Jerry

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Jerry is a small, affectionate Pinscher-mix, 5 years old, lively and socially compatible, neutered. Jerry is a small-sized dog from a Greek animal shelter who is looking for his people. With his weight of only about 8 kg, he brings a lot of energy, personality and joie de vivre - but not much weight. Born around May 2021, Jerry has lived in a public Greek shelter since June 2025. He was found on the street. Apparently, he had a family before, because in the first days Jerry cried terribly before he came to terms with his fate of not being wanted. Despite these circumstances, Jerry has retained his open and friendly character: he actively approaches people and enjoys every attention he can get, finds everyone and everything great and wants to explore so badly. Jerry is already accustomed to leash and harness and has a blast on walks! Curious, full of energy and with radiant joy, he enjoys every moment outside. Unfortunately, trips of this kind are very rare in the shelter, and Jerry longs very much for an active home of his own. Therefore, we are happy to help him find his forever home nationwide. Jerry is an alert, active dog who needs activity and exercise. He would be the perfect companion for people who like to be on the go and want to discover the world with him. Cuddling is also high on his agenda. A joint visit to a dog school would certainly be a great joy for the eager little treasure, because he has a great desire for all kinds of joint activities, as well as cozy evenings on the couch. With time, patience and loving guidance, Jerry will surely prove himself quickly as a manageable family dog and develop into a great partner at his people's side. Jerry is chipped, vaccinated, dewormed, examined by a veterinarian, neutered and has an EU pet passport. Who will finally give this cheerful little guy the life he dreams of? Contact (WhatsApp): Note: Jerry currently lives in a public shelter on Crete. As a non-profit animal welfare association, we support dogs in need - and also Jerry - in finding a responsible home and advise on all possible steps. Origin: Greece.

Kleiner, liebevoller Pinscher ähnl. Mix, 5J., lebhaft und sozialverträglich, kastriert Jerry ist ein kleinformatiger Hund aus dem griechischen Tierschutz, der seine Menschen sucht. Mit seinen nur ca. 8 kg bringt er zwar nicht viel Gewicht auf die Waage – dafür aber umso mehr Energie, Persönlichkeit und Lebensfreude. Geboren etwa im Mai 2021, lebt Jerry seit Juni 2025 in einem öffentlichen griechischen Shelter. Er wurde auf der Straße gefunden. Offenbar hatte er vorher eine Familie, denn in den ersten Tagen hat Jerry ganz furchtbar geweint, bevor er sich mit seinem Schicksal, nicht mehr gewollt zu sein, abfand. Trotz dieser Umstände hat sich Jerry seinen offenen und freundlichen Charakter bewahrt: Er geht aktiv auf Menschen zu und genießt jede Aufmerksamkeit, die er bekommen kann, findet alle und alles toll und möchte so gern erkunden. An Leine und Geschirr ist Jerry bereits gewöhnt und hat bei Spaziergängen den Spaß seines Lebens! Neugierig, voller Energie und mit strahlender Freude genießt er jeden Moment draußen. Leider sind im Tierheim Ausflüge dieser Art nur sehr selten möglich, und Jerry sehnt sich sehr nach einem eigenen, aktiven Zuhause. Daher sind wir ihm herzlich gern dabei behilflich, endlich bundesweit sein Für Immer Zuhause zu finden. Jerry ist ein aufgeweckter, bewegungsfreudiger Hund, der Beschäftigung und Auslastung braucht. Er wäre der perfekte Begleiter für Menschen, die gerne unterwegs sind und Lust haben, gemeinsam mit ihm die Welt zu entdecken. Auch Schmusen steht bei ihm hoch im Kurs. Der gemeinsame Besuch einer Hundeschule wäre mit Sicherheit eine riesengroße Freude für den lernfreudigen kleinen Schatz, denn er hat große Lust zu allen erdenkliche gemeinsamen Aktivitäten, ebenso wie gemütliche Abende auf der Couch. Mit Zeit, Geduld und liebevoller Führung wird sich Jerry sicher schnell als handlicher Familienhund bewähren und zu einem tollen Partner an der Seite seiner Menschen entwickeln. Jerry ist gechippt, geimpft, entwurmt, tierärztlich untersucht, kastriert und hat einen EU Tierpass. Wer schenkt diesem fröhlichen kleinen Kerl endlich das Leben, von dem er träumt? Kontakt (WhatsApp): Hinweis: Jerry lebt aktuell in einem öffentlichen Shelter auf Kreta. Als gemeinnütziger Tierschutzverein unterstützen wir Hunde in Not – und auch Jerry – dabei, ein verantwortungsvolles Zuhause zu finden und beraten bei allen denkbaren Schritten. Herkunft: Griechenland.

About Jerry

What life with Jerry looks like

Jerry is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jerry, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jerry?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jerry on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jerry if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Südkreta 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Jerry 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 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 Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jerry 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.
