Toto

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

male Bichon Born ca. 2020 Found animal neutered [] yes / no In the animal shelter since 07.05.2026 ________________________ The little Toto was picked up in the evening on the road that leads from Oberweimar to Kehna, just before Kehna, as he was running freely on the street. All circumstances point to the fact that he was abandoned. Toto is a very affectionate dog, loves his trusted people more than anything, immediately seeks a cuddle when he gets used to someone, and can never get enough of it. He generally suits well as a family dog, but children should be gentle and considerate in their dealings with him. He seems to have a bit of a catch-up in socialization, but he is generally clever, alert, and would be very happy not only to be understood as a little white snuggle dog but also to be mentally challenged and supported. In certain situations of strong pressure and manipulation, such as during a vet visit or the treatment of an ear infection he brought with him, Toto can sometimes become hysterically panicky. Here, we wish for him calming handling and also the gradual building of more relaxation through "Medical Training." Toto is very sovereign and exceptionally compatible with female dogs and could very much like to be a second dog. With neutered male dogs, he shows himself also cool, but with unneutered boys, he likes to make a scene. Outdoors, Toto accompanies his people well on the leash, can sometimes also be a bit stubborn and obstinate. Toto obviously has large loss anxieties. Upon arrival with us, he bellowed almost non-stop for days, even weeks, as long as he could not be in direct proximity to a primary caregiver. In the meantime, he has more trust in his situation and is more relaxed. However, his home should be aware that being left alone with him is likely not a self-runner and must be set up well. With a calm female dog at his side, it would probably be much easier! At our place – perhaps also motivated by the many other dogs, especially male dogs – Toto tends to mark everywhere in the inner yard. We wish Toto that he finds soon responsible, loving people who do not leave him behind! ________________________ (As of 29.04.2026) (Click images to see them in full size!) The description gives the current status, but we reserve the right to make changes or new assessments. It can always happen that an animal shows or develops differently due to changed circumstances both here in the animal shelter and in the new home. Gets along with other dogs.

reserviert männlich Bichon Geboren ca. 2020 Fundtier Kastriert [] ja / nein Im Tierheim seit 07.05.2026 ________________________ Der kleine Toto wurde abends an der Straße, die von Oberweimar nach Kehna führt, kurz vor Kehna aufgegriffen, da er frei an der Straße lief. Alle Umstände deuten darauf hin, dass er ausgesetzt wurde. Toto ist ein sehr anhänglicher Hund, liebt seine Bezugspersonen über alles, wird sofort zum Schmuser, wenn er sich an jemanden gewöhnt hat und kann dann gar nicht genug kriegen. Er eignet sich grundsätzlich gut als Familienhund, Kinder sollten aber sanft und rücksichtsvoll im Umgang mit ihm sein. Er scheint ein bisschen Nachholbedarf in der Sozialisierung zu haben, zeigt sich aber grundsätzlich clever, aufgeweckt und würde sich sehr freuen, nicht nur als kleiner weißer Kuschelhund verstanden zu werden, sondern auch mental gefordert und gefördert zu werden. In bestimmten Situationen starker Bedrängung und Manipulation, z.B. beim Tierarztbesuch oder bei der Behandlung einer Ohrentzündung, die er mitgebracht hat, wird Toto mitunter hysterisch-panisch, hier wünschen wir ihm beruhigenden Umgang und gerne auch kleinschrittig den Aufbau von mehr Entspannung durch „Medical Training“. Toto ist sehr souverän und ausgesprochen verträglich mit Hündinnen und könnte sehr gerne als Zweithund ausziehen. Mit kastrierten Rüden zeigt er sich auch cool, bei unkastrierten Jungs macht er aber gerne Theater. Draußen begleitet Toto seine Menschen gut an der Leine, kann dabei manchmal auch etwas eigensinnig und stur werden. Toto hat offensichtlich große Verlustängste. Nach Ankunft bei uns hat er tage-, sogar wochenland fast ununterbrochen durchgebellt, solange er nicht in direkter Nähe einer Bezugsperson sein konnte, inzwischen hat er mehr Vertrauen in seine Situation und ist entspannter. Dennoch sollte sein Zuhause beachten, dass das Alleinebleiben bei ihm vermutlich kein Selbstläufer ist und gut aufgebaut werden muss. Mit einer entspannten Hündin an seiner Seite wäre es aber vermutlich nochmal viel einfacher! Bei uns – vielleicht auch motiviert durch die vielen anderen Hunde, besonders Rüden – neigt Toto dazu, überall im Innenzwinger zu markieren. Wir wünschen Toto, dass er bald verantwortungsbewusste, liebe Menschen findet, die ihn nicht im Stich lassen! ________________________ (Stand 29.04.2026) (Bilder anklicken um sie in voller Größe zu sehen!) Die Beschreibung gibt den aktuellen Stand wieder, Änderungen oder Neueinschätzungen behalten wir uns aber vor. Es kann immer passieren, dass ein Tier sich aufgrund veränderter Umstände sowohl hier im Tierheim als auch im neuen Zuhause anders zeigt oder anders entwickelt.

About Toto

What life with Toto looks like

Toto is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Marburg in Marburg.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Toto, answered.

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