Flaca

Pointer · Female · Young · 3 years

This female dog likely shared the same fate as many other dogs on Sardinia that are "phased out" during the hunting season. The reasons why owners make this decision are often not understandable. Anyway, this female dog was picked up when she was aimlessly wandering around in the Campagna near Sassari. She was not microchipped, so no owner could be found. But anyone who doesn't chip their dog does so knowingly to avoid being found and held responsible for any potential damages. Since dogs are only useful during the hunting season and are merely food sources or breeding machines for the rest of the year, emotional bonds are not formed with them. So, Flaca, as she is now called, ended up at our partners in Stintino, where we met her during our visit in early January 2026. Flaca is a friendly, open, and typically lively female dog – taking a few photos wasn't really her thing. We wish for Flaca to soon begin her journey to Germany, where she can find a forever home with loving people. An active family that includes her in all family activities would be ideal for this agile Pointer mix-female dog. She would likely have a lot of fun accompanying her people on walks, cycling, or jogging. Would you like to make this beautiful dog life possible for Flaca? If you are currently looking for a new furry family member and are aware that adoption brings not only great joy but also a lot of work and significant responsibility, we look forward to your message. We provide nationwide support.

Diese Hündin ereilte vermutlich das gleiche Schicksal wie so viele andere Hunde, die während der Jagdsaison auf Sardinien "ausgemustert" werden. Die Gründe, warum die Besitzer so entscheiden, lassen sich meist nicht ergründen. Jedenfalls wurde diese Hündin aufgegriffen, als sie ziellos in der Campagna bei Sassari herumirrte. Sie war nicht gechippt, ein Besitzer ließ sich daher auch nicht ausfindig machen. Aber wer seinen Hund nicht chippt, macht dies ja bewusst, um in keinem Fall gefunden und für eventuelle Schäden haftbar gemacht werden zu können. Mentale Bindungen zu den Hunden, die ja nur während der Jagdsaison zu funktionieren haben und für den Rest des Jahres nur unnütze Fresser sind oder als Gebärmaschinen herhalten müssen, werden ja nicht aufgebaut.So landete Flaca, wie sie jetzt genannt wird, also bei unseren Partnern in Stintino, wo wir sie dann während unseres Besuchs Anfang Januar 2026 kennenlernten. Flaca ist eine freundliche, aufgeschlossene und rassetypisch lebhafte Hündin - mal ein bisschen stillzustehen für die Fotos war so gar nicht ihr Ding.Für Flaca wünschen wir uns, dass sie bald ihre Reise nach Deutschland antreten kann. Bei lieben Menschen soll sie dann ihr Zuhause für immer finden. Ideal wären für die agile Pointer-Mix-Hündin aktive Menschen, die sie an allen familiären Unternehmungen teilhaben lassen. Flaca hätte vermutlich viel Spaß, wenn sie ihre Menschen bei Wanderungen, beim Radfahren oder Joggen begleiten dürfte.Möchten Sie Flaca dieses schöne Hundeleben ermöglichen, sie fordern und fördern?Wenn Sie gerade auf der Suche nach einem neuen fellnasigen Familienmitglied sind und Ihnen bewusst ist, dass eine Adoption nicht nur sehr viel Freude bereitet, sondern auch Arbeit und große Verantwortung mit sich bringt, freuen wir uns über Ihre Nachricht.

About Flaca

What life with Flaca looks like

Flaca is a large young adult pointer dog waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Flaca, answered.

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