Timmy

Male · Puppy

Timmy Timmy ist im Tierheim derzeit noch etwas ängstlich und unsicher. Er taut aber recht schnell auf und zeigt sich mit Menschen sehr nett. Er ist ein junger, verspielter Hund, der Kontakt mit Artgenossen sucht. Wir sind gerade dabei, einen Spielkameraden für ihn im Tierheim auszusuchen. Timmy hat bislang noch nicht viel gelernt. Er bleibt nicht gerne alleine und ist wohl auch noch nicht stubenrein. Mit ein wenig Erfahrung, Konsequenz und Geduld sollte man das aber hinbekommen. Wir glauben, dass es ihm gut tun würde, wenn in seinem neuen Zuhause ein souveräner Hund leben würde. Bei Interesse an einem unserer Hunde schreiben Sie bitte eine Mail an und teilen Sie dabei gleich ein paar Sachen mit, die für eine Hundevermittlung interessant sind: Erfahrungen mit Hunden; Wohnsituation; sind Kinder und/oder andere Tiere im Haushalt; wie lange muss der Hund tagsüber alleine bleiben. Bitte geben Sie für Rückfragen eine Telefonnummer an.

About Timmy

What life with Timmy looks like

Timmy is a puppy dog waiting at Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg 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 Timmy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Timmy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg 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 — Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg 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 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 Ria-Nickel-Tierheim Homburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Timmy 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.
