Adopt Jessy

Mixed Breed · Female

Jessy – a heart on four paws is looking for her home. Jessy is not a dog for “on the side” – and that’s exactly what makes her so special. She is a cheerful, energetic, and sporty female dog who loves life and wants to enjoy every day actively. Walks, exercise, shared adventures, and mental stimulation are simply part of who she is. This wonderful furry friend needs not just physical activity but also a chance to work with her brain. Anyone who enjoys training, mental stimulation, and growing together will find an amazing partner in Jessy. For all her energy, Jessy is a real cuddle bug. She thrives on closeness, loves affection, and seeks deep connection with “her” people. What matters to her is clear, calm, and structured leadership – people who give her security and show her how beautiful a shared path can be. There should be no cats in her new home, but there should be people with heart, time, and joy in an active dog. Once Jessy has found a place in your heart, you’ll have a loyal, life-loving companion who makes every day a little brighter. If you are interested, please feel free to get in touch at !

About Jessy

What life with Jessy looks like

Jessy is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tiere in Not Breisgau e.V. in Freiburg.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Jessy, answered.

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