How do I contact the shelter about Jette?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jette on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Jette if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg 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 Jette 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 Jette 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 Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jette 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.

Jette

English Bulldog · Female · Senior · 9 years

Arme "kleine" Jette! Yearlong she was used as a breeding dog, with a total of 33 puppies in the first 7 years. She was then discarded and sold by her breeder. Finally, she seemed to have found happiness. Loving people who allowed her to live with them, many pets and even a cozy bed on the bed. After a uterine infection, she was spayed, but a few months ago she had complaints and blood in her urine. Nowhere did the owners find help; their money was barely enough for living, they simply could not afford the care. At our shelter, she was first treated with painkillers and antibiotics, further examinations will follow on Monday. We hope to alleviate her complaints soon and also reduce her weight a bit.The dear dog is very people-oriented, should be compatible with cats and small animals, and also with congeners she is compatible by sympathy ... our caregiver's sovereign male found her "quite nice".We would be happy if the now 10 year old Jette could find a loving home soon, where she can spend her retirement. Due to her age and weight, she should not have to go up stairs and her home should be accessible by ground level or elevator. If you want to get to know Jette, please visit us personally during the placement times at the animal shelter or write a meaningful email to our caregivers.

Arme "kleine" Jette! Jahrelang wurde sie als Zuchthündin benutzt, insgesamt 33 Welpen soll sie in den ersten 7 Jahren bekommen haben. Von der Züchterin wurde sie dann ausgemustert und verkauft. Endlich schien sie Glück zu haben. Liebe Menschen, bei denen sie Leben konnte, viele Streicheleinheiten und sogar ein gemütliches Schlafplätzchen im Bett. Nach einer Gebärmutterentzündung wurde sie kastriert, vor einigen Monaten hatte sie dann Beschwerden und Blut im Urin. Nirgends fanden die Halter Hilfe, ihr Geld reichte kaum zum Leben, sie konnten sich die Versorgung schlicht nicht leisten. Bei uns wurde sie nun erst einmal mit Schmerzmitteln und Antibiotika versorgt, am Montag folgen weitere Untersuchungen. Wir hoffen ihre Beschwerden bald lindern zu können und auch ihr Gewicht ein wenig zu reduzieren.Die liebe Hündin ist sehr menschenbezogen, soll mit Katzen und Kleintieren bestens verträglich sein, auch mit Artgenossen ist sie nach Sympathie verträglich ... den souveränen Rüden unserer Pflegerin fand sie schonmal "ganz schick".Wir würden uns freuen, wenn die jetzt 10 jährige Jette ganz bald ein liebevolles Zuhause findet, in dem sie ihren Lebensabend verbringen darf. Aufgrund ihres Alters und ihres Gewichtes sollte sie keine Treppen gehen müssen und ihr Zuhause ebenerdig oder mit dem Lift erreichen können. Wenn Sie Jette kennenlernen möchten, kommen Sie gern während der Vermittlungszeiten persönlich im Tierheim vorbei oder schreiben Sie eine aussagekräftige E Mail unter an unsere Tierpflegerinnen.

About Jette

What life with Jette looks like

Jette is a senior english bulldog dog waiting at Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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.
