Jaeger

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

28/09/22 Beautiful Jaeger is 9 years of age next month, she has always been a much loved girl who is now sadly looking for a new home after the loss of her dad and now recently her mum. She was very traumatised when the police had to break in to help her. Since her owners son has been working with her she is gaining her confidence back and even started asking him with a bark and a playbow to play fetch in the garden with her 🥰 Jaeger was trained by him and he has shot over her, so she has had a good level of gundog training. She has always been a mild mannered girl and very eager to please. Since the loss of her dad 21/2 years ago, she hasn’t the exercise or ongoing training with her mum that she was used to, so she has found going for a walk a little stressful and has been reactive to dogs and people that she’s met. Being walked regularly again for 3-4 weeks she has already shown a huge improvement and the only dogs she seems to dislike are large German Shepherds. She is once again ignoring people and with an “On me” command she’s watching his face rather than the approaching dogs. She used to recall perfectly, but it’s not been tested recently. However she will recall from garden and in house instantly. When people came to her owners house she was barking at them, after not having many visitors, but now as their son repaired the broken front door she sat and watched with the door wide open. When she did bark at a visitor she was told to lay down and went straight onto her bed quietly. Another family member arrived to feed her and let her out after the son had already left, he got a very friendly and excited welcome this time after he was barked at 3 weeks ago. Which again shows a huge improvement. 🥰🥰 Jaeger hasn’t lived with children and she does find small children worrying, they are unpredictable and move too quickly for her (which is sadly why the owners son can’t keep her because he has two very young children that are not dog savvy) so we won’t be placing Jaeger in a home with resident children for her own happiness.

About Jaeger

What life with Jaeger looks like

Jaeger is a extra-large senior mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jaeger, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jaeger?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. GSP Rescue UK handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jaeger on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jaeger if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — GSP Rescue UK 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Jaeger 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 Jaeger 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 GSP Rescue UK early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jaeger 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 (the shelter's own language). 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.
