Bombon

Mixed Breed · Male

The little Bombón is an example of human cruelty. He was abandoned and found disoriented. The Spanish animal welfare workers assume he was used as a beautiful miniature for mass breeding and discarded when he was no longer useful. For Bombón, the poor little guy, knew no streets, no leash, and no walking. He would stiffen when someone tried to cuddle or be affectionate with him. Toys and games were completely foreign to him. He had an unbearable odor, as if he had been confined in a cage for a very long time. He was emaciated and had a wound on his eye, which was treated immediately. Despite his reduced vision, he still sees well. He was also vaccinated and neutered immediately. The standard Mediterranean test was negative. However, after a few months with the animal shelters, a completely new dog has emerged: Bombón means "praline" in Spanish, and his name is a program! He is now a charming and affectionate "cuddle buddy" who simply loves his person over everything. He walks wonderfully on a leash and enjoys his walks.

Der kleine Bombón ist ein Beispiel an menschlicher Grausamkeit. Er wurde ausgesetzt und desorientiert aufgefunden. Die spanischen Tierschützer gehen davon aus, dass er als wunderschöne Miniatur zur Massenzucht genutzt wurde, und als er nicht mehr dafür „taugte“, einfach entsorgt wurde. Denn: Der arme Bombón kannte keine Straßen, keine Leine und kein Spazierengehen. Auch versteifte er wenn man versuchte ihn zu kuscheln oder lieb zu haben. Spielzeuge und Spielen an sich waren ihm vollkommen fremd. Er hatte einen unausstehlichen Gestank, wie wenn er sehr lange in einem Käfig eingeschlossen gewesen wäre. Er war verwahrlost und hatte ein Geschwür am Auge, welches aber umgehend behandelt wurde. Trotz seiner reduzierten Sicht sieht er noch gut. Auch wurde er umgehend geimpft und kastriert. Der standardmäßig durchgeführte Mittelmeertest war negativ. Nach wenigen Monaten bei den Tierschützern zeigt sich aber nun ein vollkommen neuer Hund: Bombón heißt auf spanisch „Praline“, und sein Name ist Programm! Er ist jetzt ein sympathisches und verschmustes „Kuscheltier“, der „seinen“ Menschen einfach nur über alles liebt. Er läuft wunderbar an der Leine und genießt seine Spaziergänge. An der Stube

About Bombon

What life with Bombon looks like

Bombon is a very small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

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 Bombon, answered.

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