Jacky

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Jacky Seeks a Mercy Home * Our little hero, Jacky, needs your help! Our thoroughly lovable Jack Russell-Chihuahua mix has unfortunately been diagnosed with a heart valve defect and is undergoing treatment. We are seeking a foster home for him, a loving person who can care for him for the last weeks or hopefully months of his remaining life. We will continue to cover his expenses—just give him time, cuddles, and lots of love! Jacky is a simple, sweet male dog who just wants to be loved. He is 9 years old and deserves to be spoiled and cared for around the clock right now. He takes his medications completely without issue. Jacky does, however, struggle with breathing difficulties multiple times a day, for which there is unfortunately nothing more that can be done except to give him rest and safety. Hectic and excitement are, of course, not good for him, even in such situations. Despite this, Jacky still looks forward to small shared walks. If you believe you are capable of taking on this responsible care for Jacky and can give him the time, love, and attention he desperately needs right now, please contact us!

About Jacky

What life with Jacky looks like

Jacky is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Überlingen in Überlingen.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Jacky, answered.

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