Jack

Mixed Breed · Male

Age: 07/2019. Sex: male. Height: medium. Weight: Jack, The GERMAN SHEPHERD. He was on the streets for weeks, didn't let himself be hit and took time to trust, but one day he fell into a trap and we found out he had a huge lump in the snout area. Taken to the veterinarian, he underwent treatment after treatment and nothing worked, so finally he was advised to undergo surgery to remove the salivary gland that was causing the inflammation and pain and discomfort when eating. The operation was quite delicate and lengthy but went well, he is now at the shelter recovering. At the shelter since: 08/2025. Compatible with dogs: yes. Compatible with cats: unknown. Compatible with children:

About Jack

What life with Jack looks like

Jack is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Abrigo de Carinho in Portugal.

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 Portugal

Portuguese rescues coordinate extensively with European rescue networks for cross-border placements, especially for galgos and podencos. Sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID are standard. Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jack, answered.

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