Floh

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Adult · 6 years

Update September 2025: Floh met photographer Stefan Ostendörp and looked absolutely stunning. By watching the video, you agree to YouTube's privacy policy. More details can be found at the homepage post: Floh Meets Photographer Stefan. Update November 2024: Wotan has been given a new name. He was previously rehomed, but in his new family, there have been multiple instances of biting. As Floh, the Jack Russell mix is now trying to start a complete new chapter. Our trainer has closely examined Floh over the past weeks, and he brings some great training topics to his new family that they want to work on together. For example, Floh hates being alone. He is house-trained, but he urinates in the house when frustrated, especially when he is alone. Additionally, work needs to be done on issues like his compatibility with other animals, accepting and following clear rules and structures, and social skills between human and dog. Floh has the habit of challenging people. If they are inconsistent and do not provide a reliable framework, his behavior immediately turns negative (socially motivated aggression, frustration, and leash aggression). A great example of Floh's frustration and leash aggression is that this does not occur in the animal shelter, where he regularly has contact with other animals and then walks calmly on the leash. Here, he shows himself to be uncomplicated and friendly - he needs these rules and consequences in his new home as well! This is crucial because otherwise, he will immediately fall back into old behavioral patterns within a short time.

Update September 2025:Floh hat Fotografen Stefan Ostendörp () getroffen und sich sehr schön in Szene setzten lassen. Link zum Homepage-Beitrag: Floh trifft -affe Stefan Update November 2024:Wotan hat einen neuen Namen bekommen. Er war bereits einmal vermittelt, in seiner neuen Familie kam es jedoch mehrfach zu Beißvorfällen. Als Floh versucht der Jack-Russel-Mix jetzt einen kompletten Neuanfang. Unsere Trainerin hat sich Floh in den letzten Wochen sehr genau angeschaut und er bringt für seine neue Familie ein paar tolle Trainingsthemen mit, die gemeinsam bewältigt werden wollen. Unter anderem hasst Floh es alleine zu sein. Er ist an sich stubenrein, pinkelt aber bei Frust ins Haus, vor allem dann, wenn er alleine ist. Gearbeitet werden muss außerdem an Baustellen wie seiner Verträglichkeit mit Artgenossen, das Annehmen und Befolgen klarer Regeln und Strukturen, sowie die soziale Kompetenz zwischen Mensch und Hund. Floh hat nämlich die Angewohnheit Menschen gerne in Frage zu stellen. Sind diese inkonsequent und geben ihm keinen verlässlichen Rahmen, kippt sein Verhalten direkt ins Negative (sozial motivierte Aggression, Frust- und Leinenaggression).Ein tolles Beispiel für Flohs Frust- und Leinenaggression ist die Tatsache, das diese im Tierheim nicht auftritt, da er hier regelmäßig Kontakt zu Artgenossen hat und dann auch entsprechend entspannt an der Leine läuft. Hierbei zeigt er sich unkompliziert und umgänglich - da Regeln und Konsequenz - die braucht er auch weiterhin im neuen Zuhause! Das ist ganz wichtig, da er sonst sofort wieder innerhalb kürzester Zeit in alte Verhaltensmuster kippt. Floh sucht ein Zuhause bei Terrier-erfahrenen Menschen, die Selbstsicherheit und Ruhe ausstrahlen. Seine Menschen müssen Verständnis für Be- und Erziehung mitbringen und bereit sein, weiterhin an seinen Problemen zu arbeiten. In Flohs neuem Zuhause sollten KEINE Kinder im Haushalt leben.Wir könnten uns aber vorstellen, dass Floh bei Sympathie von einem Artgenossen oder souveränem Ersthund profitiert.

About Floh

What life with Floh looks like

Floh is an adult jack russell terrier dog waiting at Tierheim Jübberde in Uplengen.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Floh, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Floh?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Jübberde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Floh on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Floh if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Jübberde 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Floh 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 Floh 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 Tierheim Jübberde early rather than rehoming privately; they know Floh 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.
