Jacinta

Mixed Breed · Female

Unimaginable how great the fear can be; what has Jacinta experienced in her previous life? A bundle of fear, subservience, and fear again. Jacinta is very nervous and has lost trust in people, but the animal welfare workers are working with her! When putting the harness on, she gets nervous. Touching and petting still do not feel good for her. Jacinta is afraid of people, women as well as men. To get her to walk, she has to be carried, and then she walks the distance back. When let into the garden, she does not move. It is so sad, but the animal welfare workers believe that with more love and patience, the right people can give her a chance. Jacinta deserves the chance to experience a normal and beautiful dog life. We are looking for a foster home with experience in dealing with fearful dogs and a second, safe dog that Jacinta can orient herself to. Best placed with a resident dog (second-dog home).

DE·Show original

Unvorstellbar wie groß die Angst sein kann, was hat Jacinta in ihrem bisherigen Leben erlebt? Ein Häuflein Angst, Unterwürfigkeit und wieder Angst. Jacinta ist sehr nervös und hat das Vertrauen zu Menschen verloren aber die Tierschützer arbeiten mit ihr! Beim Anlegen des Geschirrs macht sie unter sich. Das Anfassen und Streicheln fühlt sich auch noch nicht gut an für sie. Jacinta hat Angst vor Menschen, Frauen wie Männer. Um sie zum Laufen zu bringen, muss sie getragen werden und dann geht sie die Strecke zurück. Wird sie in den Garten gelassen, bewegt sie sich nicht. Es ist so traurig aber die Tierschützer glauben, die richtigen Menschen mit noch mehr Liebe und Geduld können ihr die Chance geben. Jacinta hat es verdient, ein normales und schönes Hundeleben zu erfahren. Wir suchen eine Pflegestelle mit Angsthund-Erfahrung und sicherem Zweithund an den sich Jacinta orientieren kann.

About Jacinta

What life with Jacinta looks like

Jacinta is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

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 Jacinta, answered.

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