Arco (FB)

Mixed Breed · Male

PS FE, born: 03/21, male dog. At PS since 01/26. Arco came together with the Pointer female dog Kira from a hunter, as his owner is severely ill. Both dogs had little contact with humans and lived separately in large, concrete enclosures. At first, Arco was very insecure and wouldn’t let anyone touch him. But in the last few weeks, Arco has made a remarkable development: The once very shy and reserved dog has become a cheerful, playful fellow. When he fully comes out of himself, he even jumps up at Andrea and Pancho in joy. His tail now often wags the whole body in competition, and he greets his caregivers with joyful barking when they enter the enclosure. Love clearly goes through Arco’s stomach – treats have helped him a lot in building trust. Towards strangers, Arco is still cautious. During visits, he initially retreats and observes from a safe distance. He’s not into much trouble either – a quiet environment gives him the security he needs. With his fellow dogs, Arco is friendly. Hound Lolina already invites him to play, and even though he still has to learn how exactly dog communication works, we are sure that he will master it over time. Also at mealtime, he still shows a bit of insecurity: He eats his food hastily, as if he needs to defend it. An anti-slinging bowl helps him find a bit more calm. In his sleeping box, he likes to snuggle into his dog bed. After his previous life on hard concrete, he especially enjoys the soft, high grass in the enclosure. With visible joy, he throws himself in, rolls, and wriggles – until everything is flattened. For Arco, we wish for a quiet, patient home with understanding people who will give him the time to build more trust and discover the world at his own pace. A confident first dog would certainly be a valuable guide for him. We are looking for a loving home for the handsome Pointer Arco, preferably for experienced and Pointer enthusiasts. A securely fenced garden or the possibility of sufficient free run should be available. If you want to show Arco the sunny sides of a dog’s life and are ready to accompany him on his journey, we look forward to your inquiry.

PS FE, geb: 03/21, Rüde. Auf der PS seit 01/26. Arco kam gemein­sam mit der Poin­ter­hün­din Kira von einem Jäger zu uns, da sein Besit­zer schwer erkrankt ist. Bei­de Hun­de hat­ten zuvor wenig Kon­takt zum Men­schen und leb­ten ein­zeln in gro­ßen, zemen­tier­ten Zwin­gern. Ent­spre­chend unsi­cher zeig­te sich Arco anfangs und ließ sich zunächst nicht anfas­sen. Doch Arco hat in den letz­ten Wochen eine beein­dru­cken­de Ent­wick­lung gemacht: Aus dem einst sehr ängst­li­chen und zurück­hal­ten­den Hun­de­mann ist ein fröh­li­cher, ver­schmus­ter Kerl gewor­den. Wenn er ganz aus sich her­aus­kommt, springt er vor Freu­de sogar an Andrea und Pancho hoch. Sein Schwanz wedelt inzwi­schen oft mit dem gan­zen Kör­per um die Wet­te, und er begrüßt sei­ne Pfle­ger mit freu­di­gem Bel­len, wenn sie das Gehe­ge betre­ten. Bei Arco geht Lie­be ein­deu­tig durch den Magen – Lecker­chen haben ihm sehr gehol­fen, Ver­trau­en zu fas­sen. Frem­den gegen­über ist Arco wei­ter­hin vor­sich­tig. Bei Besuch zieht er sich zunächst zurück und beob­ach­tet aus siche­rer Ent­fer­nung. Auch viel Tru­bel ist nichts für ihn – ein ruhi­ges Umfeld gibt ihm die Sicher­heit, die er braucht. Mit sei­nen Art­ge­nos­sen ist Arco freund­lich. Hün­din Loli­ta for­dert ihn bereits zum Spie­len auf, und auch wenn er noch ler­nen muss, wie genau die Kom­mu­ni­ka­ti­on unter Hun­den funk­tio­niert, sind wir sicher, dass er sich das mit der Zeit aneig­nen wird. Auch beim Fres­sen zeigt sich noch ein Stück Unsi­cher­heit: Er schlingt sein Fut­ter has­tig, als müs­se er es ver­tei­di­gen. Ein Anti­sch­ling­napf hilft ihm dabei, etwas mehr Ruhe zu fin­den. In sei­ner Schlaf­box kuschelt er sich ger­ne in sein Hun­de­bett. Nach sei­nem bis­he­ri­gen Leben scheint ihm ein geschütz­ter Rück­zugs­ort im Haus beson­ders wich­tig zu sein. Und dann gibt es noch sei­ne ganz eige­ne Lei­den­schaft: Arco liebt es, gro­ße Löcher zu bud­deln und sich aus­ge­las­sen in der Erde zu wäl­zen. Nach sei­nem frü­he­ren Leben auf har­tem Zement­bo­den genießt er das wei­che, hohe Gras im Gehe­ge ganz beson­ders. Mit sicht­ba­rer Freu­de wirft er sich hin­ein, dreht und win­det sich – bis alles platt­ge­le­gen ist. Für Arco wün­schen wir uns ein ruhi­ges, gedul­di­ges Zuhau­se bei ver­ständ­nis­vol­len Men­schen, die ihm die Zeit geben, wei­ter Ver­trau­en zu fas­sen und die Welt in sei­nem Tem­po zu ent­de­cken. Ein sou­ve­rä­ner Erst­hund wäre für ihn sicher­lich eine wert­vol­le Ori­en­tie­rung. Wir suchen für den schö­nen Poin­ter­rü­den Arco ein lie­be­vol­les Zuhau­se, gern bei Ken­nern und Lieb­ha­bern der Ras­se Poin­ter. Ein sicher ein­ge­zäun­ter Gar­ten oder die Mög­lich­keit zu aus­rei­chend Frei­lauf soll­te mög­lichst vor­han­den sein. Wenn Sie Arco die Son­nen­sei­ten eines Hun­de­le­bens zei­gen möch­ten und bereit sind, ihn auf sei­nem Weg zu beglei­ten, freu­en wir uns über Ihre Anfra­ge.

About Arco (FB)

What life with Arco (FB) looks like

Arco (FB) is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Fuerteventura in Dransfeld.

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 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 Arco (FB), answered.

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