Bingo

Mixed Breed · Male

Bingo is a four-year-old (as of April 2025) herding dog mix (Border Collie and water dog) who desperately needs a loving home. His previous life was far from happy, as he was kept by a family that paid him no attention at all. He had to live on the roof of an apartment building, with no human contact. Despite this neglect, Bingo has not lost his zest for life and his curiosity. Since Bingo came into the care of our friends at Arca Sevilla, many things have improved for him. The intelligent and eager-to-learn male dog wants to make up for everything he missed out on. At the animal shelter, Bingo shows a great desire to interact with other dogs of all sizes and genders, but it's clear that he sometimes feels a bit overwhelmed trying to interpret the body language of his roommates – but that's getting better every day. Bingo is very playful and enjoys long cuddles. He wants to please and is delighted by affection and praise from his human friends, although he is still very inexperienced and temperamental, making him a fascinating but also challenging companion. Bingo needs a home with experienced and active people who can give him the time and attention he requires. He needs consistent, but loving training and plenty of mental stimulation to channel his energy in the right direction. When it comes to children, Bingo is a playful playmate, but can sometimes be a bit too energetic – the two-legged offspring in his new home should be both sturdy and humorous. If you feel up to this challenge and want to give Bingo a life full of love and adventure, we look forward to hearing from you!

Bingo ist ein vierjähriger (Stand 04/2025) Hütehund-Mix (Border Collie und Wasserhund), der dringend ein liebevolles Zuhause sucht. Sein bisheriges Leben war alles andere als glücklich, denn er wurde von einer Familie gehalten, die sich überhaupt nicht um ihn kümmerte. Er musste auf dem Dach eines Wohnhauses leben, ohne jeglichen menschlichen Kontakt. Trotz dieser Vernachlässigung hat Bingo seinen Lebenswillen und seine Neugierde nicht verloren. Seit Bingo in der Obhut unserer Freunde in der Arca Sevilla lebt, hat sich schon vieles für ihn zum Besseren gewendet. Der intelligente und lernfreudige Rüde möchte alles nachholen, was ihm bisher verwehrt blieb. Im Tierheim zeigt sich Bingo sehr kontaktfreudig gegenüber anderen Hunden jeder Größe und jeden Geschlechts, man merkt aber, dass er manchmal etwas überfordert ist, die Körpersprache seiner Mitbewohner richtig zu deuten – aber das wird jeden Tag besser. Bingo ist sehr spielfreudig und genießt auch lange Streicheleinheiten. Er möchte gefallen und freut sich über Zuwendung und Lob seitens seiner menschlichen Freunde, allerdings ist er noch sehr unerfahren und temperamentvoll, was ihn zu einem spannenden, aber auch herausfordernden Begleiter macht. Bingo benötigt ein Zuhause bei erfahrenen und aktiven Menschen, die ihm die nötige Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit schenken können. Er braucht eine konsequente, aber liebevolle Erziehung und viel Beschäftigung, um seine Energie in die richtigen Bahnen zu lenken. Im Umgang mit Kindern ist Bingo ein lustiger Spielgefährte, aber manchmal etwas zu schwungvoll – der zweibeinige Nachwuchs in seinem neuen Zuhause sollte also so standfest wie humorvoll sein. Wenn Sie sich dieser Aufgabe gewachsen fühlen und Bingo ein neues Leben voller Liebe und Abenteuer schenken möchten, freuen wir uns über eine Nachricht!

About Bingo

What life with Bingo looks like

Bingo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

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 Bingo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bingo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. 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 — Tierschutzverein ARCA 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 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 Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. 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 (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.
