Adopt Tom

Male · Adult · 6 years

Tom came to us in 2020 with three siblings and its mother from very, very bad husbandry, back then they were still very small. Its mother sadly passed away last year but she reached a proud age. Tom is, like its siblings, very greedy and quite cheeky. When food comes into the enclosure, it is practically attacked. Tom will stay with its siblings and lives a happy life on our small farm. We would be very grateful for sponsors for Tom.

Tom kam 2020 mit drei Geschwistern und seiner Mutter aus sehr, sehr schlechter Haltung zu uns, damals waren sie noch klein. Ihre Mutter ist letztes Jahr leider gestorben, aber sie hat ein stolzes Alter erreicht.Tom ist, wie seine Geschwister, sehr verfressen und ziemlich frech. Wenn man mit Futter ins Gehege kommmt, wird man regelrecht überfallen. Tom wird mit seinen Geschwistern bei uns bleiben und lebt ein glückliches Leben auf unserem kleinen Bauernhof. Wir würden uns sehr über Paten für Tom freuen.

About Tom

What life with Tom looks like

Tom is a small adult animal waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Tom far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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 Tom, answered.

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