Adopt Jack

Border Collie · Female

Jack came to us because his previous owner acquired him despite a pet prohibition. The still young male dog is full of energy, friendly towards people, and full of typical working spirit. When on a leash, he loudly expresses his opinion to other male dogs and needs a steadfast person by his side who can teach him that this behavior is not necessary. Jack wishes for active people who will take him on many adventures and perhaps also enjoy outdoor activities. Compatibility with a pre-existing female dog can be tested. Jack is a true escape artist and is most likely unable to be left alone. This must be taken into consideration regarding the living situation.

Jack kam zu uns, da seine vorherige Halterin ihn trotz Tierhalteverbot angeschafft hat. Der noch junge Rüde steht voll im Saft, ist Menschen gegenüber freundlich und rassetypisch voller Tatendrang. Anderen Rüden sagt er an der Leine lauthals die Meinung und braucht da einen standfesten Menschen an seiner Seite, der ihm sachkundig beibringen kann, dass dieses Verhalten nicht notwendig ist. Jack wünscht sich aktive Menschen, die mit ihm viel unternehmen und vielleicht auch Freude an Outdoor-Aktivitäten haben. Die Verträglichkeit mit einer vorhandenen Hündin kann ausprobiert werden. Jack ist ein wahrer Ausbruchskünstler und kann höchstwahrscheinlich schlecht allein bleiben. Dies ist bezüglich der Wohnsituation unbedingt zu beachten.

About Jack

What life with Jack looks like

Jack is a adult border collie dog waiting at Tierheim Schlage in Germany.

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 Jack, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jack?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schlage 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 Schlage 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 Tierheim Schlage 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
