Jerry

Mixed Breed · Male

Description Our animal welfare workers report: Jerry originally came from southern Spain. There, he lived with an older man who unfortunately did not take good care of the dear Jerry. The loving male dog had some skin problems when he arrived at the animal shelter in Lleida. Whether it was due to bad food or lack of parasite protection, we do not know. Jerry was also quite thin when he arrived at the animal shelter. He needs to be fattened up. But the good news is: his skin problems have already improved a lot. So we assume that with good care and regular, good food, he will have no problems at all soon. Jerry is a friendly, loving fellow who is a bit shy at first. But his trust can be won quickly with friendly words and a calm approach. Then the handsome mixed breed enjoys cuddles. He just needs a little time to open up. Very likely, he has not only had good experiences in his earlier life. He gets along well with other dogs in the animal shelter and now even plays happily. Jerry now needs a loving, caring home that will help him grow. He wants to become a beloved family member and looks forward to walks together. The animal welfare workers estimate Jerry to be about 2 years older than stated in the passport/photo. Jerry is not a small dog, and when he grows, he will surely have a lot of strength. His people should know that. Please note:

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: Jerry kommt ursprünglich aus Südspanien. Dort lebte er bei einem älteren Mann, der den lieben Jerry leider nicht gut versorgte. Der liebe Rüde hatte einige Hautprobleme als er nach Lleida ins Tierheim kam. Ob es am schlechten Futter lag, oder ob er keinen Parasitenschutz bekam, wir wissen es nicht. Jerry war auch zu dünn als er ins Tierheim kam. Er muss aufgepäppelt werden.Aber das Gute ist: seine Hautprobleme sind schon viel besser geworden. Also gehen wir davon aus, dass er bei guter Pflege und regelmäßigem, gutem Futter bald keinerlei Probleme mehr haben wird.Jerry ist ein freundlicher, lieber Kerl, der anfangs ein klein bisschen schüchtern ist. Aber man kann sein Vertrauen schnell gewinnen, mit freundlicher Ansprache und ruhiger Annäherung. Dann genießt der schöne Mischling die Streicheleinheiten. Er benötigt einfach etwas Zeit um sich zu öffnen. Sehr wahrscheinlich hat er in seinem früheren Leben nicht nur gute Erfahrungen gemacht.Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich gut im Tierheim, er spielt mittlerweile auch gerne.Jerry braucht nun ein liebevolles, fürsorgliches Zuhause, das ihn noch etwas aufpäppelt. Er möchte ein geliebtes Familienmitglied werden und freut sich auf gemeinsame Spaziergänge. Die Tierschützer schätzen Jerry auf ca. 2 Jahre älter als im Pass / Steckbrief angegeben.Jerry ist kein kleiner Hund und wenn er aufblüht wird er sicher viel Kraft haben. Das sollten seine Menschen wissen :-) Bitte beachten Sie:Die Rückmeldungen der Tierheime spiegeln das aktuelle Verhalten der hier zur

About Jerry

What life with Jerry looks like

Jerry is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen 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. 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, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jerry?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierischgeholfen 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 — Tierischgeholfen 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 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 Tierischgeholfen 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.
