Jonathan

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Jonathan ist ein besonderer Hund – klein im Körper, aber mit einem großen Herdenschützer‑Herz. Er wurde am 4. April 2019 geboren, ist etwa 48 cm groß und zeigt sich freundlich und sozial im Umgang mit anderen Hunden. Menschen gegenüber ist Jonathan zunächst zurückhaltend. Er braucht Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen, doch mit Ruhe, Geduld und einem klaren, verlässlichen Umgang öffnet er sich Schritt für Schritt.Typisch für Hunde mit Herdenschutzanteilen ist Jonathan aufmerksam, eigenständig und territorial. Er möchte seine Umgebung überblicken, klare Strukturen haben und Menschen an seiner Seite wissen, die seine Eigenschaften verstehen und ihm Sicherheit geben. Ein ruhiges, ländliches Zuhause wäre für ihn ideal – gerne mit Hof oder Garten, wo er sich wohlfühlen und seine Rolle ausleben kann, ohne überfordert zu werden.Wer Jonathan Zeit schenkt, ihn in seinem Tempo ankommen lässt und seine besonderen Eigenschaften zu schätzen weiß, bekommt einen loyalen Begleiter. In seinem kleinen Körper steckt viel Charakter, und wenn er Vertrauen fasst, zeigt er, wie viel Herz in ihm steckt.Jonathan ist geimpft, gechippt und kastriert und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle mit einem Schutzvertrag vermittelt.

About Jonathan

What life with Jonathan looks like

Jonathan is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

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 Jonathan, answered.

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