Willy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

I-No.: w-korfu-willy-m-0825 Update October 2025: Willy is an extremely cheerful, curious, and open-minded dog who is simply a joy to be around. Good cheer is guaranteed with him. We wish for him to follow in his brother's footsteps and move into a loving home where he can learn the ABCs of dog life. Willy already knows how to walk on a leash and has shown himself to be a pleasant companion during walks. August 2025: Phil & Willy are the puppies of Maya - they were repeatedly spotted near the animal shelter on the main road. Unfortunately, a third puppy was hit by a car before the little family could be taken in by the animal shelter. We are glad that at least the three are now safe. Willy is about 4-5 months old and currently around 48cm tall. He is friendly with other dogs and people. As is typical for a puppy, he is very playful and loves to be petted :) All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped, and have an EU pet passport.

I-Nr.: w-korfu-willy-m-0825 Update Juli 2026: Willy ist kein Hund, der sich in den Vordergrund drängt. Im Tierheim geht er ein bißchen unter - es ist so schade, dass er schon von Welpe an auf seine Chance wartet. Er zeigt sich im Tierheim verträglich mit anderen Hunden beiderlei Geschlechts. Willy wiegt aktuell etwa 21kg. Update Oktober 2025: Willy ist ein äußerst fröhlicher, neugieriger und aufgeschlossener Hund, der einfach Spaß macht. Bei ihm ist gute Laune vorprogrammiert. Wir wünschen uns, dass er es seinem Bruder gleich tun und in ein liebevolles Zuhause ziehen darf, wo ihm das 1x1 des Hundelebens beigebracht wird. Willy kennt es auch schon, an der Leine zu laufen und hat sich beim Spaziergang als angenehmer Begleiter gezeigt. August 2025: Phil & Willy sind die Welpen von Maya - sie wurden immer wieder in der Nähe des Tierheims auf der Hauptstraße gesichtet. Leider wurde ein dritter Welpe überfahren, bevor die kleine Familie im Tierheim aufgenommen werden konnte. Wir sind froh, dass wenigstens die 3 nun in Sicherheit sind. Willy ist ca. 4-5 Monate alt und aktuell etwa 48cm groß. Er ist freundlich mit anderen Hunden und Menschen. Welpentypisch ist der Bub sehr verspielt und lässt sich gerne kraulen :) Alle Hunde sind erstgeimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Heimtierausweis. 20260805 03 Willy August 2026 20260805 02 Willy August 2026

About Willy

What life with Willy looks like

Willy is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Korfu e.V. in Ratingen.

An young 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 Willy, answered.

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