Jerry und Joe

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Jerry and Joe are two black male degus looking for a loving new home with an existing (senior) group. Born in March 2020, they are about 6.5 years old, unneutered males. They currently live in 82008 Unterhaching. No health issues known. One has one less finger since birth, the other a slightly curved nail - neither affects them. Having recently lost their brothers, they are re-establishing their hierarchy but remain peaceful with each other. Jerry and Joe are curious and affectionate towards humans. They love coming out for snacks or attention when the enclosure is opened. They particularly enjoy their daylight lamp and aluminum exercise wheel, which I can provide if needed. Their accessories and food can also be transferred upon request. Upon agreement, I am willing to bring them or meet interested parties. As I am ending my degus after many years and Jerry and Joe are my last two, I hope they find an experienced and loving home where they can spend their golden years together. They will only be given away together, with a deposit and a contract.

Schweren Herzens suche ich für unsere beiden schwarzen Degu-Männer Jerry und Joe ein liebevolles, neues Zuhause in einer bestehenden (Senioren-)gruppe. Die beiden wurden im März 2020 geboren, sind etwa 6,5 Jahre alt, männlich und nicht kastriert. Sie wohnen aktuell in 82008 Unterhaching. Gesundheitlich sind keine Probleme bekannt. Einer der beiden hat seit der Geburt einen Finger weniger, der andere einen leicht gekrümmten Nagel – beides beeinträchtigt sie nicht. Nachdem sie vor Kurzem ihre Brüder verloren haben, klären sie ihre Rangordnung neu, gehen dabei aber weiterhin friedlich miteinander um. Jerry und Joe sind Menschen gegenüber neugierig und zutraulich. Sobald das Gehege geöffnet wird, kommen sie gerne auf einen Snack oder etwas Aufmerksamkeit vorbei. Besonders gerne nutzen sie ihre Tageslichtlampe und ihr Alu-Laufrad, das ich bei Bedarf gerne mitgebe. Auf Wunsch kann außerdem ihr Zubehör und Futter übernommen werden. Nach Absprache bin ich auch bereit, die beiden zu bringen oder Interessenten entgegenzufahren. Da ich die Deguhaltung nach vielen Jahren beende und Jerry und Joe meine letzten beiden Degus sind, wünsche ich mir für sie ein erfahrenes und liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie gemeinsam ihren Lebensabend verbringen dürfen. Die Abgabe erfolgt ausschließlich gemeinsam, gegen Schutzgebühr und mit Schutzvertrag.

About Jerry und Joe

What life with Jerry und Joe looks like

Jerry und Joe is a adult mixed breed animal waiting at Deguhilfe Süd e.V. in Obermichelbach.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Jerry und Joe far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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 und Joe, answered.

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