Tom

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Charming, lively and irresistible Tom was found on the street and taken to the animal shelter. We will never know the actual story of his life. We met Tom at the end of August and were simply thrilled by his energy, his joie de vivre, but also his affectionate nature. Tom loves life and even though he has to sleep in an old hut on the bare floor - he makes the best of it. He plays with his puppy friends and always shows himself to be very social. We are looking for a family or individual for the sweet guy who loves, promotes and never leaves him behind. Another dog can live in the family, but he can also be placed as a single prince. A garden would be nice where Tom can romp or lie in the sun to his heart's content. If you would like to learn more about Tom, please feel free to contact us. All dogs are chipped, vaccinated and travel with an EU passport in a transport registered with the German Veterinary Office.

Charmant, lebensfroh und unwiderstehlich Tom wurde auf der Straße gefunden und im Tierheim abgegeben. Wie tatsächlich seine Geschichte ist, werden wir nie erfahren. Wir haben Tom Ende August kennengelernt und waren einfach nur begeistert von seinem Elan, seiner Lebensfreude, aber auch seiner Verschmustheit. Tom liebt das Leben und wenn er auch in einer alten Hütte auf dem nackten Boden schlafen muss – er macht das Beste daraus. Er spielt mit seinen Welpenfreunden, und zeigt sich immer sehr sozial. Wir suchen für den süßen Kerl eine Familie oder Einzelperson, die ihn liebt, fördert und nie mehr im Stich lässt. Gerne kann ein weiterer Hund in der Familie leben, er kann aber auch als Einzelprinz vermittelt werden. Schön wäre ein Garten, wo Tom nach Herzenslust toben oder in der Sonne liegen kann Wenn Sie mehr über Tom erfahren möchten, nehmen Sie gerne Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport

About Tom

What life with Tom looks like

Tom is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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 — Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tom 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 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 Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde 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.
