How do I contact the shelter about Timmy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Julias Tierheim Ahaus handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Timmy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Timmy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Julias Tierheim Ahaus 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 Timmy 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 Timmy 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 Julias Tierheim Ahaus early rather than rehoming privately; they know Timmy and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Timmy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

The small Chihuahua male dog Timmy was found in Steinfurt and is now searching for his greatest happiness. When the charming Chihuahua male dog finally builds trust, he shows his huge heart. He is a loyal companion who would rather spend every second in the company of his person. After the getting-to-know-you phase, he doesn't leave his primary caregiver's side, though he prefers women 😉 At his primary caregiver's place, he can already walk without a leash outside, but he still needs dog-experienced people because not all men are suitable. Timmy is cautious and would prefer a quiet home with a single primary caregiver. The little one lives with us in the office and is not fond of being touched by strangers, and he requires management during visitor situations. Are you looking for a small companion, are dog-experienced, and want to meet Timmy? Then please contact us for a visit. Note: If you click on one of the following links, you will be directed to the corresponding page, where different privacy policies may apply. Daily, including weekends and holidays:

About Timmy

What life with Timmy looks like

Timmy is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Julias Tierheim Ahaus in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
