Adopt Tom

Mixed Breed · Male

Tom, male dog, born ca. July 2025, ca. 55 cm, was abandoned with his brother Jerry on the beach in Greece. A loving animal rescuer takes care of the two and calls them the "Indestructibles." They have been through thick and thin together, helping and protecting each other. They are very loving dogs – at first a bit shy – and it seems they haven't had good experiences with people so far. They are currently living in a deserted house and have made it their hideout. Our animal rescuer visits them every day – feeding and playing with them. Soon they will be neutered, medically attended to, and could then travel to their new families (even separately)……

Tom, Rüde, geb. ca. 07/2025, ca. 55 cm Tom wurde mit seinem Bruder Jerry am Strand in Griechenland ausgesetzt. Eine liebe Tierschützerin kümmert sich um die Beiden und nennt sie die „Unzertrennlichen“. Sie sind bisher gemeinsam durch dick und dünn gegangen, helfen und beschützen sich gegenseitig. Es sind ganz liebe Hunde – am Anfang etwas schüchtern – haben wohl bisher keine guten Erfahrungen mit Menschen gemacht. Sie leben zur Zeit in einem verlassenen Haus und haben dort ihren Unterschlupf. Unsere Tierschützerin geht jeden Tag zu ihnen – füttert und spielt mit ihnen. Bald werden sie kastriert, tierärztlich versorgt und könnten dann zu ihren neuen Familien reisen ( auch getrennt ) ……

About Tom

What life with Tom looks like

Tom is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Luftbrücke für Hunde e.V. in Krefeld.

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 Tom, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tom?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Luftbrücke für Hunde e.V. 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 — Luftbrücke für Hunde 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 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 Luftbrücke für Hunde e.V. 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.
