Then contact Sonnenpfoten e.V. directly using the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar β Sonnenpfoten e.V. handles the adoption process, not TailHarbor.

Sonnenpfoten e.V. typically handles the vetting, chipping, and passport.

Is Sonnenpfoten e.V. a verified shelter on TailHarbor?
Sonnenpfoten e.V. is listed on TailHarbor based on data scraped from their own website, but TailHarbor has not yet manually verified the shelter's contact details. We recommend confirming details directly with the shelter before travelling for an adoption visit.
What is the adoption fee at Sonnenpfoten e.V.?
TailHarbor does not track adoption fees β they vary by animal and by shelter, and are set by Sonnenpfoten e.V. directly. Typical fees in Germany cover the animal's pre-adoption veterinary care (sterilization, vaccinations, microchip, pet passport). Contact Sonnenpfoten e.V. via the sidebar details for the exact fee for an animal you're interested in.
