Jasper

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 12 years

Jasper is a Barsoi-mixed-breed male dog who is supposedly 12 years old – yet his teeth and especially his behavior make one doubt this. For Jasper is still remarkably fit and active. He came from a household with other dogs, cats, and other animals and shows himself to be consistently friendly and social here as well. He meets other dogs peacefully, enjoys attention, and especially likes having his belly rubbed. Currently, Jasper still carries a bit too much weight, but his great love of movement will surely help him become fitter soon. Meanwhile, he likes to do his own thing and displays the typical independent character of a greyhound.

DE·Show original

Jasper ist ein Barsoi-Mischlingsrüde, der angeblich bereits 12 Jahre alt sein soll – doch seine Zähne und vor allem sein Verhalten lassen daran zweifeln. Denn Jasper ist noch erstaunlich fit und aktiv. Er stammt aus einem Haushalt mit anderen Hunden, Katzen und weiteren Tieren und zeigt sich auch bei uns durchweg freundlich und sozial. Mit anderen Hunden begegnet er friedlich, genießt Aufmerksamkeit und lässt sich besonders gern den Bauch kraulen. Aktuell bringt Jasper noch etwas zu viel Gewicht mit, doch seine große Bewegungsfreude wird ihm sicherlich dabei helfen, bald fitter zu werden. Dabei macht er gerne sein eigenes Ding und zeigt den typisch unabhängigen Charakter eines Windhundes.

About Jasper

What life with Jasper looks like

Jasper is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) in Aurich.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jasper, answered.

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