Juri

German Shepherd · Male · Young · 3 years

We took Juri in from another animal shelter. He originally comes from Bulgaria. He is friendly and people-oriented. He is open to strangers, but it takes him a bit longer to form a real bond. Unfortunately, he hasn't had much experience so far and common commands like "sit" or "stay" are currently foreign words to him. Since Juri likes to be outside, he would like a home in a rural area with a securely fenced garden. Due to his watchfulness, a row house is not ideal for him. Cats or small animals should not be present, as he would hunt them. Juri also loves long walks. He likes to explore new paths and is well-behaved on a leash. He usually ignores oncoming dogs, as long as they also behave calmly and appropriately.

DE·Show original

Wir haben Juri von einem anderen Tierschutzverein übernommen. Ursprünglich stammt er aus Bulgarien. Er ist freundlich und menschenbezogen. Auch Fremden begegnet er aufgeschlossen, doch um eine richtige Bindung aufzubauen, braucht er etwas länger. Leider hat er bisher nicht viel kennengelernt und gänige Kommandos wie „Sitz“ oder „Platz“ sind aktuell Fremdwörter für ihn. Da Juri gern draußen ist, wünscht er sich ein Zuhause in ländlicher Umgebung mit einem sicher eingezäunten Garten. Aufgrund seiner Wachsamkeit eignet sich ein Reihenhaus eher weniger für ihn. Katzen oder Kleintiere sollten nicht vorhanden sein, da er diese jagen würde. Auch ausgedehnte Spaziergänge liebt Juri sehr. Dabei erkundet er gern neue Wege und zeigt sich gut leinenführig. Entgegenkommende Hunde ignoriert er in der Regel, sofern diese sich ebenfalls ruhig und angemessen verhalten.

About Juri

What life with Juri looks like

Juri is an extra-large young adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Hannover in Hannover.

A young 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 Juri, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Juri?: 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 Juri on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Juri 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 Juri 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 Juri 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 Juri 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.
