Jacko

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 11 years

Jacko was first surrendered on 25/08/2015 due to lack of time and money. In October 2015 he found a home where he lived for 11 years. Unfortunately, he returned on 25/06 because it didn't work out with the child anymore. Jacko is sometimes insecure but very quick to trust and also very affectionate. Currently, he has a few pounds too much on his ribs and should lose some weight. Jacko shouldn't spend the last time of his life in the animal shelter. A quiet household with one or two people would be ideal for him. Who will give the senior another beautiful time?

Jacko wurde das erste Mal am 25.08. 2015 abgegeben, damals aus Zeit-und Geldmangel.Im Oktober 2015 fand er dann ein Zuhause, wo er 11 Jahre lang lebte. Am 25.06 kam er leider wieder zurück, weil es mit dem Kind nicht mehr funktioniert hat. Jacko ist manchmal etwas unsicher, fast aber sehr schnell Vertrauen und ist auch sehr anhänglich.Zur Zeit hat er ein paar Pfunde zu viel auf dem Rippen und sollte etwas abnehmen. Jacko soll die letzte Zeit seines Lebens nicht im Tierheim verbringen. Ein ruhiger Haushalt mit ein bis zwei Bezugspersonen wären ideal für ihn. Wer gibt dem Senior noch eine schöne Zeit?

About Jacko

What life with Jacko looks like

Jacko is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Paderborn in Paderborn.

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 Jacko, answered.

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