Lily

Jack Russell Terrier · Female · Adult · 6 years

A timid and reserved Jack Russell terrier female who was seized and placed in a shelter. Unfortunately, little is known about her past. Whether she is house trained or can be left alone at home... these are all question marks. 🤷‍♀️😉 By nature, I am shy and waiting, especially with new people. Even here in the shelter, I needed some time to gain trust. But in the meantime? Everyone here is my best friend! ❤️ I love walking, especially with Lola (also a Jack Russell). Lovely fresh air, sniffing in the grass and quietly discovering the world. 🐾🌿 My future owners must take into account that house training and being left alone at home must be built up slowly. A fixed routine and a lot of patience are therefore important. 🏡 A garden with a secure fence is necessary. Another dog can certainly be tested. If it is a male, he must be castrated. Interested in getting to know me? Apply via the button above or send an email to honden.be with some more information about yourself, your family and the environment in which I would end up. Also mention your name, phone number and address.

een Jack Russell-teefje dat via inbeslagname in de opvang terechtkwam. Over mijn verleden weten ze helaas weinig. Of ik zindelijk ben, alleen thuis kan blijven… dat zijn allemaal vraagtekens. 🤷‍♀️😉 Ik ben van nature eerder timide en afwachtend, zeker bij nieuwe mensen. Ook hier in de opvang had ik even tijd nodig om vertrouwen te krijgen. Maar ondertussen? Iedereen is hier mijn beste vriend! ❤️ Wandelen vind ik heerlijk, zeker samen met Lola (ook Jack Russell). Lekker de frisse lucht in, snuffelen in het gras en rustig de wereld ontdekken. 🐾🌿 Mijn toekomstige baasjes moeten er rekening mee houden dat zindelijkheid en alleen thuisblijven rustig opgebouwd moeten worden. Een vaste routine en veel geduld zijn dus belangrijk. 🏡 Een tuin met een degelijke afsluiting is noodzakelijk. Een andere hond kan zeker getest worden. Is het een reu, dan moet hij wel gecastreerd zijn. Interesse om mij te leren kennen?

Vermeld ook je naam, telefoonnummer en adres.

About Lily

What life with Lily looks like

Lily is a adult jack russell terrier dog waiting at Dierenasiel Ninove in Ninove.

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 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 Lily, answered.

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