How do I contact the shelter about Tommy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. 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 — Ein Freund fürs 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. 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 Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. 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.

Tommy

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

♂, born ca. 10/11/2025 puppy type - friendly - social Tommy is a male mixed-breed dog born around 10 or 11/2025 who is likely to grow large. Tommy is a young puppy who, despite his difficult start, is curious and open to the world. He was found in the depths of winter at minus 15 degrees on a city cemetery – a find that shows how desperately he needed protection. Today, Bernie is in safety and ready to finally settle in. Tommy knows little and must learn step by step how a household day-to-day works, how to settle down, how to orient himself to people, and how to handle new situations calmly. A home that gives him time, establishes clear routines, and guides him kindly but consistently will help him. In dealing with other animals, Tommy is social: He is compatible with dogs and cats and can therefore, if it all fits, also integrate into already existing four-legged friends. What is important is that his new people enjoy accompanying a puppy who still needs training, security, and lots of affection. For Tommy, we wish for a loving home that is aware that a puppy is not "finished" but means development – with small steps, setbacks, and a lot of shared bonding. Whoever gives Bernie this chance gets a loyal companion who gains more and more trust with each passing day. Tommy is vaccinated and microchipped and will be rehomed. For the Snap 4-D test and castration, he is still too young. He is located at the gates of Sofiia/Bulgarien. The adoption fee for Tommy is 480 Euro. Do you have a suitable home for Tommy?

♂, geb. ca. 10/11/2025welpentypisch - freundlich - sozialin Bulgarien Tommy ist ein ca. 10 oder 11/2025 geborener Mischlingsrüde der vermutlich groß werden wird. Tommy ist ein junger Welpe, der trotz seines schwierigen Starts neugierig und offen in die Welt schaut. Er wurde im tiefsten Winter bei minus 15 Grad auf einem Stadtfriedhof gefunden – ein Fund, der zeigt, wie dringend er Schutz gebraucht hat. Heute ist Bernie in Sicherheit und bereit, endlich anzukommen. Tommy kennt vieles noch nicht und muss Schritt für Schritt lernen, wie ein Alltag im Haus funktioniert, wie man zur Ruhe kommt, wie man sich an Menschen orientiert und wie man neue Situationen gelassen meistert. Dabei hilft ihm ein Zuhause, das ihm Zeit gibt, klare Routinen schafft und ihn freundlich, aber konsequent anleitet. Im Umgang mit anderen Tieren zeigt sich Tommy sozial: Er ist mit Hunden und Katzen verträglich und kann daher, wenn es insgesamt passt, auch zu bereits vorhandenen Vierbeinern ziehen. Wichtig ist vor allem, dass seine neuen Menschen Freude daran haben, einen Welpen zu begleiten, der noch Erziehung, Sicherheit und viel Zuwendung braucht. Für Tommy wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, das sich bewusst ist, dass ein Welpe nicht „fertig“ ist, sondern Entwicklung bedeutet – mit kleinen Fortschritten, Rückschritten und ganz viel gemeinsamer Bindung. Wer Bernie diese Chance gibt, bekommt einen treuen Begleiter, der mit jedem Tag mehr Vertrauen fasst. Tommy wird geimpft und gechipt vermittelt. Für den Snap 4-D Test und die Kastration ist er noch zu jung. Er befindet sich vor den Toren von Sofiia/Bulgarien. Die Schutzgebühr für Tommy beträgt 480 Euro.

About Tommy

What life with Tommy looks like

Tommy is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Freund fürs Leben e.V. in Berlin.

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.
