How do I contact the shelter about Tom (III)?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tom (III) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tom (III) if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 Tom (III) 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 Tom (III) 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tom (III) 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.

Tom (III)

Mixed Breed · Male

Breed: mixed breed, medium-sized compatibility with others: good with fellow animals Current location: animal shelter Pirot (Serbia) Tom is a loving and people-oriented, though somewhat insecure, dog. The shelter routine takes a toll on him, and he simply lacks everything. He needs walks, affection, and his belly filled with yummy food. On the leash, he is still quite insecure, but this can be worked on. When a person is calm and secure, he finds trust very quickly and can be led. Tom needs people who can give him security. He knows little except for life behind bars. Ideally, his new home will be in a rural area. A dog-safe enclosed yard should be available, where loving, well-socialized fellow animals can also live. Tom is a fantastic, loving dog who has never had the chance to show what a great guy he is inside. We would wish that the animal shelter is not his final destination. He is a young dog with his whole life ahead of him.

Rasse: Mischling, mittelgroß Verträglichkeit : Gut mit Artgenossen verträglich Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Pirot (Serbien) Tom ist ein lieber und menschenbezogener, wenn auch etwas unsicherer Hund. Der Tierheimalltag setzt ihm sehr zu und ihm fehlt es einfach an allem. Spaziergänge, Zuwendung, das Bäuchlein mal mit leckerem Futter gefüllt haben. An der Leine ist er noch recht unsicher, daran kann man gut arbeiten. Wenn man als Mensch jedoch ruhig und sicher ist, findet er sehr schnell Vertrauen und lässt sich führen. Tom braucht Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit geben können. Er kennt nicht viel außer dem Leben hinter Gittern. Idealerweise liegt sein neues Zuhause in einer ländlichen Umgebung. Ein hundesicher eingezäunter Garten sollte vorhanden sein. Dort dürfen gerne auch liebe, gut sozialisierte Artgenossen leben. Tom ist ein ganz toller, lieber Hund, der noch nie die Chance hatte, zu zeigen, was für ein toller Kerl in ihm steckt. Wir würden uns wünschen, dass das Tierheim nicht seine Endstation bleibt. Er ist ein junger Hund, der sein ganzes Leben noch vor sich hat.

About Tom (III)

What life with Tom (III) looks like

Tom (III) is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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.
