How do I contact the shelter about Tommi?

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

Can I adopt Tommi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Freundeskreis Notfellchen 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 Tommi 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 Tommi 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 Freundeskreis Notfellchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tommi 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.

Tommi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

General Name: Tommi Gender: male dog neutered: Yes, in travel arrangements neutered Born approximately: 2020 Size approximately: 40 cm Accommodation: Shelter in Sighetu since May 2022 Sponsors: No Reserved: No Character Tommi appears to volunteers in the shelter as a very friendly, people-oriented and curious small male dog with a disability. Diagnosis: Patellar luxation, which is a knee injury. This can be due to an accident or be congenital. Unfortunately, we don't know which, as we don't know his past. Surgery was advised against, as he copes well with it. Naturally, this does not increase Tommi's chances of being rehomed, but nevertheless, the cheerful male dog deserves a real home. At 40 cm, he can fortunately also be carried sometimes, should this be necessary in the future. He is compatible with other animals and also cats! Past Nothing is known about his past. He probably comes from the street or was abandoned there. Notes The parent animals are unknown, so no information can be given about the breeds included. Gets along with other dogs.

About Tommi

What life with Tommi looks like

Tommi is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Freundeskreis Notfellchen e.V. in Dorsten.

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.
