Tom

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Tom – clever young dog wants to be part of a family Tom was found with five other puppies on a field, far from any human settlement. It is very likely that the little dogs were simply abandoned and left to their fate. When they were discovered, the puppies were in no good condition – hungry and thirsty, full of fleas and worms. Luckily, they could be secured quickly and moved together to a loving foster family. There, they finally received the care and attention they so desperately needed. By now, Tom and his siblings have recovered wonderfully. Tom has also developed very well on his foster home and has already learned a lot. He is an intelligent, open-minded boy who already knows the house rules and walks nicely on a leash. Among his siblings, Tom likes to take on the role of little leader. He loves to play and romp with his siblings and discover something new every day. With patience, love and shared time, Tom will surely become a faithful companion for life. For Tom, we wish an active home where he can settle in and get used to it in peace. People who enjoy showing a young dog the world, training with him and giving him a loving, permanent home. Tom is neutered. Tom is currently living in a foster home in Vukovar/Croatia. Tom is loving, playful, curious and active. As is typical for a young dog, Tom is curious, playful and full of joie de vivre.

Tom – kluger Junghund möchte Teil einer Familie werden Tom wurde zusammen mit fünf weiteren Welpen auf einem Feld, fernab von jeder menschlichen Siedlung, gefunden. Sehr wahrscheinlich wurden die kleinen Hunde dort einfach ausgesetzt und ihrem Schicksal überlassen. Als sie entdeckt wurden, waren die Welpen in keinem guten Zustand – hungrig und durstig, voller Flöhe und Würmer. Zum Glück konnten sie schnell gesichert werden und gemeinsam in eine liebevolle Pflegefamilie ziehen. Dort bekamen sie endlich die Versorgung und Fürsorge, die sie so dringend brauchten. Mittlerweile haben sich Tom und seine Geschwister wunderbar erholt. Auch Tom hat sich auf seiner Pflegestelle sehr gut entwickelt und schon einiges gelernt. Er ist ein intelligenter, aufgeschlossener Junge, der die Hausregeln bereits kennt und schon recht ordentlich an der Leine läuft. Unter seinen Geschwistern übernimmt Tom gerne die Rolle des kleinen Anführers. Am liebsten tobt und spielt er mit seinen Geschwistern und entdeckt jeden Tag etwas Neues. Mit Geduld, Liebe und gemeinsamer Zeit wird Tom ganz sicher ein treuer Begleiter fürs Leben werden. Für Tom wünschen wir uns ein aktives Zuhause, in dem man ihm die Zeit gibt, in Ruhe anzukommen und sich einzuleben. Menschen, die Freude daran haben, einem jungen Hund weiterhin die Welt zu zeigen, mit ihm zu trainieren und ihm ein liebevolles, dauerhaftes Zuhause zu schenken. Tom ist kastriert. Aktuell lebt Tom in Pflegestelle in Vukovar/Kroatien. Tom ist liebevoll, verspielt, neugierig und aktiv. Wie es sich für einen jungen Hund gehört, ist Tom neugierig, verspielt und voller Lebensfreude.

About Tom

What life with Tom looks like

Tom is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Pfotentraum Chance auf Leben e.V. in Linden.

A young 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. 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. Tierhilfe Pfotentraum Chance auf Leben 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 — Tierhilfe Pfotentraum Chance auf Leben 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. 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 Tierhilfe Pfotentraum Chance auf Leben 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.
