Jerry (JEŻYK/IGEL)

Mixed Breed · Male

Jerry (JEŻYK/IGEL) Race: Westi-Terrier-Mischling, approximately 35 cm (estimated) Compatibility: Yes; Cats: Unknown, can be tested. Current location: Animal shelter Sokolka (Poland) Reason for adoption: Found dog This sweet little young male was unfortunately abandoned and had to experience the harshness of life early on. However, he has not let that take his joy in life. He is an exceptionally friendly, playful and always cheerful dog who makes every day a little brighter with his happy nature. He loves people and shows no aggression. He even goes for walks with small children and enjoys every shared activity. He also gets along well with other dogs and greets his fellow canines in a friendly manner. We wish for this lovable treasure a family that can finally give him the security he so deserves. As a straightforward family dog, he brings the best prerequisites to become a loyal companion for life.

Name: Jerry (JEŻYK/IGEL) Rasse: Westi-Terrier-Mischling, ca. 35 cm (geschätzt) Verträglichkeit: Ja; Katzen: Nicht bekannt, kann getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Sokolka (Polen) Abgabegrund: Fundhund Dieser liebe kleine junge Rüde wurde leider ausgesetzt und musste schon früh erfahren, wie hart das Leben manchmal sein kann. Doch davon hat er sich seine Lebensfreude nicht nehmen lassen. Er ist ein ausgesprochen freundlicher, verspielter und stets gut gelaunter Hund, der mit seiner fröhlichen Art jeden Tag ein kleines bisschen heller macht. Menschen liebt er über alles und zeigt dabei keinerlei Aggressionen. Selbst mit kleinen Kindern geht er entspannt spazieren und genießt jede gemeinsame Unternehmung. Auch mit anderen Hunden kommt er gut zurecht und begegnet seinen Artgenossen freundlich. Für diesen liebenswerten Schatz wünschen wir uns eine Familie, die ihm endlich die Geborgenheit schenkt, die er so sehr verdient. Als unkomplizierter Familienhund bringt er beste Voraussetzungen mit, um ein treuer Begleiter fürs Leben zu werden.

About Jerry (JEŻYK/IGEL)

What life with Jerry (JEŻYK/IGEL) looks like

Jerry (JEŻYK/IGEL) is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

An 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 Jerry (JEŻYK/IGEL), answered.

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