Timon

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Adult · 8 years

The friendly mixed-breed Staffordshire Terrier Timon arrived at the animal shelter on April 3, 2025, through a seizure. Here he presents himself openly to his trusted people, enjoys walking with them, and relishes their generous cuddles. Toward fellow animals, the neutered male dog generally behaves well. For Timon, who was born on June 15, 2018, we are seeking a quiet home with experienced dog owners—preferably ground-floor and without small children. As a mixed-breed Staffordshire Terrier, Timon is classified as a so-called Paragraph 3 dog according to the State Dog Law NRW due to his breed affiliation. This means that for him, a muzzle and leash are required.

Der freundliche Mix-Staffordshire-Terrier Timon kam am 3. April 2025 durch eine Sicherstellung ins Tierheim. Hier präsentiert er sich gegenüber seinen Bezugspersonen aufgeschlossen, ist gerne mit ihnen unterwegs und genießt deren ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten. Gegenüber Artgenossen verhält sich der kastrierte Rüde in der Regel recht gut. Für Timon, der am 15. Juni 2018 geboren ist, suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause bei erfahrenen Hundehaltern – gerne ebenerdig und ohne kleine Kinder. Als Mix-Staffordshire-Terrier ist Timon laut Landeshundegesetz NRW ausschließlich wegen seiner Rassezugehörigkeit als sog. Paragraph-3-Hund eingestuft. Das bedeutet, dass für ihn Maulkorb- und Leinenpflicht besteht.

About Timon

What life with Timon looks like

Timon is a large adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Tierheim Münster in Münster.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Timon, answered.

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