Jumbo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Jumbo, a fit senior dog, was found in a very sad and difficult situation after his friend was run over in the street and left behind alone. Jumbo himself wanted to stay with him, but the danger of being hit by a car was far too great, so we took him in. Now Jumbo is looking for a quiet, rural home with a garden where he can spend his golden years in peace. Although he is already of retirement age, he remains active and very well-balanced. He enjoys being petted and receiving attention. Jumbo has most likely spent his entire life on the street, and we do not want to expose him to much hustle and bustle anymore. His age and his needs must be taken into account. With his calm demeanor, Jumbo will be a loving companion who appreciates walks in the forest just as much as relaxing evenings on the sofa. Jumbo has already mastered his first attempts on the leash really well. If you have fallen in love with Jumbo and would like to offer him such a loving home, please contact us. We can discuss everything else together to ensure that Jumbo is a good fit for your home. Jumbo and we look forward to hearing from you. After a positive pre-adoption check, Jumbo may soon move into his new home vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, deflead, neutered, and with an EU pet passport, for a protection fee of 160 euros.

Jumbo, ein fitter Seniorhund, wurde in einer sehr traurigen und für ihn schwierigen Situation gefunden, nachdem sein Freund auf der Straße überfahren und alleine zurückgelassen wurde. Jumbo selbst wollte bei ihm bleiben, aber die Gefahr, angefahren zu werden, war viel zu groß, sodass wir ihn aufnahmen. Jetzt sucht Jumbo ein ruhiges und ländliches Zuhause mit einem Garten, um seinen Lebensabend in Frieden zu verbringen. Obwohl er bereits im Rentenalter ist, bleibt ist er noch aktiv und auch sehr ausgeglichen. Er genießt Streicheleinheiten und Aufmerksamkeit. Jumbo hat vermutlich sein ganzes Leben auf der Straße verbracht, viel Trubel möchten wir ihm nicht mehr zumuten. Sein Alter und seine Bedürfnisse müssen berücksichtigt werden. Mit seinem ruhigen Verhalten wird Jumbo ein liebevoller Begleiter sein, der Spaziergänge im Wald ebenso schätzt wie entspannte Abende auf dem Sofa. Die ersten Versuche an der Leine hat Jumbo schon richtig toll gemeistert. Wenn Sie sich in Jumbo verliebt haben und ihm ein solches liebevolles Zuhause bieten möchten, kontaktieren Sie uns bitte. Wir können gemeinsam alles Weitere besprechen, um sicherzustellen, dass Jumbo in Ihr Zuhause passt. Jumbo und wir freuen uns auf Sie. Bei positiver Vorkontrolle darf Jumbo schon bald geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, entfloht, kastriert und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 160 Euro in sein neues Zuhause ziehen. Nach vorheriger Absprache darf Jumbo in 26939 Ovelgönne besucht und kennengelernt werden.

About Jumbo

What life with Jumbo looks like

Jumbo is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Jumbo, answered.

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