Adopt Jimbo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

People-oriented, alert, friendly. Jimbo has already been through a lot. He belonged to the owners of a shop who simply tied him outside. As is common in Greece, there was also a pack of stray dogs there. Unfortunately, Jimbo was one day attacked by them without being able to defend himself. He was treated at the veterinary clinic but continued to deteriorate. Tests showed that he was infected with Corona. As he got worse, he had to stay in the clinic for several days. After arriving at the animal shelter, he had to be isolated for a whole month to prevent infecting other dogs. The tests also showed a high leishmaniasis titer, for which he is already being treated. Unfortunately, he initially reacted negatively to the medication and suffered kidney failure. Our volunteer helper Lisa took loving care of him. He received regular infusions and was given his medication frequently. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our team, he survived. Jimbo is a friendly, people-oriented male dog. He enjoys contact with humans very much and is always happy for cuddles! He is also very social when dealing with other animals. He clearly communicates when something is not to his liking, but is never aggressive. For Jimbo we wish a home with a garden where he can relax and play in the sun. They are all vaccinated, microchipped, and have an EU certificate. They are checked for Mediterranean diseases according to their age. See information on our website. Every dog placed makes room for one of the dogs that have to struggle through life hungry and emaciated.

menschenbezogen, wachsam, freundlich Jimbo hat schon so einiges mitmachen müssen. Er gehörte den Besitzern eines Ladens, welche ihn einfach draußen anbanden. Wie in Griechenland üblich, gab es auch dort ein Rudel von Straßenhunden. Leider wurde Jimbo eines Tages von ihnen zerbissen ohne dass er sich wehren konnte. Er wurde in der Tierklinik behandelt doch baute trotzdem weiter ab. Tests ergaben, dass er an Corona erkrankt war. Da es ihm zunehmend schlechter ging, musste er einige Tage in der Klinik verbringen. Anschließend im Tierheim angekommen musste er einen ganzen Monat isoliert werden, um keine anderen Hunde anzustecken. Die Tests ergaben außerdem einen Hohen Leishmaniose Titer, wogegen er bereits behandelt wird. Leider reagierte er zu Beginn negativ auf die Medikamente und es kam zu einem Nierenversagen. Unsere Freiwillige Helferin Lisa kümmerte sich liebevoll um ihn. Er bekam regelmäßig Infusionen gelegt und engmaschig seine Medikamente. Dank des unermüdlichen Einsatzes unseres Teams hat er überlebt. Jimbo ist ein freundlicher, menschenbezogener Rüde. Er genießt den Kontakt zum Menschen sehr und freut sich immer über Streicheleinheiten! Auch im Umgang mit Artgenossen ist er sehr sozial. Er kommuniziert klar, wenn ihm etwas nicht passt, ist dabei jedoch nie Aggressiv. Für Jimbo wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause mit Garten zum in der Sonne faulenzen und toben. sind alle geimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Ausweis. Sie werden altersentsprechend auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten gecheckt. Siehe dazu Info auf unserer Homepage. Jeder vermittelte Hunde macht Platz für einen jener Hunde, die hungernd und ausgemergelt ihr Dasein fristen müssen. AUFENTHALTSORT

About Jimbo

What life with Jimbo looks like

Jimbo is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. in Greece.

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 Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jimbo, answered.

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