Adopt JIMMY

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

JIMMY is a charming, lively little dog with a big personality. He loves long walks and is still in top shape despite his age, running around energetically on our premises. Due to previous bad experiences where his boundaries were not accepted, he reacts very sensitively and clearly shows when he doesn’t want something. Unfortunately, he now also displays strong territorial behavior and defends his territory even from his own people. Therefore, we are looking for people who are willing to work with a dog trainer on his issues and can set clear boundaries for him. Then, you will have a loyal, charming, and witty companion. For JIMMY, we are searching for two-legged individuals with dog experience who can give him security and accept him with his little quirks. He wishes for a quiet home without small children where he can finally find his place. Since he had a herniated disc and will likely always have some issues with it, we are looking for an apartment with a ground-floor home for him.

Jimmy ist ein liebenswerter, aufgeweckter kleiner Hund mit großem Charakter. Er liebt lange Spaziergänge und ist trotz seines Alters noch top fit und tobt bei uns auf dem Gelände. Aufgrund vorheriger schlechter Erfahrungen, in denen er gelernt hat, dass seine Grenzen nicht akzeptiert wurden, reagiert er sehr sensibel und zeigt auch klar, wenn er etwas nicht möchte. Mittlerweile zeigt er leider auch ein stark territoriales Verhalten und verteidigt auch vor seinen eigenen Menschen sein Revier. Daher sucht er Menschen, die bereit sind mit einer Hundetrainer/in an seinen Themen zu arbeiten und ihm klare Grenzen setzen können. Dann wird man einen treuen, liebenswerten und witzigen Begleiter haben. Für Jimmy suchen wir Zweibeiner mit Hundeerfahrung, die ihm Sicherheit geben und ihn mit seinen kleinen Macken so nehmen, wie er ist. Er wünscht sich ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder, in dem er endlich ankommen kann. Da er einen Bandscheibenvorfall hatte und wahrscheinlich immer etwas Probleme damit haben wird, suchen wir für ihn ein ebenerdiges Zuhause.

About JIMMY

What life with JIMMY looks like

JIMMY is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Radolfzell 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting JIMMY, answered.

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