How do I contact the shelter about Jakob?

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

Can I adopt Jakob if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope for Future 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 Jakob 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 Jakob 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 Hope for Future e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jakob 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.

Jakob

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Jakob, born approximately 2017, neutered, approximately 45cm shoulder height, at the shelter since 2019. Jakob has been with us at the shelter for many years. He never received any inquiries and is now starting to withdraw. He is definitely approachable after a short time, curiosity is there and he is not an anxious dog. He is just sensitive and has withdrawn. He is also very good with other dogs. Because Jakob has been at the shelter for many years, his future family should not have expectations of him, but should instead simply accept him as he is, and then enjoy positive surprises. Who takes the time for him will be rewarded with an incredibly great family addition. Currently located in Romania and allowed to leave if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites at their arrival at the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life at the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the country of destination. Please note the information on this page:

02/2024 Jakob, geboren ca. 2017, kastriert, ca. 45cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 2019 Jakob ist seit vielen vielen Jahren bei uns im Shelter. Er hatte nie eine Anfrage und fängt nun an sich zurückzuziehen. Er ist mit Sicherheit nach kurzer Zeit anfassbar, die Neugierde ist da und er ist kein Angsthund. Er ist einfach nur sensibel und hat sich zurückgezogen. Auch mit anderen Hunden ist er sehr gut verträglich. Dadurch, dass Jakob bereits viele Jahre im Shelter ist, darf seine zukünftige Familie keine Erwartungen an ihn haben, sondern sollte ihn stattdessen einfach annehmen wie er ist, um sich dann über positive Überraschungen zu freuen. Wer sich dafür Zeit nimmt, wird mit einem wahnsinnig tollen Familienzuwachs belohnt werden. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn er ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Jakob

What life with Jakob looks like

Jakob is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

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 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.
