Timo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

- friendly with primary caregiver - be cautious with strangers/men - must still be trained - not suitable for very young children Timo lives by the motto: "A smile in the morning dispels sorrow and worry." The initially reserved male dog is a real grin machine with his trusted people. He enjoys being scratched and appreciates the affection from those who like him. That's why we are now looking for a home for Timo, one that gives him the love he deserves. At the same time, he needs rules and boundaries - because regulating himself is still difficult for him, which is evident in his impulsive behavior. Due to this, he will not be rehomed with very young children. This behavior must be addressed and worked on in his new family.

DE·Show original

Timo lebt nach dem Motto: "Ein Lächeln am Morgen vertreibt Kummer und Sorgen". Der anfangs zurückhaltende Rüde ist bei seinen Bezugspersonen eine richtige Grinsebacke. Gerne lässt er sich kraulen und genießt die Zuneigung von Menschen, die er mag. Deswegen suchen wir nun ein Zuhause für Timo, das ihm die Liebe gibt, die er verdient. Gleichzeitig braucht er auch Regeln und Grenzen - denn sich selbst zu regulieren fällt ihm noch schwer, was sich in ungestümem Verhalten äußert. Aufgrund dessen wird er nicht zu kleinen Kindern vermittelt. An diesem Verhalten muss in seiner neuen Familie weitergearbeitet werden. Wenn Sie unserem Timo ein fürsorgliches Zuhause schenken möchten, schicken Sie bitte Ihre ausgefüllte Selbstauskunft an: (Für die Adresse JavaScript anschalten). 17.04.2026 (msp)

About Timo

What life with Timo looks like

Timo is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein in Hamburg.

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 Timo, answered.

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