Union Jack

Mixed Breed · Unknown

A special dog is looking for special people. The little guy is ready for a new home. Union is super smart and likes to decide for himself how far a situation can be to his advantage. He is a dog who questions people very closely, but at the same time feels insecure in certain situations. He is currently not a dog who likes physical closeness. He lets it happen, but he is not ready to do it willingly yet. Union is looking for responsible people who are aware of what it means to have an anxious dog in the house. People who ask for nothing but are still there for him and love him as he is. People who are aware that windows and doors need to be closed until he feels safe. People who do not make experiments and go out with him doubly and triply secured. People who do not get discouraged when he falls into panic but simply say: Hey, it's completely okay, but we're not going to make a fuss here. Without pressure, with a lot of understanding for Union. Maybe with a confident second dog in the house. We are sure that when Union arrives in a home, things will change. At the animal shelter, we can only do the groundwork for such dogs, but we also reach our limits in terms of time (unfortunately, reality). If you are aware of what Union brings, if you take our tips and tricks seriously, and if you are not immediately disappointed at the first meeting because Union only barks at you, then get in touch! So that he can finally arrive!

Ein besonderer Hund sucht besondere Menschen. Der kleine Kerl ist bereit für ein neues Zuhause. Union ist superschlau und entscheidet gerne selbst, in wie weit eine Situation einen Vorteil für ihn bereithält. Er ist ein Hund, der Menschen sehr gut in Frage stellt, aber auch gleichzeitig in Situationen unsicher ist. Er ist aktuell noch kein Hund, der die körperliche Nähe mag. Er lässt es über sich ergehen, aber freiwillig möchte er es noch nicht. Union sucht verantwortungsvolle Menschen, die sich bewusst sind, was es heißt, einen Angsthund im Haus zu haben. Die nichts verlangen, aber trotzdem für ihn da sind und ihn so Lieben wie er ist. Die sich bewusst sind, dass Fenster und Türen geschlossen sein müssen, solange er noch nicht sicher angekommen ist. Menschen die keine Experimente machen und mit ihm doppelt und dreifach gesichert raus gehen. Die sich nicht abschrecken lassen, wenn er in Panik verfällt, sondern einfach sagen:, Hey, es ist vollkommen in Ordnung, aber wir machen jetzt hier kein Fass auf. Ohne Druck mit viel Verständnis für Union. Vielleicht mit einem souveränen Zweithund im Haus. Wir sind uns sicher, wenn Union in einem Zuhause angekommen ist, wird sich das Blatt wenden. Im Tierheim können wir nur die Vorarbeit für solche Hunde leisten aber auch da kommt man zeitlich an seine Grenzen (leider die Realität). Wenn ihr euch bewusst seid, was Union mitbringt, wenn ihr unsere Tipps und Tricks ernst nehmt und wenn ihr nicht gleich enttäuscht seid beim ersten Treffen, dass Union euch nur verbellt dann meldet euch! Damit er endlich ankommen darf!

About Union Jack

What life with Union Jack looks like

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

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 Union Jack, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Union Jack?
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 Union Jack on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Union Jack 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 Union 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 Union 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 Aurich (Animal Welfare Aurich e.V.) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Union 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.
