Adopt Bichito

Podenco · Male · Young · 2 years

animal shelter Malaga Animales y Plantas: Update January 20, 2026: Bichito was found alone, with a shock collar around his neck, he learned what abuse was at a young age. When he first arrived, he was scared, but little by little we got to know him and he showed us his big heart. Now he is a loving dog who constantly asks for cuddles. He is a bit shy at first, but once he gets to know you better, he loves being by your side. He is a very gentle and noble dog, obedient and friendly. He lives peacefully with both males and females and has never had problems with others, making him perfect for any family with children or other animals. If you want to meet the purest soul, don't hesitate! Take Bichito in, and you will have a loyal friend for life. + a new video and 14 new photos added. Update July 21, 2025: A video of Bichito has been added. Hopefully, his future owner will then see how great he is and not let a golden bed wait for him any longer. Input August 20, 2024: This funny puppy is Bichito, he was found alone, walking on the street with an electrical cable around his neck and his little body full of wounds. Fortunately, someone was able to save him. His owner was a hunter who didn't pay much attention to Bichito, so he ran away from him. Now the hunter is looking for Bichito again to take him back to the hell he escaped from, so we are urgently looking for a family for him. Bichito is an active and playful dog. He is always jumping, running and playing with his friends. He is very social with every dog he meets, and he has no problem sharing his food or toys with the other dogs. With people he is great, he loves being with us and gives us lots of kisses, he is so well-behaved. Bochito tested positive for Leishmania, he is being treated for it here now. We are looking for a very active and loving family for Bichito. A family that takes him out of the animal shelter before the hunter finds him and gives him his own well-earned warm bed.

Asiel Malaga Animales y Plantas: Update 20 januari 2026:Bichito werd alleen gevonden, met een schokhalsband om zijn nek, hij leerde al op jonge leeftijd wat mishandeling was. Toen hij voor het eerst aankwam, was hij bang, maar beetje bij beetje hebben wij hem leren kennen en liet hij ons zijn grote hart zien. Nu is hij een liefdevolle hond die constant om knuffels vraagt. Hij is in het begin een beetje verlegen, maar zodra hij je beter leert kennen, vindt hij het heerlijk om aan je zijde te zijn. Hij is een heel zachtaardige en nobele hond, gehoorzaam en vriendelijk. Hij leeft vreedzaam samen met zowel reuen als teefjes en heeft nooit problemen gehad met anderen, waardoor hij perfect is voor elk gezin met kinderen of andere dieren. Als je de zuiverste ziel wilt ontmoeten, aarzel dan niet! Neem Bichito in huis, en je hebt een trouwe vriend voor het leven. + een nieuwe video en 14 nieuwe foto's toegevoegd. Update 21 juli 2025: Er is een video van Bichito toegevoegd. Hopelijk ziet zijn toekomstige baasje dan hoe geweldig hij is en laat een gouden mand niet lang meer op zich wachten. Input 20 augustus 2024: Dit grappige hondje is Bichito, hij werd alleen gevonden, lopend op straat met een elektriciteitsdraad om zijn nek en zijn kleine lijfje vol met wonden. Gelukkig heeft iemand hem kunnen redden. Zijn baasje was een jager die niet veel aandacht aan Bichito besteedde, dus hij rende van hem weg. Nu is de jager weer op zoek naar Bichito om hem terug te halen naar de hel waaraan hij ontsnapt is, dus zijn we dringend op zoek naar een familie voor hem. Bichito is een actieve en speelse hond. Hij is altijd aan het springen, rennen en spelen met zijn vriendjes. Hij is heel sociaal met elke hond die hij ontmoet, en hij heeft er geen probleem mee om zijn eten of speelgoed te delen met de andere honden. Met mensen is hij geweldig, hij vindt het heerlijk om bij ons te zijn en ons veel kusjes te geven, hij is zo braaf. Bochito is positief getest op Leishmania, hij wordt hier inmiddels voor behandeld. We zoeken voor Bichito een heel actief en liefdevol gezin. Een familie die hem, voordat de jager hem vindt, uit het asiel haalt en hem zijn eigen verdiende warme mandje geeft.

About Bichito

What life with Bichito looks like

Bichito is a small young adult podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Bichito, answered.

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