Tin Tin

Jack Russell Terrier · Male

Hello, I'm the little playful Feger Tin Tin. Together with Mana and Lule, I had to sadly take the path to the animal shelter as our owner passed away. Now I'm on the lookout for a great big luck. I'm an active, witty little boy who loves to do lots of things and discover the world. My caretakers could easily imagine a nice female dog in my new home, but not younger children, as they would overwhelm me. Basically, I'm just a really nice dog who's missing the right home. Do you have a chance to explore the world with me? Then fix a phone call and arrange a walk date.

Hallöchen, ich bin der kleine lustige Feger Tin Tin. Zusammen mit Mana und Lule musste ich leider den Weg ins Tierheim antreten da unser Besitzer verstorben ist. Nun bin ich auf der Suche nach einem großen Glück. Ich bin ein aktiver, witziger kleiner Junge, der Lust hat viel zu unternehmen und die Welt zu entdecken. Eine nette Hündin könnten sich meine Pfleger gut im neuen Zuhause vorstellen, weniger aber Kinder im jungen Alter, diese würden mich überfordern. Im Grunde bin ich ein absolut netter Hund, dem lediglich das passende Zuhause fehlt. Habt ihr Lust mit mir die Welt zu entdecken? Dann fix ans Telefon und ein Gassidate vereinbaren.

About Tin Tin

What life with Tin Tin looks like

Tin Tin is a large adult jack russell terrier dog waiting at Tierheim Essen in Essen.

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 Tin Tin, answered.

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