Jafira

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Jafira is a 7-year-old Degu who is looking for a companion to share her life with. Her sister recently passed away, leaving her alone. We are ending our Degu care and have decided to rehome Jafira. Jafira is a calm and gentle animal. She is quite attached to humans but doesn't require a lot of attention. She was allowed to roam freely in the hallway under supervision. She responds well to gentle tapping and comes running. She is generally easy to handle and enjoys her exercise wheel. She doesn't need much else. Jafira currently has a mild eye infection, which we have not yet had a vet check due to her recent loss. We plan to do so in early October. Jafira also had a broken leg in the past but has never had any issues with it. No other health problems are known. We live in Münster but would be happy to transport her to a new home. We would appreciate it if the new owner could send us photos regularly as it is hard for us to let her go. Many climbing opportunities, swings, a wheel, and food can be provided.

Jafira sucht eine Gruppe oder ein Partnertier mit denen bzw. dem sie den Rest ihres Lebens verbringen darf. Leider ist ihre Schwester vor kurzem verstorben, sodass sie alleine zurückbleibt. Wir möchten die Deguhaltung beenden, weswegen wir uns schweren Herzens dazu entschieden haben, sie abzugeben. Jafira ist 7 Jahre alt und eher ruhig. Ich würde sagen, sie ist dem Menschen eher zugewandt, braucht aber auch nicht zu viel Kontakt. Bei uns durften die beiden regelmäßig im Flur unter Aufsicht laufen, sie reagiert gut auf Klopfgeräusche und kommt dann angelaufen. In der Regel lässt sie sich gut aus dem Käfig nehmen. Sie liebt ihr Laufrad und braucht sonst nicht viel. Zur Zeit hat sie eine leichte Augenentzündung, die wir bisher aufgrund der Situation, dass ihre Schwester gerade erst verstorben ist, noch nicht tierärztlich abklären lassen haben, weil wir sie nicht zusätzlich stressen wollten. Das werden wir aber auf jeden Fall Anfang Oktober noch machen. Ansonsten hatte Jafira früher einmal ein Bein gebrochen, hat damit aber nie Probleme gehabt. Sonst sind keine gesundheitlichen Probleme bekannt. Wir selbst wohnen in Münster, würden sie aber auch irgendwo hinfahren. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn der neue Besitzer uns regelmäßig mit Fotos versorgt, da es uns wirklich schwer fällt sie abzugeben. Viele Klettermöglichkeiten, Schaukeln, Laufrad, Futter können mit abgeben werden.

About Jafira

What life with Jafira looks like

Jafira 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 Jafira 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 Jafira, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jafira?
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 Jafira on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jafira 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 Jafira 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 Jafira 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 Jafira 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.
