Adopt Toby

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Toby kommt ursprünglich aus Rumänien und hatte leider auch hier in Deutschland bisher nicht viel Glück. Er stammt aus einem Animal Hoarding Haushalt, aus dem wir ihn sehr adipös übernommen haben. Der freundliche Rüde zeigt sich anfangs bei fremden Menschen ein wenig unsicher und hält erstmal Abstand, er taut aber doch recht schnell auf und lässt sich dann auch gerne anfassen. Toby kennt es wahrscheinlich nicht, als Einzelhund zu leben, daher können wir uns gut vorstellen, ihn zu einem passenden Ersthund zu vermitteln. Die Wohngegend sollte nicht zu turbulent sein, da der unsichere Rüde vermutlich bisher nicht das typisch städtische Leben in Deutschland kennengelernt hat. Um sein Idealgewicht wieder zu erreichen, benötigt Toby regelmäßige Bewegung und ein sinnvolles Fütterungsmanagement. Ansonsten ist der Mischling umgänglich und pflegeleicht, er wäre sicherlich auch für Anfänger geeignet, wenn ein gewisses Verständnis für unsichere Hunde vorhanden ist. Wenn Sie Interesse an einem unserer Hunde haben, kontaktieren Sie uns bevorzugt per E-Mail. Schildern Sie uns in der Mail, wie der Hund bei Ihnen leben wird und senden Sie uns eine Telefonnummer zu. Es wird sich dann ein*e TierpflegerIn bei Ihnen melden. Tierbeschreibungen basieren auf Beobachtungen im Tierheim oder auf Informationen Dritter und stellen keine zugesicherten Eigenschaften dar.

About Toby

What life with Toby looks like

Toby is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Leipzig in Leipzig.

An 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 Toby, answered.

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