Arturo (SWe)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

PS FE, born: 02.07.2024, male dog. On the Finca since December 2024. One morning, the Perrera in the south of the island received a call that five puppies had been found abandoned on the street. Once again, an irresponsible person had simply abandoned helpless puppies somewhere. So, Arturo and his siblings Aladin, Axel, Angel, and Ani came to the Perrera. When our island shelter Finca Esquinzo learned of this, space was made available, and the little ones were taken into their care without delay. The mice were covered in ticks and fleas and still bear marks in the form of bald spots and bruises on their fur. Despite the huge shock they must have endured when suddenly separated from their mother, they have fortunately coped well. All five are lively, playful, and cuddly dogs who approach everything with open and abundant energy. Arturo is the first to eat, the first to play, and the first to cuddle. The little button would always like to be in the middle. However, he shows this among his siblings in a very playful manner. "Look! There's a toy!" It snatches it up and runs off with it, so the others chase after him. He is a joker with a good mood. With his foster parents, he is very cuddly and snuggly, and he finds hands that stroke him simply wonderful. With strangers, he is initially cautious, but with a little patience, he quickly builds trust. Given the appearance and flow of the male dog's fur, one could assume that he is a Bardinio mix. Bardinios belong to the herding dogs of the Canaries and are used there as herding, watch, and companion dogs. The corresponding protective instinct should be taken into consideration and not underestimated during adoption. Once one has the trust and love of a Bardinio, one gets a loyal and faithful friend for life. That's why we would like to find Arturo a home with Bardinio enthusiasts who can consistently guide him. Additionally, his new home should ideally be in a rural area and preferably have an enclosed yard. Arturo can now leave for his new home immediately, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and tested for Mediterranean diseases. Who wouldn't want to direct all their attention to the cute Arturo?

PS FE, geb: 02.07.2024, Rüde. Auf der Fin­ca seit 12/2024. Eines Mor­gens bekam die Per­rera im Süden der Insel einen Anruf, dass 5 Wel­pen aus­ge­setzt auf der Stra­ße gefun­den wur­den. Wie­der ein­mal hat­te ein ver­ant­wor­tungs­lo­ser Mensch hilf­lo­se Wel­pen ein­fach irgend­wo ‚weg­ge­wor­fen‘. So kamen Arturo und sei­ne Geschwis­ter Ala­din, Axel, Angel und Ani in die Per­rera. Als unse­re Insel­pfle­ge­stel­le Fin­ca Esquin­zo davon erfuhr, wur­de Platz geschaf­fen und die Klei­nen ohne Zögern in ihre Obhut genom­men. Die Mäu­se waren von Zecken und Flö­hen über­sät und tra­gen auch jetzt noch Spu­ren in Form von kah­len Stel­len und Bles­su­ren im Fell. Den rie­si­gen Schock, den sie erlit­ten haben muss­ten als sie plötz­lich ihrer Mut­ter ent­ris­sen wur­den, haben sie zum Glück gut über­stan­den, alle 5 sind quir­li­ge, ver­spiel­te und schmu­si­ge Hun­de, die offen und mit viel Lebens­freu­de auf alles zuge­hen. Arturo ist der Ers­te beim Fres­sen, der Ers­te beim Spie­len, der Ers­te beim Schmu­sen. Am liebs­ten wür­de der klei­ne Knopf immer im Mit­tel­punkt ste­hen. Das zeigt er unter sei­nen Geschwis­tern aber sehr spie­le­risch. „Oh! Schaut mal! Da ist ein Spiel­zeug!“, schnell wird es geschnappt und in Win­des­ei­le davon getra­gen, damit die Ande­ren hin­ter ihm her ren­nen, er ist ein Spaß­vo­gel mit immer guter Lau­ne. Mit sei­nen Pfle­gern ist er sehr schmu­sig und kusche­lig, Hän­de, die ihn strei­cheln fin­det er ein­fach wun­der­bar. Bei frem­den Men­schen ist er zunächst vor­sich­tig, mit etwas Geduld fasst er aber schnell Ver­trau­en. Auf­grund des äuße­ren Erschei­nungs­bil­des des Rüden und sei­ner Stro­mung im Fell könn­te man davon aus­ge­hen, dass es sich bei ihm um einen Bar­di­no-Misch­ling han­delt. Bar­di­nos gehö­ren zu den Hüte­hun­den der Kana­ren und wer­den dort als Hüte‑, Wach- und Begleit­hun­de ein­ge­setzt. Der ent­spre­chen­de Schutz­trieb soll­te bei der Adop­ti­on berück­sich­tigt und nicht unter­schätzt wer­den. Hat man ein­mal das Ver­trau­en und die Lie­be eines Bar­di­nos gewon­nen, bekommt man einen treu­en und loya­len Freund fürs Leben. Des­halb suchen wir für Arturo ger­ne Ken­ner der Ras­se Bar­di­no, die ihn kon­se­quent lei­ten. Zudem soll­te sein neu­es Zuhau­se idea­ler­wei­se eher länd­lich gele­gen sein und ger­ne über ein ein­ge­zäun­tes Grundstück/Garten ver­fü­gen. Arturo kann ab sofort gechipt, kom­plett durch­ge­impft und auf Mit­tel­meer­krank­hei­ten getes­tet in sein neu­es Zuhau­se aus­rei­sen. Wer mag all sei­ne Auf­merk­sam­keit auf den hüb­schen Arturo len­ken?

About Arturo (SWe)

What life with Arturo (SWe) looks like

Arturo (SWe) is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Fuerteventura in Dransfeld.

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 Arturo (SWe), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Arturo (SWe)?
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 Arturo (SWe) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Arturo (SWe) 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 Arturo (SWe) 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 (SWe) 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 Arturo (SWe) 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.
