Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Justin - a stubborn senior is looking for his forever home ❤️ Breed: Chihuahua Age: 13 years. Gender: male. Neutered: Yes. Vaccinated: Yes. Microchip: Yes Justin, a purebred, neutered Chihuahua, came to our shelter as a surrendered dog. Although he is 13 years old, he is far from being old and still has a lot of energy. Justin is a very intelligent and independent little dog. 🥰 He gets along very well with smaller dogs, but we have not yet tested his reaction to larger dogs. What Justin loves most? Going for walks! 🐾 He enjoys his time outside and is always happy to be on the move. Currently, Justin is still a bit unsure around people. He doesn't always want to be touched or petted. His trust needs to be earned, so we are looking for people who will give him the time he needs and respect his boundaries. Justin has a small heart problem that is well-managed with medication. This does not affect his life expectancy. ❤️ He is currently working hard to lose his extra pounds, as he wants to stay fit even as a senior. 🏃‍♂️ We are looking for a quiet home for Justin, ideally with people who have experience with Chihuahuas, who know that even a small dog can have a big personality and take his needs seriously. 🏡 A home where Justin can just be Justin. 🐾 With patience. ❤️ With understanding. 🥰 And, of course, with plenty of time for walks together. Who will show this stubborn senior that his home is still waiting for him? Call us.

About Justin

What life with Justin looks like

Justin is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Regen in Regen.

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 Justin, answered.

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