Thorben

What life with Thorben looks like

Thorben is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Kleine & große Pfoten e.V. in Germany (national, Bulgaria rescue focus).

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.
