How do I contact the shelter about Jessica?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jessica on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Jessica if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 Jessica 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 Jessica 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 Franz von Assisi e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jessica 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.

Adopt Jessica

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 17 years

Jessica - charming elderly female dog seeks a place for her golden years → Breed: mixed breed→ Gender: female→ Born: 2009 → Size / Weight: 50 cm / 23 kg→ Neutered: yes→ Vaccinated: yes→ Chip: yes→ Compatible with: male and female dogs→ Incompatible with: n/a→ Sponsorship possible: yesDescription: Jessica, the 15-year-old pretty, feisty grandma, lived for a long time near a building. There, she was accepted, fed, and cared for by neighbors. After her sudden, mysterious disappearance and a long search, Jessica was found at a highway. Bringing her back to her original place was not an option for obvious reasons. In the shelter, she is safe and has lived there from the beginning in community with the similarly aged Opa Didi. Jessica is a cuddly and loving female dog who doesn't show her age. She is compatible with fellow animals of both genders. She enjoys people but, due to her age, has her own, diva-like mind, sometimes signaling no interest in a walk. She wishes for a family or individual who would accompany her last years with understanding and even more love. An ideal setting would be a property with its own garden where Jessica could "enjoy her place in the sun." Who would like to give Jessica a beautiful time? Then we look forward to your call. {youtube} Note:

Jessica - charmante Hundedame sucht Platz für Lebensabend → Rasse: Mischling→ Geschlecht: weiblich→ Geboren: 2009 → Grösse / Gewicht: 50 cm / 23 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: jaBeschreibung: Jessica, die 15jährige hübsche, charakterstarke Oma, lebte lange vor einem Gebäude. Dort war sie akzeptiert, wurde von Anwohnern gefüttert und versorgt. Nach ihrem plötzlichen, rätselhaften Verschwinden und langer Suche wurde Jessica an einer Autobahn aufgefunden. Sie an ihren angestammten Platz zurückzubringen war aus naheliegenden Gründen keine Option. In der Pension ist sie in Sicherheit und lebt dort von Beginn an in Gemeinschaft mit dem etwa gleichaltrigen Opa Didi. Jessica ist eine verschmuste und liebe Hündin, der man ihr Alter nicht ansieht. Sie ist verträglich mit Artgenossen beiderlei Geschlechts. Gerne wendet sie sich Menschen zu, hat aber altersbedingt ihren eigenen, divenhaften Kopf, der auch schon mal keine Lust auf einen Spaziergang signalisiert. Sie wünscht sich eine Familie oder Einzelperson, die ihre letzten Jahre mit Verständnis und noch mehr Liebe begleiten. Ideal wäre ein Anwesen mit eigenem Garten, wo Jessica „ihren Platz an der Sonne“ genießen könnte. Wer möchte Jessica noch eine schöne Zeit schenken? Dann freuen wir uns auf Ihren Anruf. {youtube} Hinweis:Dieses Tier befindet sich noch im Ausland und sucht einen Pflege- o

About Jessica

What life with Jessica looks like

Jessica is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
