Aisha &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Aisha now lives in 77948 Friesenheim. All the best, Aisha. Heartfelt thanks, Mr. K. When I first saw a Podenco Maneto, I was convinced that the playful, little, bow-legged creature with large bat-like ears was a mix of a running dog and a dachshund – but no, our witty, ground-near Spanish dogs are an ancient hunting breed with a character that does justice to dachshund lovers, hunting dog friends, and whippet fans alike. And here comes Aisha, a 2-year-old (as of 08/2025) Podenco Maneta. Aisha had been on the streets of Andalusia for some time before she decided to seek help from people. She settled in front of a small country inn and hoped for a bit of water, food, and affection. One of the staff reacted very angrily to the female dog, ran out, and began hitting, kicking, and throwing stones at Aisha. A brave lady intervened and brought the injured female dog to the vet immediately. Aisha had some serious bruises, intense pain, and, understandably (just like her rescuer), was under shock. So, the grateful female dog stayed in the clinic for a few days until she recovered. Then she moved into the animal shelter of our partner from the Refugio Kimba, where she felt right at home, podencowise. Aisha has always had something to do in the animal shelter. She follows the volunteers and oversees cleaning work, she has many four-legged friends with whom she plays and also enjoys sunbathing together. When no one has time for her, she finds a ball or another toy and keeps herself occupied. After her spaying, Aisha stayed with a foster family for recovery, and there she showed that she can also behave very ladylike in the house. Quiet and balanced, not constantly in motion, but very happy when someone takes the leash to go for a walk. Aisha is a young, witty, and very contact-seeking heartbreaker. In Germany, Manetos are not well-known, and you will likely hear the question, "What kind of mix is this?" every few meters on the leash – so contacts with nice dog lovers are also guaranteed. If you are looking for a cheerful, highly intelligent, and wild-idea-equipped new friend who is ready to dive into many colorful adventures and replace the warm bottle in the winter, then you should contact us now – really, NOW!

Aisha lebt jetzt in 77948 Friesenheim. Alles Gute, Aisha. Herzlichen Dank, Herr K. Als ich das erst Mal einen Podenco Maneto sah, war ich überzeugt, dass es sich bei dem lustigen, kleinen, krummbeinigen Tier mit den großen Fledermausohren um eine Mischung aus Laufhund und Dackel handelte – aber nein, unsere witzigen bodennahen Spanier sind eine alte Jagdhundrasse mit einem Charakter, der Dackelliebhabern, Jagdhundfreunden und Windhundfans gleichermaßen gerecht wird. Und hier kommt Aisha, eine 2 Jahre alte (Stand 08/2025) Podenca Maneta. Aisha war wohl einige Zeit allein auf den Straßen Andalusiens unterwegs, bevor sie sich entschloss bei den Menschen Hilfe zu suchen. Bei einer kleinen Landgaststätte richtete sich vor der Tür ein und hoffte auf ein bisschen Wasser, Futter und Zuneigung. Einer der Angestellten reagierte sehr zornig auf die Hündin, rannte raus und fing an, Aisha zu schlagen, zu treten und mit Steinen zu bewerfen. Eine beherzte Dame griff ein und brachte die verletzte Hündin sofort zum Tierarzt. Aisha hatte einige heftige Prellungen, starke Schmerzen und stand verständlicherweise (genau wie ihre Retterin) unter Schock. Also durfte die dankbare Hündin einige Tage in der Klinik bleiben, bis sie sich erholt hatte. Dann zog sie um ins Tierheim unserer Partner vom Refugio Kimba, wo sie sich schon nach kürzester Zeit pudel-, ähm nein podencowohl fühlte. Aisha hat im Tierheim immer etwas zu tun. Sie folgt den Freiwilligen und beaufsichtigt Reinigungsarbeiten, sie hat viele vierbeinige Freunde, mit denen sie gern spielt und auch gemeinsame Sonnenbäder genießt. Wenn gerade niemand für sie Zeit hat, sucht sie sich einen Ball oder ein anderes Spielzeug und beschäftigt sich allein. Nach ihrer Kastration blieb Aisha zur Erholung bei einer Pflegefamilie, und dort zeigte sie, dass sie sich im Haus auch sehr ladylike benehmen kann. Ruhig und ausgeglichen, nicht dauernd in Bewegung, aber hocherfreut, wenn jemand die Leine in die Hand genommen hat, um mit ihr spazieren zu gehen. Aisha ist eine junge, witzige und sehr kontaktfreudige Herzensbrecherin. In Deutschland sind Manetos eher unbekannt, und Sie werden mit dieser lustigen Rasse an der Leine sicher alle paar Meter die Frage hören, was denn das für eine Mischung sei – Kontakte zu netten Hundeliebhabern sind also auch gleich noch garantiert. Wenn Sie eine fröhliche, hochintelligente und mit wilden Ideen ausgestattete neue Freundin suchen, die bereit ist, sich mit Ihnen in viele bunte Abenteuer zu stürzen und Ihnen im Winter die Wärmflasche zu ersetzen, dann sollten Sie jetzt gleich Kontakt mit uns aufnehmen – wirklich, JETZT!

About Aisha &#8211

What life with Aisha &#8211 looks like

Aisha &#8211 is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

An young 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 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 Aisha &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aisha &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Aisha &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Aisha &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. 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 Aisha &#8211 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 Aisha &#8211 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 Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aisha &#8211 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.
