Adopt Toby

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

I-Number: w-korfu-toby-m-0326 Update April 2026: Berti and Toby are still waiting to be discovered by loving families. They are playful like puppies and very friendly boys. Toby is currently about 37cm tall and weighs 8.4kg. March 2026: Amber, Fine, Jacky, Berti & Toby came to the animal shelter with their mother Mia when they were just one day old. We are glad that we could give this little family a chance at a secure future. They are all absolutely charming and friendly, and the little rascals are appropriately playful for their age. The four brown-white puppies look like their mother and are expected to reach a similar size when fully grown - they currently weigh around 3kg. Brother Toby appears more like a cuckoo’s chick and currently weighs around 6kg - he will likely grow larger than his siblings (estimated to be around 15kg when fully grown, but of course this is without guarantee ;-)). All dogs have received their first vaccinations, are microchipped, and have an EU pet passport.

I-Nr.: w-korfu-toby-m-0326 Update April 2026: Berti und Toby warten noch darauf, von liebevollen Familien entdeckt zu werden. Sie sind welpentypisch verspielt und sehr freundliche Jungs. Toby ist aktuell um die 37cm groß bei 8,4kg Gewicht. März 2026: Amber, Fine, Jacky, Berti & Toby kamen zusammen mit ihrer Mama Mia ins Tierheim als sie gerade mal einen Tag alt waren. Wir sind froh, dass wir der kleinen Familie die Chance auf eine sichere Zukunft geben konnten. Sie sind allesamt ganz bezaubernd und freundlich und die kleinen Racker altersgerecht verspielt.Die 4 braun-weißen Welpen sehen aus wie ihre Mama und werden ausgewachsen vermutlich eine ähnliche Größe erreichen - aktuell wiegen sie um die 3kg. Bruder Toby wirkt dagegen wie ein Kuckuckskind und wiegt aktuell um die 6kg - er wird wohl etwas größer werden als seine Geschwister (geschätzt um die 15kg ausgewachsen, aber die Angabe ist natürlich ohne Gewähr ;-)). Alle Hunde sind erstgeimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Heimtierausweis. 20260404 10 Toby April 2026 20260404 09 Toby April 2026 20260404 08 Toby April 2026 20260404 07 Toby April 2026

About Toby

What life with Toby looks like

Toby is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Korfu e.V. in Ratingen.

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. 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. Tierhilfe Korfu e.V. 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 — Tierhilfe Korfu e.V. 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 Tierhilfe Korfu e.V. 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.
