How do I contact the shelter about Werner?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Werner on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Werner if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken 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 Werner 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 Werner 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 Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken early rather than rehoming privately; they know Werner 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.

Adopt Werner

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Senior · 12 years

Werner is a friendly dog, who, however, is completely deaf and therefore sometimes shows insecurity in certain situations. As a Jack Russell-mixed breed, Werner loves being outdoors and has a lot of energy. He is fit and a lively dog who moves around the environment openly and with interest. He also approaches strangers with interest and friendliness. Being alone is not one of his strengths; it happens that he barks and becomes restless. For Werner, we are looking for people with dog experience who are able to work with body language and also read his body language. He is fundamentally a loving dog and knows how to live with cats, but also puts a lot of energy into the house. Werner wishes for a quiet home where he can be appropriately stimulated and where his special needs due to deafness are taken into account. Due to his deafness, we do not recommend him to children. Interested parties for Werner please send an email to:

Werner ist ein freundlicher Hund, der jedoch gänzlich taub ist und daher in manchen Situationen Unsicherheit an den Tag legt. Als Jack Russel-Mischling ist Werner gerne draußen unterwegs und hat auch viel Energie. Er ist fit und ein lebensfroher Hund, der sich offen und interessiert in der Umwelt bewegt. Auch auf fremde Menschen geht er interessiert und freundlich zu. Alleine Bleiben zählt nicht zu seinen Stärken, es kommt vor, dass er bellt und sich unruhig verhält. Für Werner suchen wir Menschen, die über Hundeerfahrung verfügen und in der Lage sind, über Körpersprache zu arbeiten und auch seine Körpersprache zu lesen. Er ist grundsätzlich ein lieber Hund und kennt das Zusammenleben mit Katzen, legt aber auch in der Wohnung viel Energie an den Tag. Werner wünscht sich ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem er artgerecht ausgelastet wird und auf seine speziellen Bedürfnisse aufgrund der Taubheit eingegangen wird. Zu Kindern vermitteln wir ihn aufgrund der Taubheit nicht. Interessenten für Werner senden bitte eine E-Mail an:

About Werner

What life with Werner looks like

Werner is a senior jack russell terrier dog waiting at Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken in Saarbrücken.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
