Eddie

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Senior · 10 years

Eddie spent his previous life in a Gypsy settlement and his scars speak to a not-so-easy life. But now all that should be behind him, for Eddie has more than earned the chance to be a little spoiled. Although Eddie is no longer a spry young fellow, he is still quite fit for his age and loves to play and go for walks. Eddie behaves very well, doesn’t pull on the leash, and is friendly towards both people and dogs. The little guy, however, knows how to defend himself if he is unfairly treated by other male dogs. We wish the lovable Eddie a home where he can finally sleep in peace and be loved by his family.

DE·Show original

Eddie hat sein bisheriges Leben in einer Zigeuner-Siedlung verbracht und seine Narben sprechen für kein allzu leichtes Leben. Doch das soll jetzt alles hinter ihm liegen, denn Eddie hat es mehr als verdient nun endlich ein bisschen verwöhnt zu werden. Obwohl Eddie kein junger Hüpfer mehr ist, ist er für sein Alter noch ziemlich fit und liebt es herumzualbern und Spazieren zu gehen. Eddie benimmt sich sehr gut, zieht nicht an der Leine und tritt Menschen wie Hunden freundlich gegenüber. Der kleine Kerl weiß sich allerdings zu verteidigen, sollte er von anderen Rüden unfreundlich behandelt werden. Wir wünschen uns für den liebenswürdigen Eddie ein Zuhause, indem er endlich in Frieden schlafen kann und von seiner Familie geliebt wird.

About Eddie

What life with Eddie looks like

Eddie is a medium-sized senior jack russell terrier dog waiting at Hundehilfe Portugal in Speyer.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Eddie, answered.

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