Jacky

Shih Tzu · Male · Adult · 5 years

Jacky is a happy, affectionate little guy who enjoys being close to his people. He finds it hard to be left alone, and he's also prone to barking and occasionally lunging on a leash. He enjoys going for short walks. Due to skin problems, he is on allergy food. He also needs lifelong eye ointment, and the ongoing costs should be taken into account.

Jacky ist ein fröhlicher, verschmuster kleiner Kerl, der die Nähe seiner Menschen genießt. Allein bleiben fällt ihm schwer, außerdem ist er bellfreudig und pöbelt gelegentlich an der Leine. Er geht gern kleine Runde spazieren. Aufgrund von Hautproblemen bekommt er Allergiefutter. Außerdem benötigt er eine lebenslange Augensalbe, deren laufende Kosten berücksichtigt werden sollten.

About Jacky

What life with Jacky looks like

Jacky is a small adult shih tzu dog waiting at Tierheim Hannover in Hannover.

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 Jacky, answered.

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