Twister

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 5 months

Twister is a cheerful little puppy who taps through life with curiosity and currently wants one thing above all: to play, discover and not miss out on anything. He has yet to find out that the world is much bigger than his animal shelter. Therefore, a home of his own means many first times for Twister. Living in a house for the first time, going for real walks, driving in a car, getting to know household noises, becoming house trained and eventually learning that you can't always be there. For this, we are looking for people who bring time and patience and take puppy chaos with humor. We can't predict exactly how big Twister will be later. However, his appearance suggests that a hunting dog was involved in his creation. His start in the animal shelter was unfortunately less fun. Twister and his four siblings were thrown over the fence at night into a pen with large dogs. The surveillance camera recorded the people, their derogatory comments and the license plate. The case is with the authorities. Twister is named after the ice cream flavor Twister. Taste direction Whirlwind and quite sweet. A bit of excitement is part of the puppy age, after all. Twister is vaccinated, dewormed, chipped and has a European pet passport. What requirements do you need to adopt Twister? How does an adoption work? We explain it step by step. We do not mediate to Austria for legal reasons. Other neighboring countries are possible by arrangement.

Twister ist ein fröhlicher kleiner Welpe, der neugierig durchs Leben tapselt und aktuell vor allem eines möchte: spielen, entdecken und möglichst nichts verpassen. Dass die Welt noch sehr viel größer ist als sein Tierheim, muss er erst noch herausfinden. Für Twister bedeutet ein eigenes Zuhause deshalb ganz viele erste Male. Zum ersten Mal im Haus leben, richtig spazieren gehen, Auto fahren, Haushaltsgeräusche kennenlernen, stubenrein werden und irgendwann auch lernen, dass man nicht immer überall dabei sein kann. Dafür suchen wir Menschen, die Zeit und Geduld mitbringen und Welpenchaos eher mit Humor nehmen. Wie groß Twister später einmal wird, können wir nicht genau vorhersagen. Seine Optik lässt aber vermuten, dass ein Jagdhund an seiner Entstehung beteiligt war. Sein Start im Tierheim war leider weniger lustig. Twister und seine vier Geschwister wurden nachts über den Zaun in ein Gehege mit großen Hunden geworfen. Die Überwachungskamera zeichnete die Menschen, ihre abfälligen Kommentare und das Kennzeichen auf. Der Fall liegt bei den Behörden. Twister ist nach dem gleichnamigen Eis benannt. Geschmacksrichtung Wirbelwind und dabei ziemlich süß. Ein bisschen aufgedreht gehört schließlich zum Welpenalter dazu. Twister ist geimpft, entwurmt, gechipt und hat einen europäischen Heimtierausweis. Welche Voraus­setzungen brauchst Du, um Twister zu adoptieren? Wie läuft eine Adoption ab? Wir erklären es Schritt für Schritt. Wir vermitteln aus gesetzlichen Gründen nicht nach Österreich. Andere Nachbarländer sind nach Absprache möglich.

About Twister

What life with Twister looks like

Twister is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Sonnenpfoten e.V. in Lenningen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Twister, answered.

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