Jippy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Jippy, a 7-month-old male (born May 2025), is a loving home seeker currently in Romania. He was heartlessly abandoned with his brothers in a box at one of our feeding stations. Fortunately, he was found in time and brought to safety. Jippy is a very social, playful, and enthusiastic young dog who immediately wins over everyone with his friendly nature. He gets along well with other dogs. We can also test his reaction to cats if desired. As Jippy is still so young, he naturally needs to learn a lot - from house training to basic commands. With patience, love, and consistency, he will quickly understand what is expected of him. He currently weighs about 6 kg and has a shoulder height of around 28 cm. The vet estimates he will be medium-sized when fully grown. We are looking for a loving home for Jippy where he can arrive, learn, and discover the world. Who will give this adorable guy a chance at a happy life?

......... sucht liebevolles Zuhause Jippy ist ein etwa 7 Monate alter Rüde (geb. 05/2025), der sich derzeit noch in Rumänien befindet. Gemeinsam mit seinen Brüdern wurde er herzlos in einem Karton an einer unserer Futterstellen ausgesetzt. Zum Glück wurde er rechtzeitig gefunden und in Sicherheit gebracht. Jippy ist ein sehr sozialer, verspielter und begeisterungsfähiger junger Hund, der mit seinem freundlichen Wesen jeden sofort um die Pfote wickelt. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich problemlos. Auf Wunsch können wir auch testen, wie er auf Katzen reagiert. Da Jippy noch so jung ist, muss er selbstverständlich noch vieles lernen – von der Stubenreinheit bis zu den Grundkommandos. Mit Geduld, Liebe und Konsequenz wird er jedoch sicher schnell verstehen, was man von ihm erwartet. Aktuell wiegt er etwa 6 kg und hat eine Schulterhöhe von rund 28 cm. Der Tierarzt schätzt, dass er ausgewachsen etwa mittelgroß sein wird. Für Jippy suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er ankommen, lernen und die Welt entdecken darf. Wer gibt diesem herzigen Kerl die Chance auf ein glückliches Leben?

About Jippy

What life with Jippy looks like

Jippy is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Meuselwitzer Tierschutzinitiative in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Jippy, answered.

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