How do I contact the shelter about Jacob?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Düsseldorf handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jacob on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Jacob if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Düsseldorf 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 Jacob 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 Jacob 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 Düsseldorf early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jacob 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.

Adopt Jacob

Dachshund · Male · Young · 3 years

Jacob (born on 27.10.2023, approx. 10 kg) is a Rauhaardackel who is only suitable for true breed enthusiasts and lovers. He is incredibly sweet, very matted, and loves his people more than anything – but Jacob has another side: the little guy gets easily frustrated and has never developed any frustration tolerance. When something doesn’t suit him, he quickly becomes very loud and screams his lungs out. Jacob gets along well with other dogs out of sympathy. However, he does not want to share his home with fellow animals. At home, he shows his stubborn character: Jacob needs clear boundaries and loving guidance because he can bite in moments of frustration when he is overstimulated. While Jacob enjoys his cuddle sessions, we believe he also needs a task or mental stimulation where he can use his talents – a job that keeps him busy and happy. Jacob is therefore not suitable as just a family member. What we wish for Jacob is a home without other pets and children. His new owners should have strong nerves and be ready to train him extensively. Those who understand Jacob, have patience, and challenge him in an appropriate way, will get a loyal, loving companion with a big heart.

Jacob ( geboren am 27.10.2023, ca. 10 kg) ist ein Rauhaardackel, der nur für echte Rassekenner und Liebhaber geeignet ist. Er ist unglaublich süß, sehr verkuschelt und liebt seine Menschen über alles – allerdings hat Jacob noch eine andere Seite der kleine Kerl wird schnell frustriert und hat auch nie eine Frusttoleranz entwickelt. Wenn ihm etwas nicht passt wird er schnell sehr laut und schreit sich die Seele aus dem Leib. Mit anderen Hunden versteht Jacob sich nach Sympathie. Möchte aber sein Zuhause nicht mit Artgenossen teilen. Zu Hause zeigt er seinen sturköpfigen Charakter: Jacob braucht klare Grenzen und eine liebevolle Führung, denn er kann in Momenten von Frustration zubeißen, wenn er überfordert ist. So sehr Jacob seine Schmuseeinheiten genießt, glauben wir, dass er zusätzlich eine Aufgabe oder Beschäftigung braucht, in der er seine Talente einsetzen kann – ein Job, der ihn auslastet und glücklich macht. Jacob ist also nicht als " nur " ein Familienmitglied geeignet. Was wir uns für Jacob wünschen ist ein Zuhause ohne weitere Haustiere und Kinder. Seine neuen Besitzer sollten über starke Nerven verfügen und bereit sein mit ihm noch viel zu tranieren . Wer Jacob versteht, Geduld hat und ihn artgerecht fordert, bekommt einen treuen, liebevollen Begleiter mit großem Herz.

About Jacob

What life with Jacob looks like

Jacob is a small young adult dachshund dog waiting at Tierheim Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf.

An young 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.

Note from the shelter: Can bite when frustrated or overwhelmed; needs clear boundaries and patient training

🇩🇪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.
