Tommy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Tommy (around 10 kg) shows no signs of his age. With his cheerful nature and plenty of energy, he eagerly dives into every new adventure, bringing smiles to everyone's faces. He is a thoroughly lovable guy – always friendly, open, and gets along well with other animals. Leash training still needs some work. Tommy has a thyroid deficiency and takes his medication twice a day – but he is well-adjusted and can enjoy his life just fine.

Tommy (ca. 10 kg) lässt sich sein Alter kaum anmerken. Mit seiner fröhlichen Art und ganz viel Energie stürzt er sich neugierig in jedes neue Abenteuer und bringt dabei einfach alle zum Lächeln. Er ist ein durch und durch lieber Kerl – stets freundlich, aufgeschlossen und gut mit Artgenossen verträglich. An der Leinenführung darf noch ein wenig gearbeitet werden. Tommy hat eine Schilddrüsenunterfunktion und bekommt deshalb zweimal täglich seine Tabletten – damit ist er aber gut eingestellt und kann sein Leben ganz normal genießen. Tommy kam gemeinsam mit seiner Partnerin Stella zu uns, eine gemeinsame

About Tommy

What life with Tommy looks like

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

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 Düsseldorf 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 Düsseldorf 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 Düsseldorf 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.
