Her mother is an English Setter, so Jackie is an English Setter Mix. She was rescued alongside her mother and brothers by a Whispaws' trustee and taken to safety at a shelter in Ub. Over time, Jackie’s family began finding their forever homes. A year later, they had all been adopted. Jackie is now the last of her little family still waiting for a home. She is playful, affectionate, and full of life.

Meet Jackie, a bright, playful and incredibly affectionate girl with a big heart, waiting for her forever home! ⚧️ Sex: Female 🎂 Age: Just over 3 years old 🦴 Breed: English Setter Mix 📏 Size: Medium – Large (very lean & light) 🐱 Cat friendly: Not recommended 🐕 Dog friendly: Yes 👶 Child friendly: Only older children/teenagers in the home ⚡ Energy level: High 🏡 Ideal home: An active home with adopters who can give her plenty of exercise and love 🐾 Personality & Temperament 🐾 Jackie is an incredibly happy, loving and affectionate girl who absolutely adores people. She loves being stroked, cuddled and held, and will happily soak up all the attention. She has a wonderfully affectionate nature and really enjoys being around people. She is also a very lively and playful girl who loves to run, explore and play. Having spent so long in a shelter environment, Jackie can be very excitable and has lots of energy to burn. She would really benefit from an active adopter who can give her plenty of opportunities to exercise and explore outdoors. Jackie loves carrying stuffed toys in her mouth and has a fun, youthful personality. She is very social with other dogs and really enjoys their company. She also shows a strong interest in birds and wildlife and will attempt to chase them if given the opportunity. Jackie can get very excited when greeting people and does like to jump up for attention. This is clearly out of excitement and affection and she does settle once she has calmed down. She would benefit from continuing to learn from adopters who can gently and consistently help her with this. Because of her current jumping and high energy levels, we would not recommend Jackie for a home with small children. With time, exercise and the opportunity to settle into a home environment, she may be able to live happily alongside older children. Jackie has a medium-to-large frame but is very lean and light. She also has the sweetest little polka-dot markings on her be

About Jackie

What life with Jackie looks like

Jackie is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Whispaws Animal Sanctuary in Serbia (UK-managed).

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 Serbia

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jackie, answered.

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