Jaquen

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Jaquen is currently the most anxious. When approached, he tries to avoid contact, makes fear pee or growls. We don't see a big city bustle and a home with children as suitable for Jaquen. Initially, a house leash, hand feeding and above all calm, confident people who can gradually build trust and have the right touch in dealing with him would be helpful. A secure first dog, to which he can orientate himself, would also be an advantage. Jaquen needs some more time and the right people who are willing to give him exactly that. With patience, understanding and a loving, secure approach, Jaquen will learn to trust and settle in. Currently, Michonne, Jorah, Jaquen and Umbria are still very shy, sometimes also anxious. Much trust in us humans is not yet available and each of the four deals with the new situation a little differently. Umbria is currently the bravest of the small group. If you take some time and don't press her, her curiosity wins quickly. She comes closer, makes contact and eventually lets herself be touched and stroked. A good start, on which it is wonderful to build. Michonne, Jorah and Jaquen, on the other hand, would currently rather be invisible. If you enter the kennel, they prefer to retreat to the dog houses and observe the situation from a safe distance. They need more time to understand that nobody wants to do them any harm. All four are still at the beginning. They have hardly been able to experience anything so far and the new world will be huge for them at first. Everyday noises, leash walking, routines, living together in a family and the entire dog ABC they have yet to learn. They are all compatible with other dogs. For Michonne, Jorah, Jaquen and Umbria, we are looking for a loving home with people who do not expect finished dogs. They need people who give them time to arrive, introduce them to new situations gently but confidently and give them security and orientation. We wish for each of the four a carefree and varied dog life with full family connection. A home where they can belong, build trust and gradually discover how beautiful life as a beloved family dog can be.

Jaquen ist aktuell von allen der Ängstlichste. Nähert man sich ihm, versucht er auszuweichen, macht Angstpipi oder knurrt. Großstadttrubel und ein Zuhause mit Kindern sehen wir für Jaquen nicht. Hilfreich wären anfangs sicherlich eine Hausleine, Handfütterung und vor allem ruhige, souveräne Menschen, die Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen aufbauen und das richtige Fingerspitzengefühl im Umgang mit ihm haben. Ein sicherer Ersthund, an dem er sich orientieren kann, wäre ebenfalls von Vorteil. Jaquen braucht etwas mehr Zeit und die richtigen Menschen, die bereit sind, ihm genau diese zu geben. Mit Geduld, Verständnis und einem liebevollen, sicheren Umgang wird Jaquen Vertrauen lernen und ankommen. Aktuell zeigen sich Michonne, Jorah, Jaquen und Umbria noch sehr schüchtern, teilweise auch ängstlich. Viel Vertrauen in uns Menschen ist noch nicht vorhanden und jeder der vier geht mit der neuen Situation ein wenig anders um. Umbria ist momentan die Mutigste der kleinen Truppe. Nimmt man sich etwas Zeit und bedrängt sie nicht, siegt recht schnell ihre Neugier. Sie kommt näher, nimmt Kontakt auf und lässt sich schließlich auch anfassen und streicheln. Ein schöner Anfang, auf dem sich wunderbar aufbauen lässt. Michonne, Jorah und Jaquen würden dagegen aktuell am liebsten noch unsichtbar sein. Betritt man den Zwinger, ziehen sie sich lieber in die Hundehütten zurück und beobachten das Geschehen aus sicherer Entfernung. Sie benötigen noch Zeit, um zu verstehen, dass ihnen niemand etwas Böses möchte. Alle vier stehen noch ganz am Anfang. Sie durften bisher kaum etwas kennenlernen und entsprechend groß wird die neue Welt für sie zunächst sein. Alltagsgeräusche, Leinenführigkeit, Routinen, das Zusammenleben in einer Familie und das gesamte Hunde-ABC müssen sie erst noch kennenlernen. Mit anderen Hunden sind alle vier verträglich. Für Michonne, Jorah, Jaquen und Umbria suchen wir jeweils ein liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die keine fertigen Hunde erwarten. Sie brauchen Menschen, die ihnen Zeit zum Ankommen geben, sie behutsam, aber dennoch souverän an neue Situationen heranführen und ihnen Sicherheit und Orientierung vermitteln. Wir wünschen uns für jeden der vier ein sorgenfreies und abwechslungsreiches Hundeleben mit vollem Familienanschluss. Ein Zuhause, in dem sie dazugehören, Vertrauen aufbauen dürfen und nach und nach entdecken können, wie schön ein Leben als geliebter Familienhund sein kann.

About Jaquen

What life with Jaquen looks like

Jaquen is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. in Marsberg.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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 Jaquen, answered.

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