Juno

Female · Senior · 11 years

Juno is a confident female dog with strong-willed personality who lives by her own rules. She has bitten previous owners and snaps when restricted or touched inappropriately. She shows no warning signs before biting and is especially reactive with strangers and during vet visits. While generally compatible with other dogs during group walks, she displays dominant behavior and prefers being the only dog. She loves water, rolling in leaves, and is highly food-motivated but will guard resources. Juno walks well on leash and has good recall with accepted handlers. She needs an experienced, child-free home on single level with owners who won't be intimidated by her dominant nature.

DE·Show original

Juno ist eine selbstbewusste Hündin mit klaren Vorstellungen. Sie braucht hundeerfahrene Menschen, die konsequent, souverän und ruhig mit ihr arbeiten können. In ihrer Vergangenheit hat Juno mehrfach gebissen. Auch bei uns reagiert sie auf Einschränkungen, Bedrängung oder unangenehme Berührungen mit Schnappen. Das kann vertraute Menschen betreffen, bei Fremden ist besondere Vorsicht nötig. Tierarztbesuche sind für sie sehr schwierig. Mit anderen Hunden ist Juno grundsätzlich verträglich und geht im Tierheim regelmäßig in einer Gruppe spazieren. Im Sozialkontakt zeigt sie sich jedoch sehr selbstbewusst; ein Zuhause als Einzelhund wäre für sie am besten. Juno liebt Wasser, Spaziergänge und Futter. Futter kann ihr im Alltag helfen, sie ist aber bereit, Ressourcen gegenüber Menschen und Hunden zu verteidigen. Gesucht wird ein ebenerdiges, ruhiges und kinderfreies Zuhause bei erfahrenen Hundehaltern, die ihre Körpersprache lesen und klare Grenzen setzen können.

About Juno

What life with Juno looks like

Juno is a large senior dog waiting at Tierheim Hannover in Hannover.

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.

Note from the shelter: Behavioral issues including biting history, resource guarding, and dominance. Requires experienced handler and single-level home.

🇩🇪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 Juno, answered.

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