Vinc

Unknown · Senior · 9 years

Vincca. 2015. Breed: Cão Fila de São Miguel. Male. Location: mainland Portugal. Hello, I'm Vinc 🐶 I'm about 9 years old (Cão Fila de São Miguel mix) and I'm still sitting in Portugal… I have spent my whole life on a chain, faithfully serving my owner. Now my teeth are worn down from chewing on the chain, I no longer kept watch reliably, and I was sorted out and replaced. Now I hope every day that someone will finally ask about me. But the days pass – and I still don't have a person who gives me their heart 😢 I don't have forever 💔 I don't want to spend my last years lonely, but loved, seen and protected. I still like to walk nicely on a leash with you for a few cozy rounds, and I enjoy cuddles so, so much. Please, don't let me stay invisible. Every day I spend without a home is a lost day 😭💔 And I really am a treasure: 🐾 good with other dogs 🐾 friendly to people 🐾 grateful for every little bit of attention 👉 But if no one gets in touch, I will have to spend my last years here. And that must not happen 😥 If you would like to give Vinc a home, we would be delighted to hear from you! The best way is to fill out our interested-party form.

Jeder Tag, den ich ohne ein Zuhause verbringe, ist ein verlorener Tag 😭💔Dabei bin ich wirklich ein Schatz:🐾 verträglich mit Hunden🐾 freundlich zu Menschen🐾 dankbar für jede noch so kleine Aufmerksamkeit👉 Aber wenn sich niemand meldet, werde ich meine letzten Jahre hier verbringen müssen.

About Vinc

What life with Vinc looks like

Vinc is a senior dog waiting at Underdog Rescue e.V. in Germany.

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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Vinc, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Vinc?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Underdog Rescue e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Vinc on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Vinc if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Underdog Rescue e.V. whether they will for Vinc, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Vinc already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Vinc. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Underdog Rescue e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Vinc isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Underdog Rescue e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Vinc 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.
