PINČIUS

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

A tiny dog, a pinčiaus, jumped over his yard fence, ran into the street and put his front paw under a car wheel. As a result, the paw had to be amputated because it was completely crushed. The pinčiaus was lucky 8 years ago when people found him in the woods and brought him home. Since he was terrified of human hands, he was left to live freely in the yard... He would go out when he wanted, and come back when he wanted. He had a way to get food. But he had no human warmth... probably never... Now Pinčiukas is here with us, in the shelter. And now we will make every effort so that at 12 years old, the senior, he can still enjoy the hands that touch him. So far it causes him a panic fear, but we will try...

Pinčius, toks mažulytis, išlipo per savo kiemo tvorą, šastelėjo į gatvę ir pakišo savo priekinę kojytę po automobilio ratu. To pasekoje, kojytę teko amputuoti, nes ji visiškai sutraiškyta. Pinčiui prieš 8 metus pasisekė, nes jį žmonės rado pamiškėje ir parsivežė namo. Kadangi jis paniškai bijojo žmogaus rankų, jį taip ir paliko gyventi laisvai kieme… Kada norėdavo, išeidavo, kada norėdavo, pareidavo. Turėjo būdą, turėjo maisto. Bet neturėjo žmogiškos šilumos… tikriausiai, niekada… Dabar Pinčiukas jau po operacijos pas mus, prieglaudoje. Ir dabar mes dėsime visas pastangas, kad būdamas 12-os metų senjoriukas, nors kažkiek dar spėtų pasimėgauti jį liečiančiomis rankomis. Kol kas tai jam sukelia panišką baimę, bet mes pasistengsime…

About PINČIUS

What life with PINČIUS looks like

PINČIUS is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Šiaulių Letenėlė in Lithuania.

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 Lithuania

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 PINČIUS, answered.

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