Jaqui

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

I am a very friendly old lady who loves giving kisses to people and receiving a lot of attention. Birth date: 2007 size: medium My life story: I was left at the dog shelter in Lagos by my own owner and they took me to the shelter, where I have lived since September since September 2017. My temperament: I am an easygoing dog that gets along with all dogs and all people. I love receiving attention and when someone arrives I am the first to ask for pets and to snuggle up. I am not young anymore and I would like to find a comfortable home to spend the rest of my life. I think I deserve it because I am friendly and always behave well.

Data de nascimento: 2007 Porte: médio A minha história de vida: eu fui deixada no Canil de Lagos pelo meu próprio dono e daí levaram-me para o abrigo, onde vivo desde setembro desde setembro de 2017. O meu temperamento: eu sou uma cadela de fácil trato que se dá bem com todos os cães e todas as pessoas. Adoro receber atenção e quando chega alguém eu sou a primeira a pedir festas e a ficar encostadinha. Já não sou nova e gostava de encontrar uma casa confortável para passar o resto dos meus anos de vida. Acho que mereço pois sou simpática e porto-me sempre bem.

About Jaqui

What life with Jaqui looks like

Jaqui is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Cadela Carlota & Companhia in Portugal.

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 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 Jaqui, answered.

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