Jack

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Hello, my name is Jack, I am 6 years old and am looking for a new, loving home as I feel very lonely since my brother passed away recently. I am quite tame and calm after an adjustment period, and I love to nibble on treats from the hand. There are no known health issues or dental problems with me. Up until now, I was "doctor-free" and had received proper food, appearing unremarkable, happy, and healthy. I was also unremarkable in group behavior, more submissive – but had also been alone for a longer time with just my buddy. In a larger group of 4 degus, I was definitely submissive and relaxed. I have been alone now for a few weeks, so I am longing for a buddy. I have been relatively friendly towards people so far. Upon agreement, I will also be brought to the new home, and the area will be discussed as well. If everything fits, my nut lover would also be open to longer trips and can make a direct impression of my new home.

Hallo, mein Name ist Jack, ich bin 6 Jahre alt und suche ein neues, liebevolles Zuhause, da ich mich sehr einsam fühle seitdem mein Bruder vor kurzem verstorben ist. Ich bin nach einer Eingewöhnung recht handzahm, ruhig und liebe es Leckerlis aus der Hand zu naschen. Bei mir sind keine Krankheiten/Zahnprobleme bekannt. Bisher war ich „doktorfrei“ und habe ordentliches Futter bekommen, wirke unauffällig, glücklich und gesund. Ich war auch im Gruppenverhalten unauffällig, eher auch unterwürfig – war jetzt aber auch eine längere Zeit nur zu zweit mit meinem Kumpel. In der größeren Gruppe von 4 Degus war ich definitiv unterwürfig und entspannt. Ich bin nun schon seit ein paar Wochen alleine, deshalb sehne ich mich nach einem Kumpel. Bisher bin ich Menschen gegenüber noch relativ zutraulich. Nach Absprache werde ich auch ins neue Heim gebracht, Umkreis ebenfalls nach Absprache. Wenn alles passt, wäre mein Nüsschengeber auch offen für längere Fahrten und er kann sich direkt einen Eindruck von meinem neuen Zuhause machen.

About Jack

What life with Jack looks like

Jack is a adult mixed breed animal waiting at Deguhilfe Süd e.V. in Obermichelbach.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Jack far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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 Jack, answered.

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