Jordao

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Story: Jordao was found in Portugal in a hole filled with water. He could no longer get out on his own, but fortunately he was discovered in time and could be rescued. No one knows how long he had been sitting in that hole, desperately trying to get out. He now lives at our partner shelter and is looking for a loving home from there. Behavior: When Jordao arrived at the shelter, his nose was injured and raw, which has already healed very well and will surely be completely healed soon. He was in shock and for the first few days was in a kind of frozen state, barely moving, but at least he accepted his food and ate. Thanks to the attention of the shelter staff, after a few days things improved, and Jordao understood that everything is now okay and that he is safe here. Day by day, more of his true self came to light, and he showed his friendly and affectionate nature. He enjoys attention, likes going for walks outside, and loves exploring the surroundings. He gets along well with other dogs and currently lives together with Rebeca, who has also helped him come out of his shell more. Needs: For Jordao we wish for a loving home where he can arrive calmly and settle in. With people who help his soul continue to heal and who gladly show him the sunny side of life. His new home should ideally be in a rural location; a secured garden would also be nice for him. Any children in the household should already be older. Jordao would surely have nothing against a confident dog buddy.

Geschichte: Jordao wurde in Portugal in einem Loch voll mit Wasser entdeckt. Alleine kam er dort nicht mehr raus und wurde zum Glück rechtzeitig entdeckt und konnte gerettet werden. Niemand weiß, wie lange er schon in diesem Loch saß und verzweifelt probierte heraus zu kommen. Er lebt jetzt in unserem Partnertierheim und sucht von dort aus ein liebevolles Zuhause. Verhalten: Als Jordao ins Tierheim kam, war seine Nase verletzt und wund, was nun schon sehr gut verheilt ist und sicher bald ganz verheilt ist. Er stand unter Schock und war die ersten Tage in einer Art Schockstarre, hat sich kaum bewegt, aber immerhin nahm er sein Futter an und fraß. Durch die Zuwendung der Tierheimmitarbeiterinnen wurde es nach einigen Tagen besser und Jordao hat verstanden, dass jetzt alles gut wird und er hier in Sicherheit ist. So kam Tag für Tag mehr von seinem wahren ich zum Vorschein und er zeigte seine freundliche und anhängliche Art. Er freut sich über die Aufmerksamkeit, geht gerne draußen spazieren und erkundet dabei gerne die Umgebung. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich gut und lebt aktuell mit Rebeca zusammen, die ihm auch geholfen hat, mehr aus sich heraus zu kommen. Bedürfnisse: Für Jordao wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem er in Ruhe ankommen und sich einleben kann. Mit Menschen, die seiner Seele helfen weiter zu heilen und ihm gerne die Sonnenseiten des Lebens zeigen. Sein neues Zuhause sollte eher ländlich gelegen sein, auch ein gesicherter Garten wäre schön für ihn. Vorhandene Kinder im Haushalt sollten bereits älter sein. Gegen einen souveränen Hundekumpel hätte Jordao sicher nichts einzuwenden.

About Jordao

What life with Jordao looks like

Jordao is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tiersinfonie Anou 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jordao, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jordao?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tiersinfonie Anou e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jordao on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jordao if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tiersinfonie Anou 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Jordao 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 Jordao 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 Tiersinfonie Anou e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jordao 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.
