Adopt Jake

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

The dairy goat buck Jake comes from a petting zoo in Mülheim an der Ruhr. Unfortunately, almost everywhere, they are bred. And by the time young bucks become sexually mature, they must be separated from the herd to prevent inbreeding. In most cases, bucks are then sold for slaughter, which finances a significant portion of sheep and goat farming's feed costs. However, the Jake born in March 2021 had a great deal of luck, as his owner preferred to give us the advantage as an animal welfare association. In late September, we purchased the little Jake for 50 €, a fair price. Jake was advertised on eBay classifieds. However, he shouldn't have to go to castration alone, so we rescued another dairy goat buck a week later, namely Nico. Young animals, especially when they arrive at their new home at about the same time, usually understand each other well from the start. So it was also the case with Jake and Nico. Since both are already sexually mature, they must be kept separate from the other goats until castration. Both are in Simmern in the Hunsrück and are still looking for sponsors.

Der Burenziegenbock Jake stammt aus einem Streichelzoo bei Mülheim an der Ruhr. Leider wird fast überall gezüchtet. Und spätestens, wenn junge Böcke geschlechtsreif werden, müssen sie aus der Herde, damit keine Inzucht entsteht. In der Regel werden Böcke dann zur Schlachtung verkauft, dadurch finanzieren die meisten Schaf- und Ziegenhaltungen einen Großteil ihrer Futterkosten. Der im März 2021 geboren Jake hatte aber großes Glück, dass sein Besitzer uns als Tierschutzverein den Vorzug gab. Ende September kauften wir den kleinen Jake für 50 € frei, ein fairer Preis. Jake war bei eBay-Kleinanzeigen angeboten worden. Er sollte aber nicht alleine zur Kastration fahren müssen, deshalb retteten wir eine Woche später noch einen Burenziegenbock, nämlich den Nico. Jungtiere, vor allem, wenn sie fast zur gleichen Zeit in ihrem neuen Zuhause ankommen, verstehen sich normalerweise auf Anhieb gut. So war es auch bei Jake und Nico. Da sie beide schon geschlechtsreif sind, müssen sie bis zur Kastration von den anderen Ziegen getrennt bleiben. Beide sind in Simmern im Hunsrück zu Hause und suchen noch Paten.

About Jake

What life with Jake looks like

Jake is a medium-sized adult mixed breed animal waiting at Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. in Drolshagen.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Jake 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 Jake, answered.

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