Adopt Tommy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Tommy is a Great Schnauzer - Malinois Mix. 4 years old, neutered. He is a very strong and energetic dog, friendly towards people of all sizes. Leash training is not yet one of his strengths. Tommy needs training, guidance during dog encounters, he is friendly but the 50kg dog really wants to go to the other dog. Not every dog is happy about that. He can be alone and also enjoys car rides. Tommy is urgently looking for a new home because his owner unfortunately became seriously ill and can no longer properly care for him physically. Tommy can be met in Göttingen by arrangement. Cats should not live in the household due to the prey drive. Please contact us if you have any questions or are interested: Tel.:

Tommy ist ein Riesenschnauzer – Malinois Mix. 4 Jahre, kastriert. Er ist ein sehr starker und energiegelandener Hund, freundlich zu Menschen ob Groß oder Klein. Leinenführigkeit zählt noch nicht zu seinen Stärken. Tommy braucht Training, Anleitung bei Hunde Begegnungen, er ist dabei freundlich aber die 50kg möchten super gerne zum anderen Hund. Nicht jeden Hund freut das. Alleine bleiben kann er und auch Auto fahren findet Tommy toll. Tommy sucht dringend ein neues Zuhause da sein Besitzer leider schwer erkrankte und ihn körperlich nicht mehr gerecht werden kann. Er kann in Göttingen nach Absprache auch kennengelernt werden. Katzen sollten wegen dem Jagdtrieb nicht im Haushalt leben. Bei Fragen oder Interesse melden Sie sich gerne: Tel.:

About Tommy

What life with Tommy looks like

Tommy is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Northeim.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Tommy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tommy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Northeim handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tommy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tommy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Northeim 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 Tommy 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 Tommy 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 Tierheim Northeim early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tommy 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.
