Tom

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

On a cold and windy autumn day in early November '25, three tiny, very cute puppies were given up at the State animal shelter Bucharest. They were named Tom, Otis, and Loly, and given a number. They were placed in one of the countless cages and then forgotten. Until today. We now want to make these little mice visible and hope to find a home for the two cuddly brothers and their "little" sister quite soon. The day they were all three photographed was a first hopeful day in the life of these little puppy souls. You, dear animal friend, dear animal friend, can now look at the photos and form your own picture of these friendly dogs. That they are still a bit shy and don't know what's happening – who would be surprised. They know no life outside the cage, no life outside this huge hall. So it is all the more surprising that all three siblings can be stroked, touched, and have a collar put on. These are great basics for gentle and sensitive dog training in the new home, where, by the way, a nice dog buddy would be heartily welcome. The friendly Tom is more than ready to finally learn what a young puppy should learn. For example, the little doggie ABCs after he has settled in a bit. Tom longs so much for fresh air, sunshine, and warmth, after having survived a terribly cold first winter of his life. Tom should finally have his own dog bed and loving people around him who will take care of him and show him the world. Tom will give back what you have given him in terms of trust and patience. One day, he will lay his head in your lap, look up at you with wide eyes, and directly into your heart, and then you – his human – will smile and say: We made it, Tommy. Everything is good. All the best in the world to you, dear Tommy, and to your new human too. © 2006-2024 by animal welfare association Europa e.V. This is a young, adolescent dog.

An einem kühlen und windigen Herbsttag Anfang November ‘25 wurden drei winzige, sehr niedliche Welpen im Staatlichen Tierheim Bukarest abgegeben. Sie erhielten die Namen Tom, Otis und Loly und eine Nummer. Man steckte sie in einen der unzähligen Zwinger und dann wurden sie vergessen. Bis heute. Wir wollen diese kleinen Mäuse nun sichtbar machen und hoffen, für die beiden herzigen Brüder und ihre „kleine“ Schwester recht bald ein Zuhause zu finden.Der Tag, an dem alle drei fotografiert wurden, war ein erster hoffnungsvoller Tag im Leben dieser kleinen Hundeseelen. Die Fotos können Sie, lieber Tierfreund, liebe Tierfreundin nun anschauen und sich selbst ein Bild von diesen freundlichen Hunden machen. Dass sie noch etwas scheu sind und gar nicht wissen, wie ihnen geschieht – wen wunderts. Sie kennen kein Leben außerhalb des Zwingers, kein Leben außerhalb dieser riesigen Halle.Umso erstaunlicher ist es, dass sich alle drei Geschwister streicheln lassen, sich berühren lassen, ein Halsband umlegen lassen. Das sind tolle Basics für ein behutsames und einfühlsames Hundetraining im neuen Zuhause, in welchem ein netter Hundekumpel übrigens herzlich willkommen wäre. Der freundliche Tom ist mehr als bereit, endlich zu lernen, was so ein Junghund eben lernen sollte. Das kleine Hundeeinmaleins beispielsweise, nachdem er sich etwas eingelebt hat.Tom sehnt sich so sehr nach frischer Luft, Sonne und Wärme, nachdem er einen furchtbar kalten ersten Winter seines Lebens überstehen musste. Tom sollte endlich ein eigenes Körbchen haben und liebe Menschen um sich herum, die sich fürsorglich kümmern und ihm die Welt zeigen.Tom wird zurückgeben, was Sie ihm an Vertrauen und Geduld geschenkt haben. Eines schönen Tages wird er seinen Kopf in Ihren Schoß legen, nach oben blinzeln, direkt in Ihr Herz schauen und dann werden Sie – sein Mensch – lächeln und sagen: Wir haben es geschafft, Tommy. Alles ist gut. Alles Glück der Welt Dir, lieber Tommy. Und Deinen neuen Menschen auch. © 2006-2026 by Tierschutzverein Europa e.V. - All rights reserved

About Tom

What life with Tom looks like

Tom is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

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. 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. Tierschutzverein Europa 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 Europa 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 Tierschutzverein Europa 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.
