Jack

Collie · Male · Adult · 8 years

Hello, I'm Jack! Among my strengths is definitely my willingness to keep learning lots of new things. Sit, stay, and paw already work very well, but there is surely a lot more... On the lead I am strong and a bit boisterous. Unfortunately, I am still insecure in general, so I am looking for a calm, consistent owner who has patience with me. Please, no other animals or children in my home; that would be too much for me for now. In general, I am an absolute sports star and also a water rat. My resource guarding is pronounced, so please pay attention to that. I so wish that I will soon get a real home and can start together into a wonderful future!

Hallo, ich bin Jack! Zu meinen Stärken, zählt auf alle Fälle meine Bereitschaft noch ganz viel Neues zu lernen. Sitz, Platz und gib Pfote klappen schon sehr gut, aber da gibt es bestimmt noch viel mehr... An der Leine bin ich stark und etwas ungestüm. Leider bin ich generell noch unsicher...daher suche ich einen ruhigen, konsequenten Halter der Geduld mit mir hat. In meinem Zuhause sollen bitte keine anderen Tiere oder Kinder sein, das wäre mir noch zu viel. Generell bin ich eine absolute Sportskanone und zudem eine Wasserratte. Meine Ressourcenverteidigung ist ausgeprägt, darauf sollte man achten. Ich wünsche mir so sehr, dass ich bald ein richtiges Daheim bekomme und gemeinsam in eine tolle Zukunft starten kann!

About Jack

What life with Jack looks like

Jack is a medium-sized adult collie dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

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 Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included.

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. Tierheim Arche Noah 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 — Tierheim Arche Noah 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 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 Tierheim Arche Noah 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 (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
