How do I contact the shelter about Bon Jovi?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierfreunde Patras e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bon Jovi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bon Jovi if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierfreunde Patras 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 Bon Jovi 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 Bon Jovi 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 Tierfreunde Patras e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bon Jovi 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.

Bon Jovi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Bon Jovi lives in a pension in Patras / Greece. VIDEOS AVAILABLE !!! male dog/castrated born. ca. January 2021 Size: ca. 43 cm Update 11.01.2026 As seen on the new photos, Bon Jovi is actually much smaller than he appears in the photos. He wishes so much for his own family. Bon Jovi used to live with a female dog together with a man in Patras. There, the dogs were rather free, they roamed the streets during the day and returned home at some point. Their owner passed away, however, and both dogs were brought to the city animal shelter. This was over two years ago. Since then, Bon Jovi has been in a small pen, sharing it with another male dog. Last week, Maria took Bon Jovi out of the animal shelter and placed him in a pension. Now he lives with our Yuma and has at least more space, exercise, and finally grass under his paws. With our help, he is now on the search for a real home. Maria describes Bon Jovi as a quiet, well-behaved male dog who is initially a bit afraid. He is compatible with fellow animals, but compatibility with others with cats is not known. He requires dog-experienced people who give him enough time to settle in and let him come to them in his own time. Bon Jovi is already neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and has an EU pet passport. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations. Gets along with other dogs.

Bon Jovi lebt in einer Pension in Patras / Griechenland.VIDEOS VORHANDEN !!! Rüde/kastriertgeb. ca. Januar 2021 Grösse : ca. 43 cm Update 11.01.2026 Wie auf den neuen Fotos zu sehen, ist Bon Jovi tatsächlich deutlich kleiner, als er auf den Fotos aussieht. Er wünscht sich so sehr seine eigene Familie. Bon Jovi lebte früher mit einer Hündin zusammen bei einem Mann in Patras. Dort waren die Hunde recht frei, sie liefen tagsüber in den Straßen herum und kehrten irgendwann nach Hause zurück. Ihr Besitzer verstarb jedoch und beide Hunde wurden in das städtische Tierheim gebracht. Das ist über zwei Jahre her. Seitdem saß Bon Jovi in einem kleinen Zwinger, den er sich mit einem Rüden geteilt hat. Letzte Woche hat Maria Bon Jovi aus dem Tierheim geholt und in einer Tierpension untergebracht. Jetzt lebt er mit unserer Yuma zusammen und hat zumindest mehr Platz, Auslauf und endlich auch wieder Gras unter seinen Pfoten. Mit unserer Hilfe macht er sich nun auf die Suche nach einem richtigen Zuhause. Maria beschreibt Bon Jovi als einen ruhigen, braven Rüden, der anfangs etwas ängstlich ist. Er ist verträglich mit Artgenossen, die Verträglichkeit mit Katzen ist nicht bekannt. Er benötigt hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihm genug Zeit zum Eingewöhnen geben und ihn in Ruhe ankommen lassen. Bon Jovi ist bereits kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und hat einen EU-Heimtierausweis.

About Bon Jovi

What life with Bon Jovi looks like

Bon Jovi is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde Patras e.V. in Ratingen.

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.
