Arturo

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Arturo was found in the municipal euthanasia station in Moinesti. Trembling, he stood in his enclosure. A sad dog, unaware of what was happening to him, full of fear. Fortunately, the Ringo Land animal shelter had available capacity and we were able to quickly remove him from the euthanasia station. He is now housed as a boarding dog at Ringo Land animal shelter and, as with all our other rescued dogs at Ringo Land, we are covering all costs. Arturo was taken to the veterinarian immediately after being removed from the euthanasia station, who removed his ear tag and examined him.

Nun ist er im Tierheim Ringo Land als Pensionshund untergebracht und wir tragen nat�rlich, wie bei all unseren anderen geretteten Hunden in Ringo Land, alle Kosten.

About Arturo

What life with Arturo looks like

Arturo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Santorini e.V. in Mainz.

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 Arturo, answered.

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