Adopt Junior

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Born: circa 2020/2021 Breed: German Shepherd mix compatibility with others: Not compatible (at least not currently in the animal shelter, this may change in the home or at work with good dog training classes) Current location: animal shelter Sokolka (Poland) Reason for surrender: Junior is a temperamental, active male dog who definitely needs a owner who is willing to spend a lot of time with their dog but is also willing to attend good dog training classes. For he has not yet been trained. He is very people-oriented, friendly, and gentle. Other dogs he does not like, so we are looking for a responsible single spot for him. The children should be in a youthful age and stand firm 🙂 A great dog who is also visually distinctive. Ideal for active people.

Geboren: ca. 2020/2021 Rasse: Schäferhund-Mischling Verträglichkeit: Nicht verträglich (zumindest derzeit im Tierheim nicht, das kann sich ggf. ändern im Zuhause bzw. in der Arbeit mit einer guten Hundeschule) Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Sokolka (Polen) Abgabegrund: Fundhund Junior ist ein temperamentvoller, aktiver Rüde, der auf jeden Fall Besitzer sucht, die gerne viel Zeit mit ihrem Hund verbringen, aber auch bereit sind, eine gute Hundeschule zu besuchen. Denn Erziehung kennt er noch nicht. Er ist sehr menschenbezogen, freundlich und sanft. Andere Hunde mag er nicht, deshalb suchen wir für ihn einen verantwortungsvollen Einzelplatz. Die Kinder sollten im jugendlichen Alter und standfest sein 🙂 Ein toller Hund, der auch optisch etwas Besonderes ist. Ideal für aktive Menschen. Seine großen Ohren machen ihn unverwechselbar 🙂

About Junior

What life with Junior looks like

Junior is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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 Junior, answered.

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