JACK

Chihuahua · Male · Adult · 8 years

ACTIVE FINDING: LOOKING FOR A CARING HOME FOR A LITTLE CHIHUAHUA NAMED JACK! Jack is a small dog with a big personality who needs a place where he feels truly understood. He came to us because the other dogs apparently didn't get along with him. On a leash, he can be a whirlwind and react strongly to the big world that can be exciting. But he loves to walk with other dogs. For this energy bomb, we're looking for a house with a fenced garden because Jack loves to run. After a sports session, his battery is already a bit low and the cuddly bear comes out. We're looking for a person who takes the time to guide the sharp edges on the street in the right direction. Someone with a nice garden. And lots of love. CHILDREN: YES DOGS: After getting to know each other CATS: UNKNOWN NEAT: YES

EXTRA INFO : GEZOCHT ACTIEF BAASJE MET EEN GROOT HART VOOR EEN KLEIN CHIHUAHUA GENAAMD JACK! Jack is een klein hondje met een groots karakter dat een plaats zoekt waar hij echt begrepen voelt. Hij is namelijk bij ons terecht gekomen omdat de andere honden blijkbaar niet meer met hem overeen kwamen. Aan de lijn kan het een wervelwind zijn en behoorlijk reageren reageren op de grote wereld die soms toch wel spannend is. Maar samen met andere honden wandelen doet hij wel graag. Voor deze energie bom zoeken we een huisje met een omheinde tuin want Jack vindt het heerlijk om te rennen. Na een sportkwartiertje is de batterij al een beetje op en komt de knuffelbeer naar boven. We zoeken een baasje die de tijd neemt omm de scherpe randjes op straat in goede richting te begeleiden. Iemand met een fijne tuin. En liefde in overvloed.

About JACK

What life with JACK looks like

JACK is a large adult chihuahua dog waiting at Dierenwereldkruis VZW in Bornem.

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 Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting JACK, answered.

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