Jesse

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

News from the foster home, dated 24.10.2026 Jesse has settled in well at the foster home and is curiously exploring his new surroundings. He is a lovable and open-minded little fellow. Jesse seeks out contact with people and enjoys being petted. He gets along very well with other dogs. He has also already met the house cat and gets along well with her. Walking on the leash is already going fairly well. Everything else still needs to be learned. Jesse is welcome to be met at the foster home. Text and pictures from 16.08.2026 The siblings should have been born around May. They are likely to grow into a nice medium size of roughly 45–50 cm, and their final weight should be around 16 kg, give or take. They are very sociable and cheerful, even toward strangers. For a short time they were also able to meet children at my place. Once the dog children and human children had quickly found each other, we adults had some peace and quiet. This plea for help reached me by a roundabout route this time; it came to me personally via Athens. I had actually agreed to take the mother dog as well, not least to make sure there would be no further litters. The puppies come from the interior of Crete, which is too far for me to be sure of keeping control. Now, I was promised that they would be neutered and that someone in the village would take them in. I can only hope for the best and look after the little ones. By now they have been with me for quite a while and their basic vaccination series is well underway. Thus the possible

Neue Bider vom 10. 11. 2026 Neues von der Pflegestelle vom 24. 10. 2026 Jesse ist gut auf der Pflegestelle angekommen und erkundet interessiert seine neue Umgebung. Er ist ein liebenswerter und aufgeschlossener kleiner Kerl. Jesse sucht den Kontakt zu Menschen und genießt seine Streicheleinheiten. Mit anderen Hunden ist er sehr verträglich. Auch hat er schon die Hauskatze kennengelernt und kommt gut mit ihr klar. An der Leine laufen klappt schon ganz gut. Alles andere muss noch gelernt werden. Jesse kann gerne auf der Pflegestelle kennengelernt werden. Text un Bilder vom 16. 08. 2026 Ungefähr im Mai müssten die Geschwisterchen zur Welt gekommen sein. Sie werden wohl eine schöne Mittelgröße von circa 45-50cm bekommen, das Endgewicht dürfte dann Pi mal Daumen bei 16 kg liegen. Sie sind sehr aufgeschlossen und fröhlich, auch fremden Menschen gegenüber. Kurz durften sie bei mir auch mal Kinder kennenlernen. Wir Erwachsenen hatten daraufhin unsere Ruhe, denn die Hunde- und Menschenkinder hatten sich schnell gesucht und gefunden. Der Hilferuf ging diesmal um viele Ecken, mich persönlich erreichte er über Athen. Eigentlich hatte ich zugesagt, auch die Mama dazu zu nehmen. Nicht zu guter Letzt, um sicher zu gehen, dass es keinen weiteren Nachwuchs geben wird. Denn die Welpen kommen aus dem Binnenland von Kreta, für mich zu weit, um sicher die Kontrolle zu haben. Nun, mir wurde versprochen, dass sie sicher kastriert würden und jemand sie im Dorf aufnimmt. Ich kann nur das Beste hoffen und mich um die Kleinen kümmern. Mittlerweile sind sie schon eine ganze Weile bei mir und die Grundimmunisierung ist fortgeschritten. Somit ist die mögliche

About Jesse

What life with Jesse looks like

Jesse is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Hundehilfe Kreta e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Jesse, answered.

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