adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Now request this dog! Jippie is simply perfect. He has only one "flaw": the wrong breed. For he is at heart a loving lap dog and a playful chatterbox. One who almost overflows with joy when he sees people. One who seeks proximity and simply wants to belong. Jippie is approximately 6 years old and an American-Staffordshire-Mix male dog. For many years, he spent his life isolated in a dirty pen on a property. The only person who occasionally took him for walks has passed away. After that, Jippie was left to himself – confined, without reliable access to food or water. The amount of loneliness he endured is hard to fathom. Currently, he is housed in a private shelter in Romania. There, he at least has regular human contact. Our helper Mada visits him as often as she can, gives him attention, and even teaches him some real tricks because he is a genuinely eager, smart little guy. Jippie's heart leaps with joy in these brief moments of attention – and it breaks every time she leaves and he is left alone. With other dogs, he shows social and compatible behavior. He is active, curious, and loves to sniff and explore his surroundings. On the leash, he walks well, and he accepts a harness without a problem. Of course, Jippie likely still doesn't know all the routines of a family dog. House training, fixed schedules, basic commands – all of this he will continue to learn. But he brings the most important things: a desire for attachment, a willingness to learn, and a big heart for people. With clear guidance, patience, and positive instruction, he will make his way. As an American-Staffordshire-Mix, Jippie unfortunately falls into the category of so-called pit bull breeds. Therefore, an entry into Germany is legally not possible. Depending on the country, different regulations apply – we are happy to advise individually. Jippie is searching for a responsible, dog-experienced home that is not guided by preconceptions but sees his loving heart. He is searching for people who know what it means to give a powerful, sensitive dog security and stability. And who are ready to finally give him what he most desires: proximity and belonging. He travels neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and flea-treated with a valid EU pet passport.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt diesen Hund anfragen! Jippie ist einfach perfekt. Er hat nur einen „Fehler“: die falsche Rasse. Denn eigentlich ist er im Herzen ein liebevoller Schoßhund und ein lustiger Quatschkopf. Einer, der sich fast überschlägt vor Freude, wenn er Menschen sieht. Einer, der Nähe sucht und einfach dazugehören möchte. Jippie ist etwa 6 Jahre alt und ein American-Staffordshire-Mix-Rüde. Viele Jahre seines Lebens verbrachte er isoliert in einem verdreckten Zwinger auf einem Grundstück. Der einzige Mensch, der ab und zu mit ihm spazieren ging, ist verstorben. Danach war Jippie sich selbst überlassen – eingesperrt, ohne verlässlichen Zugang zu Futter oder Wasser. Wie viel Einsamkeit er aushalten musste, kann man kaum begreifen. Aktuell ist er in einem privaten Shelter in Rumänien untergebracht. Dort hat er zumindest einigermaßen regelmäßig Menschenkontakt. Unsere Helferin Mada besucht ihn so oft sie kann, schenkt ihm Aufmerksamkeit und bringt ihm sogar schon richtig viele Tricks bei, denn er ist ein richtig lernwilliger, schlauer Bub. Jippies Herz hüpft vor Freude, in diesen kurzen Momenten der Aufmerksamkeit – und es bricht jedes Mal, wenn sie wieder geht und er allein zurückbleibt. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt er sich sozial und verträglich. Er ist aktiv, neugierig und liebt es zu schnüffeln und seine Umgebung zu erkunden. An der Leine läuft er gut, ein Geschirr akzeptiert er problemlos. Natürlich kennt Jippie vermutlich noch nicht alle Abläufe eines Familienhundes. Stubenreinheit, feste Routinen, Grundkommandos – all das wird er weiter lernen müssen. Aber er bringt das Wichtigste mit: Bindungswillen, Lernbereitschaft und ein großes Herz für Menschen. Mit klarer Führung, Geduld und positiver Anleitung wird er seinen Weg gehen. Als American-Staffordshire-Mix zählt Jippie leider zu den sogenannten Listenhunden. Eine Einreise nach Deutschland ist daher gesetzlich nicht möglich. Je nach Land gelten unterschiedliche Regelungen – hierzu beraten wir gerne individuell. Jippie sucht ein verantwortungsbewusstes, hundeerfahrenes Zuhause, das sich nicht von Vorurteilen leiten lässt, sondern sein liebevolles Herz sieht. Er sucht Menschen, die wissen, was es bedeutet, einem kraftvollen, sensiblen Hund Sicherheit und Stabilität zu geben. Und die bereit sind, ihm endlich das zu schenken, wonach er sich am meisten sehnt: Nähe und Zugehörigkeit. Er reist kastriert, geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und entfloht mit gültigem EU-Heimtierausweis.

About Jippie

What life with Jippie looks like

Jippie is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

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 Jippie, answered.

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