Bingo

Podenco · Male · Puppy · 1 month

Triple A Benelux: Input July 30, 2026: Little Bingo has been with us for just a few days. He was found as a puppy and adopted, but unfortunately this active Podenco turned out not to be a good match for the family, and so he ended up with us. Bingo is a true Podenco: curious and with a strong hunting instinct. He spots butterflies and grasshoppers like no other and then loves nothing more than chasing them. Anything that moves catches his attention. He’s a little smartie and a very fast learner. Commands such as “sit” or “here” are a piece of cake for him. He absolutely loves training—obedience, agility, tricks, and more. He wants to learn it all. On the one hand, sufficient physical challenge is important for him; on the other hand, he needs to learn how to maintain his focus, keep a certain level of calm, and listen well. With hunting-driven dogs, it’s not advisable to spend too much time on retrieving exercises, but rather to focus on scent work and nose work, as well as teaching tricks. That way, Bingo will find it easier to concentrate and will also be able to listen better. He’s wonderfully fun to be around with people. Although he can still be a bit shy in new situations, he adapts super quickly. It’s really fun to teach Bingo new things, and having a snack in between makes it even easier. He absolutely loves treats! Experience with Podencos is a must for this wonderful fellow. Moreover, Bingo would love to be surrounded by an older brother or sister (Podenco or similar breed). Ideally, his new home would also offer him a safe outdoor space. At the time of writing, his shoulder height is (still) 36 cm. We anticipate that he’ll eventually grow into a medium-sized Podenco. Soon you’ll be calling out: “BINGO”!!!……? Then you’ll have won a truly special and beautiful gift with this little guy!!

Besproken via het asiel, 13 augustus 2026 Triple A Benelux: Input 30 juli 2026: Kleine Bingo is pas sinds een paar dagen bij ons. Hij is als puppy gevonden en geadopteerd, maar helaas bleek deze actieve Podenco geen goede match voor het gezin en is hij uiteindelijk bij ons belandt.Bingo is een echte Podenco: nieuwsgierig en met een sterk jachtinstinct. Hij detecteert vlinders en sprinkhanen als geen ander en jaagt ze vervolgens maar al te graag op. Alles wat beweegt heeft zijn aandacht. Het is een kleine slimmerik en een heel snelle leerling. Commando’s zoals “zit” of “hier” zijn gesneden koek voor hem. Hij is dol op training: gehoorzaamheid, behendigheid, trucjes etc. Hij wil het allemaal leren. Enerzijds is voldoende fysieke uitdaging belangrijk voor hem en anderzijds moet hij leren om zijn focus te houden, een mate van rust te bewaren en goed te leren luisteren.Bij jacht gedreven honden is het niet aan te raden teveel bezig te zijn met apporteren, maar juist met speur- en neuswerk aan de slag te gaan als ook het aanleren van kunstjes. Bingo zal zich dan makkelijker kunnen focussen en ook beter kunnen luisteren. Hij is geweldig leuk met mensen. Ondanks dat hij in nieuwe situaties nog wat verlegen kan zijn, past hij zich super snel aan. Het is echt leuk om Bingo dingen te leren en met een snackje tussendoor wordt dit extra makkelijk gemaakt. Hij is dol op traktaties!Ervaring met Podenco’s is een must voor deze kanjer. Bingo zou het bovendien geweldig vinden als hij omringd zou kunnen worden door een ouder broertje of zusje (Podenco of soortgelijk ras). Zijn nieuwe thuis biedt hem liefst ook een veilige buitenruimte. Op dit moment van schrijven, is zijn schouderhoogte (nog) 36 cm. We gaan uit van uiteindelijk ongeveer een medium size Podenco. Roept u binnenkort: “BINGO”!!!……? Dan heeft u een heel bijzonder en fraai cadeau gewonnen met dit mannetje!!

About Bingo

What life with Bingo looks like

Bingo is a small puppy/kitten podenco dog waiting at description in AL Ridderkerk.

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 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 Bingo, answered.

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