How do I contact the shelter about Jip?

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

Can I adopt Jip if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierentehuis Zeist 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 Jip 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 Jip 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 Dierentehuis Zeist early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jip 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.

Adopt Jip

Shih Tzu · Male · Adult · 6 years

Are you the aware owner who gives Jip the trust in the world back entirely? Jip is a charming mixed breed who ended up at our animal shelter due to a divorce. He carries a backpack with him, but someone who looks beyond his uncertainty will find a companion for life. Character & Cuddle Moments Jip is a 'slow approach' dog. Unexpected touches and being led around are exciting for him, but once the ice is broken and he trusts you, his true nature emerges: Jip then gladly makes contact and comes lovely to cuddle with you. In the forest he is completely in his element. He loves walks where he has plenty of time for his greatest hobby: sniffing. He discovers the world with his nose and visibly enjoys the calm around him. Tip: Jip is very good to pacify with his treats. This makes training and building a bond much easier and more fun! Health & Nutrition Jip has a sensitive stomach, but we have good news: he is currently doing very well on hypoallergenic treats. His intestines have finally calmed down. We recommend the new owner to continue this diet for now. Once Jip is completely settled and the move stress is behind him, it can be looked into further about food he reacts well to. Jip has a coat that requires regular care. Because he sometimes finds touch exciting, it is essential that you, as the new owner, look for an experienced groomer who is patient and knows how to handle an uncertain dog. A good connection at the grooming salon is half the work for Jip! What does Jip need? Patient guidance: Someone who can 'read' his body language and gives him space to make contact at his own pace. Time & presence: Being alone at home is currently very difficult for him. We are looking for a place where someone is almost always at home in the beginning to build this up very calmly. Quiet household: Given his uncertainty and need for predictability, we place Jip only in an environment without young children. Jip has had some bad luck in recent years, but with the right 'coach' by his side, he is a fantastic, affectionate dog. Do you have that quiet place and a heart full of patience?

Gezocht: Een hondenkenner met geduld en inzicht Ben jij die bewuste, ervaren eigenaar die Jip het vertrouwen in de wereld teruggeeft? Hij is als pup geadopteerd door een ouder stel, na 6 weken weer herplaatst bij zijn vorige eigenaren waar hij gelukkig ruim 5 jaar heeft kunnen wonen. Helaas zijn zij gaan scheiden en is Jip.bij ons in het asiel terechtgekomen. Hij draagt een rugzakje met zich mee. We zoeken voor hem een adoptant die zijn taal spreekt, zijn grenzen respecteert en hem de rust en structuur biedt die hij zo hard nodig heeft.Karakter & Samenwerking Jip is een hond die tijd en een duidelijke handleiding nodig heeft. Onverwachte aanrakingen en het aanlijnen vindt hij spannend; als zijn grenzen worden overschreden, kan hij uit onmacht fel reageren. Het feilloos kunnen lezen van hondentaal en subtiele stresssignalen is voor zijn nieuwe eigenaar dan ook een harde eis.Bij Jip moet het initiatief voor contact vanuit hemzelf komen. Wanneer hij merkt dat zijn signalen worden begrepen en hij zich veilig voelt, komt zijn aanhankelijke kant naar boven en geniet hij enorm van een flink kroelmoment.In het bos is hij in zijn element. Hij houdt van rustige wandelingen waarbij hij uitgebreid de tijd krijgt om te snuffelen. Jip is erg voergevoelig, wat een enorm pluspunt is: met zijn brokjes kun je op een positieve, kalme manier trainen en een hechte vertrouwensband met hem opbouwen.Gezondheid & VachtverzorgingVoeding: Jip heeft gevoelige darmen en staat momenteel op een strikt hypoallergeen dieet. Dit moet de eerste maanden sowieso worden aangehouden om fysieke onrust te voorkomen.Vacht: Zijn vacht heeft regelmatig onderhoud nodig. Omdat aanrakingen spannend zijn, zoeken we een eigenaar die hier thuis mee aan de slag gaat én een geduldige trimmer inschakelt die ervaring heeft met onzekere honden.Wat Jip écht nodig heeft:Ruime ervaring met hondentaal: Je herkent de allerkleinste signalen van spanning (zoals wegdraaien, lippen likken of verstijven) en weet wanneer je Jip de ruimte moet geven in plaats van hem te troosten of te pushen.Een stabiel, voorspelbaar huishouden: Jip wordt niet geplaatst in een druk gezin of een omgeving met kinderen. Hij heeft een rustige basis nodig.Tijd en rustige opbouw: Alleen thuis blijven vond hij bij zijn vorige eigenaren erg moeilijk. Hij zit nu in de pleegopvang bij een van onze vrijwilligers, waarbij we verwachten dat dit op een rustig tempo aangeleerd kan worden. Dit zal in heel kleine stapjes getraind moeten worden. Er moet in de eerste periode structureel iemand aanwezig kunnen zijn.Jip heeft de afgelopen tijd wat pech gehad, maar met de juiste, begripvolle partner aan zijn zijde is hij een fantastisch maatje. Heb jij de rust, het honden-inzicht en het geduld om Jip te begeleiden? Vul dan het vragenformulier in en leg daarin uitgebreid uit welke ervaring je hebt met onzekere honden.

About Jip

What life with Jip looks like

Jip is a small adult shih tzu dog waiting at Dierentehuis Zeist in AA Austerlitz.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.
