Jabba

English Bulldog · Male · Adult · 4 years

Jabba wraps everyone around his little finger with his charm, as he shows an extremely cuddly side when interacting with people. He is a young, independent male dog who is not lacking in courage. He goes through life with great confidence, whether it’s on the street in traffic with loud noises or in the forest, he remains calm and composed, although he also likes to discuss things from time to time. He is also already somewhat leash-friendly and can now go past approaching dogs. However, in a new home, there should be no other dogs or children, as he becomes overwhelmed in stressful situations and releases his frustration like a lightning rod onto his surroundings. Dog contact during a walk will likely work well after a get-to-know period. In order to walk Jabba, a certification of knowledge is required due to an assessment. Regulations in Schleswig-Holstein:• Certification of knowledge (the knowledge is acquired through the successful completion of a theoretical and practical certification exam with the dog considered dangerous) various dog schools offer this.• Temporary certification of knowledge (for 3 months) a community can apply for a temporary permit so that they can train for the practical exam with this dog.• Driver’s license (18 years old, personal suitability, and required reliability)• Permission from the relevant authority• Muzzle and leash control (not on one’s own property, but the property must be secured so that the dog cannot escape.)• Proof of liability insurance• Microchip identification (completed by the animal shelter) Resocialization possible: If dogs have become conspicuous (bitten a person or animal, or behaved uncontrollably chasing or biting), the assessment as a dangerous dog can be rescinded after 2 years if the dogs have successfully passed a behavioral assessment and have been evaluated by a specialist in behavior or therapy.

Jabba zeigt sich im Alltag als freundlicher, verschmuster und selbstbewusster Hund. Er läuft gut an der Leine und beherrscht die Grundkommandos. Lange Spaziergänge genießt er sehr und kommt dabei gut mit seiner Umwelt zurecht. Auch das Training macht ihm Spaß, mit Leckerchen lässt er sich prima motivieren und lernt schnell dazu. Menschen gegenüber ist Jabba sehr freundlich und verschmust. Wir können ihn uns auch in einem Haushalt mit größeren Kindern vorstellen. Mit anderen Hunden ist er grundsätzlich verträglich – bei intakten Rüden entscheidet allerdings die Sympathie. Für Jabba suchen wir hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihm klare Strukturen und Sicherheit geben und gleichzeitig Freude daran haben, weiter mit ihm zu arbeiten. Sein neues Zuhause sollte wenig Treppen haben aufgrund seiner Rasse, gemütlich und eher ruhig sein. Eine moderate Auslastung mit schönen Spaziergängen und kleinen Trainingseinheiten ist für ihn genau das Richtige. Da Jabba als eingestufter Hund besondere Voraussetzungen mitbringt, sollten seine zukünftigen Menschen bereits über den erforderlichen Sachkundenachweis für die Haltung eingestufter Hunde verfügen oder bereit sein, diesen zu erwerben. Wir stehen gerne bei Fragen bezüglich der Auflagen zur Verfügung. Auflagen in Schleswig-Holstein:• Sachkundenachweis (die Sachkunde wird durch die erfolgreiche Ablegung einer theoretischen und praktischen Sachkundeprüfung mit dem als gefährlich eingestuften Hund erworben) verschiedene Hundeschulen bieten diesen an.• vorläufigen Sachkundenachweis (für 3 Monate) es kann eine vorläufige Genehmigung von der Gemeinde beantragt werden, sodass man mit diesem Hund für die praktische Prüfung trainieren kann.• Führungszeugnis (18 Jahre alt, persönliche Eignung und erforderliche Zuverlässigkeit)• Erlaubnis der zuständigen Behörde• Maulkorb – und Leinenzwang (auf dem eigenen Grundstück nicht, allerdings muss das Grundstück so gesichert sein, dass der Hund nicht ausbrechen kann.• Nachweis über den Abschluss einer Haftpflichtversicherung• Kennzeichnung durch einen Microchip (Erledigt durch das Tierheim) „Resozialisierung“ möglich:Sind Hunde einmal auffällig geworden (Mensch oder Tier gebissen haben/ oder unkontrolliert gehetzt oder gerissen hat) dann kann die Einstufung als gefährlicher Hund nach 2 Jahren zurückgenommen werden, wenn die Hunde erfolgreich einen Wesenstest bestanden haben und sie durch einen Fachtierarzt für Verhaltenskunde beziehungsweise -Therapie begutachtet worden sind.

About Jabba

What life with Jabba looks like

Jabba is an adult english bulldog dog waiting at Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel in Kiel.

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 Jabba, answered.

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