Jako

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Jako is looking for a home 💚 Meet Jako - a small world traveler with a big heart! Abandoned, injured, but still full of life - our Jako is ready to conquer the world! And maybe soon your couch? Sometimes a story starts quite sadly and then develops into something beautiful. Like the story of our little Jako. Together with his brothers Masty and Marlo, he was abandoned as a tiny puppy in front of our animal rescuer Sergej's house in Bosnia. The three brothers were just a few weeks old, completely helpless and even had injuries on their heads. They were probably attacked by a bird of prey or a chicken. But the three had a huge guardian angel: Sergej! He took the little fur balls in, treated their wounds and nursed them back to health with lots of love and care. And look at what this tiny dog has become! Jako is now a happy, curious and incredibly lovable little world explorer! He loves to play, is friendly, open-minded and would love to stick his little black nose everywhere. After all, there is still so much to discover in this world! Whether exciting sniffing adventures, funny play hours or learning the little dog multiplication table - Jako is already in the starting blocks! What he's missing now? His own people, who discover the world with him! People who can laugh at his youthful nonsense, show him lovingly how life as a family dog works, and know that a little dog boy is not only incredibly cute, but also has a lot of nonsense in his head. Special feature: professional heart robber with built-in explorer urge! 🏡 TRIAL LIVING POSSIBLE! Nobody has to decide on the big love on four paws after a single meeting! So that the human and dog can get to know each other better.

Ausgesetzt, verletzt und trotzdem voller Lebensfreude – unser Jako ist bereit, die Welt zu erobern! Und vielleicht ja schon bald dein Sofa? Manchmal beginnt eine Geschichte ziemlich traurig und entwickelt sich dann doch zu etwas Wunderschönem. So wie die Geschichte unseres kleinen Jako. Gemeinsam mit seinen Brüdern Masty und Marlo wurde er als winziger Welpe vor dem Haus unseres Tierschützers Sergej in Bosnien ausgesetzt. Die drei Brüder waren gerade einmal wenige Wochen alt, völlig hilflos und hatten sogar Verletzungen am Kopf. Vermutlich waren sie von einem Greifvogel oder einem Huhn attackiert worden. Doch die drei hatten einen riesengroßen Schutzengel: Sergej! Er nahm die kleinen Fellknäuel bei sich auf, versorgte ihre Wunden und päppelte sie mit ganz viel Liebe und Fürsorge wieder auf. Und schaut euch an, was aus diesem winzigen Häufchen Hund geworden ist! Jako ist heute ein fröhlicher, neugieriger und unglaublich liebenswerter kleiner Weltentdecker! Er liebt es zu spielen, ist freundlich, aufgeschlossen und möchte am liebsten überall seine kleine schwarze Nase hineinstecken. Schließlich gibt es auf dieser Welt noch sooooo viel zu entdecken! Ob spannende Schnüffelabenteuer, lustige Spielstunden oder das Erlernen des kleinen Hunde-Einmaleins – Jako steht schon in den Startlöchern! Was ihm jetzt noch fehlt? Seine eigenen Menschen, die mit ihm gemeinsam die Welt entdecken! Menschen, die über seinen jugendlichen Blödsinn lachen können, ihm liebevoll zeigen, wie das Leben als Familienhund funktioniert, und die wissen, dass ein kleiner Hundejunge nicht nur unglaublich niedlich ist, sondern auch jede Menge Flausen im Kopf haben darf. Besonderheit: professioneller Herzenseroberer mit eingebautem Entdeckerdrang! 🏡 PROBEWOHNEN MÖGLICH! Bei uns muss niemand die große Liebe auf vier Pfoten nach einem einzigen Kennenlernen entscheiden! So haben Mensch und Hund d

About Jako

What life with Jako looks like

Jako is a large puppy mixed breed dog waiting at APAL Finikas (Kreta) in Greece.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇷Adopting from Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jako, answered.

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