How do I contact the shelter about Alfonso?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alfonso on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Alfonso if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Aktion Tierisch Happy 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 Alfonso 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 Alfonso 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 Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alfonso 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.

Adopt Alfonso

Podenco · Male · Puppy

Hello human, I am Alfonso 🐾, yes, the name sounds like a king, and honestly, I think it suits me quite well. I was born on October 14, 2021, and since April 2026, I'm ready to finally truly enjoy my life. I am a Podenco mixed breed, weighing about 30 kilos (I know, a little bit too much, but I'm working on it). My life hasn't always been sunny, as I was rescued from a Perrera. It's not a place you want to stay long. So now I wish for a home where I can really feel at ease. Personally, I am a very friendly and loving dog. I like other dogs, whether male dog or female dog, and get along with them well. As for cats, I'm not quite sure what to make of them yet. That's something we'd have to try out. When you call me, I might take a little moment. Not because I don't want to, but because I can be a bit dreamy sometimes. Car rides are no problem for me, and I walk pretty well on a leash. I’m learning not to pull and I'm trying hard. With my high energy level, I definitely bring some pep to your day, as I love movement and shared adventures. So if you're looking for a charming, joyful companion who still needs a bit of fine-tuning but brings a lot of heart, we might just be a perfect match. Upon arrival, I am vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and come with my EU pet passport.

Hallo Mensch, ich bin Alfonso 🐾, ja, der Name klingt nach König, und ehrlich gesagt finde ich, das passt auch ganz gut zu mir. Geboren wurde ich am 14. Oktober 2021, und seit April 2026 bin ich bereit, mein Leben endlich richtig zu genießen. Ich bin ein Podenco-Mischling, etwa 30 Kilo schwer (ich weiß, ein kleines bisschen zu viel, aber ich arbeite daran). Mein Leben hat nicht immer auf der Sonnenseite stattgefunden, denn ich wurde aus einer Perrera gerettet. Das war kein Ort, an dem man lange bleiben möchte. Umso mehr wünsche ich mir jetzt ein Zuhause, in dem ich ankommen darf. Charakterlich bin ich ein wirklich freundlicher und lieber Hund. Ich mag andere Hunde, egal ob Rüde oder Hündin, und komme gut mit ihnen klar. Bei Katzen weiß ich ehrlich gesagt noch nicht so genau, was ich davon halten soll. Das müsste man ausprobieren. Wenn du mich rufst, kann es sein, dass ich mir einen kleinen Moment Zeit lasse. Nicht, weil ich nicht will, sondern weil ich manchmal einfach ein bisschen verträumt bin. Autofahren ist für mich kein Problem, und an der Leine laufe ich schon ganz ordentlich. Ich lerne gerade, nicht zu ziehen, und gebe mir Mühe. Mit meinem hohen Energielevel bringe ich auf jeden Fall Schwung in deinen Alltag, denn ich liebe Bewegung und gemeinsame Abenteuer. Wenn du also einen charmanten, lebensfrohen Begleiter suchst, der noch ein bisschen Feinschliff braucht, aber dafür ganz viel Herz mitbringt, dann könnten wir richtig gut zusammenpassen. Bei Einreise bin ich geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt und habe meinen EU-Heimtierausweis dabei.

About Alfonso

What life with Alfonso looks like

Alfonso is a puppy/kitten podenco dog waiting at Aktion Tierisch Happy e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
