Julius

Male · Young · 3 years

Julius is a pubertal puppy who enjoys calm walks. He is initially a bit suspicious of strangers, but he has a "love through the stomach" approach. Once Julius has gained trust, he is a great guy who loves being with his people. When it comes to other dogs, he decides whether he likes them based on their personality, and the other dog's gender doesn't matter to him. Since Julius still has to learn the complete dog ABCs, his new owners should take him to dog training classes. Julius is suitable for children aged 14 and up. Breed experience required!. This is a young, adolescent dog.

DE·Show original

Julius ist ein pubertierender Junghund, der gemütliche Spaziergänge mag. Er ist Anfangs bei Fremden etwas misstrauisch, allerdings geht bei ihm „die Liebe durch den Magen“. Wenn Julius Vertrauen gefasst hat, ist er ein toller Kerl, der gerne mit seinen Menschen zusammen ist. Bei anderen Hunden entscheidet er nach Sympathie, ob er sie mag oder nicht. Dabei spielt das Geschlecht des anderen Hundes für ihn keine Rolle. Da Julius noch das komplette Hunde-ABC lernen muss, sollten seine neuen Besitzer mit ihm in die Hundeschule gehen. Julius ist für Kinder ab 14 Jahre geeignet. Rasseerfahrung erforderlich!

About Julius

What life with Julius looks like

Julius is a young adult dog waiting at Tierheim Gelsenkirchen in Gelsenkirchen.

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 Julius, answered.

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