Tim

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 11 months

Tim hasn’t been at our animal shelter very long yet and is initially still reserved, somewhat insecure, and a bit clumsy. Once he gets to know you better, he warms up and tries to connect with people through playful invitations. Tim is simply a typical young dog with little experience and now needs patient, calm people who have time for him and can show him everything he needs to get started in his daily dog life. Tim also doesn’t like being left alone, so an older, experienced canine companion would be just right for him. Why not stop by the animal shelter sometime and get to know him better? Mixed breed, born 11/1. This animal is not yet neutered/spayed.

DE·Show original

Tim ist anfangs noch zurückhaltend und auch etwas unsicher und unbeholfen. Bei näherem Kennenlernen taut er auf und versucht mit seinen Spielaufforderungen Kontakt zum Menschen aufzunehmen. Tim ist eben ein typischer Junghund mit wenig Erfahrung und braucht nun geduldige und ruhige Menschen, die für ihn Zeit haben und ihm alles zeigen was er für den Start in seinem Hundealltag braucht. Für Tim wäre es super wenn er mit einem entspannten Hundekumpel zusammen wohnen könnte. Mischling, geb. 1.11.2025, nicht kastriert

About Tim

What life with Tim looks like

Tim is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tim, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tim?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tim on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tim if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tim 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 Tim 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 Tierschutzverein SOM e.V. (Tierheim Pfaffengrün) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tim 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.
