Jacco

Border Collie · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Here come our little rascal gang: 3 boys and 2 girls. They were born at Lida, our partner animal shelter, because the mother was found pregnant by the authorities and handed over here. They were very lucky to grow up calmly with their mama: not at the side of the road, but in baskets with blankets, with sufficient water and food, and with a mama who never had to worry about anything. Now the little ones are big enough and ready for a family. Like his brothers, Jacco is an open, friendly young dog who approaches people without any fear. He has never experienced anything bad: he was born in the shelter and still lives with his siblings and his mama in an enclosure. Here they play, cuddle, romp around, and when a person happens to wander in, the joy is enormous. We are looking for a home for Jacco with a family that has dog experience and a garden. A first-time dog owner is welcome to live in the household. Children should be 7 years or older and know how to handle animals responsibly. Jacco knows nothing yet and must be introduced to everything slowly. Please keep in mind that raising puppies/young dogs takes time and patience so that they become great family dogs and loyal companions. We estimate he will reach about 55-60 cm in height. Do you have questions about Jacco? Then please feel free to get in touch. All dogs are microchipped, vaccinated upon departure, and travel with an EU pet passport in a transport registered with the German veterinary office. The dogs travel with TRACES.

Hier kommen unsere kleine Rasselbande: 3 Jungs und 2 Mädchen. Sie wurden in der Lida, unserem Kooperationstierheim geboren, da die Mutter trächtig von der Behörde gefunden und hier abgegeben wurde. Sie hatten das große Glück, bei ihrer Mama in Ruhe aufzuwachsen: nicht am Straßenrand, sondern in Körbchen mit Decken, ausreichend Wasser und Futter und einer Mama, die sich um nichts Sorgen machen musste. Nun sind die Kleinen groß genug und bereit für eine Familie. Jacco ist wie seine Brüder ein aufgeschlossener, freundlicher Junghund, der ohne Ängste auf Menschen zugeht. Er hat nichts Schlechtes erfahren: er wurde im Tierheim geboren, und lebt bis heute mit seinen Geschwistern und seiner Mama in einem Gehege. Hier wird gespielt, gekuschelt, getobt und wenn sich ein Mensch dorthin verirrt, ist die Freude riesengroß. Wir suchen für Jacco ein Zuhause in einer Familie mit Hundeerfahrung und Garten, Gerne kann ein Ersthund im Zuhause leben. Kinder sollten 7 Jahre oder älter sein und den verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Tieren kennen. Jacco kennt nichts und muss an alles langsam herangeführt werden. Bitte bedenken Sie, dass die Erziehung von Welpen/Junghunden Zeit und Geduld benötigt, damit aus ihnen tolle Familienhunde und treue Begleiter werden. Wir schätzen, dass er ca. 55-60 cm groß wird. Haben Sie Fragen zu Jacco? Dann nehmen Sie gerne Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport. Die Hunde reisen mit TRACES.

About Jacco

What life with Jacco looks like

Jacco is a small puppy border collie dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jacco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jacco?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jacco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jacco if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde whether they will for Jacco, what they require (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 Jacco already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde lists Jacco as vaccinated and microchipped. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Jacco isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jacco 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.
