Thor

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 6 years

Thor(sten) hasn't had much luck in his life so far. Fortunately, he hasn't led a completely unhappy one either. He has been more or less ignored by people and that is really not nice for a loyal lap dog like Thor(sten). We are looking for a family who loves him, cuddles with him and experiences adventures together with him in the sense of a fulfilled dog life. He wants to be led lovingly, his clever head wants to be occupied and his nose wants to sniff around. We can imagine Thor(sten) well as a second dog to an existing animal - he likes female dog much more than dogs. Although he would also get along quite well with a nice male dog. Children in his new family should already be somewhat older and steady.

DE·Show original

Thor(sten) hat in seinem bisherigen Leben noch nicht so ganz viel Glück gehabt. Er hat aber auch - zum Glück - kein komplett unglückliches Leben geführt. Er war den Menschen bisher eher einfach egal und für eine loyale Schmusebacke wie Thor(sten) ist das wirklich nicht schön. Wir suchen für Thor(sten) eine Familie, die ihn liebt, mit ihm kuschelt und die mit ihm Abenteuer im Sinne eines erfüllten Hundelebens erlebt. Er möchte liebevoll geführt werden, sein schlaues Köpfchen möchte beschäftigt werden und seine Nase möchte schnüffeln dürfen. Wir können uns Thor(sten) gut als zweiten Hund zu einem Bestandstier vorstellen - dabei mag Thor(sten) die Hündinnen deutlich lieber als die Rüden. Wobei er mit einem sympathischen Rüden auch ganz gut klar kommen würde. Kinder in seiner neuen Familie sollten schon etwas älter und standfest sein.

About Thor

What life with Thor looks like

Thor is a adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Jübberde in Uplengen.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Thor, answered.

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