Buddy

Mixed Breed · Male

PS FE, born: 01/10, male dog. Buddy, the loving senior, wandered confused along a busy street and seemingly didn't know what was happening to him. Fortunately, kind-hearted people took notice of him, found him, and brought him to the Perrera of La Oliva. Unfortunately, as is often the case, Buddy didn't have a microchip, and his owner couldn't be found immediately. The law states that found dogs must stay in the Perrera for three weeks to give the owner a chance to reclaim them. Only if no one claims the dog within 21 days can it be put up for adoption. And so, the human-loving Buddy had to wait out his time in a small cage. When it became clear that no one was missing him, our island shelter Finca Esquinzo took in the Barino-mix. During his first veterinary examination, a blood test revealed that Buddy suffers from anemia, and as a result, blood was sent to a lab. It turned out that Buddy has a strong bacterial infection transmitted by ticks, which was treated with antibiotics. His left eye is cloudy from cataracts, and otherwise, he has typical senior dog signs like bad teeth and tired bones. Buddy has settled in well at his shelter in Germany and gets along very well with the three other dogs. However, the kind-hearted old bear has won the hearts of his foster family and delights them with his charming quirks, so he can stay in foster care. The good-natured senior has earned this so much! And so, we don't want to subject Buddy to another move and are grateful to the foster family that he can spend his golden years there. Currently, Buddy is still quite fit, though he does have his age-related "aches and pains," but he doesn't need any long-term medications at the moment. Of course, this can change with age. Therefore, we wish to find loving people who are willing to take on a paternity for any future food and/or veterinary costs. Every amount helps! We thank you in advance for your help!

PS FE, geb: 01/10, Rüde. Bud­dy, der lie­be Seni­or, trot­te­te ver­wirrt eine stark befah­re­ne Stra­ße ent­lang und wuss­te schein­bar gar nicht, was mit ihm geschah. Zum Glück nah­men sich tier­lie­be Men­schen sei­ner an, fin­gen ihn ein und brach­ten ihn in die Per­rera von La Oli­va. Wie es lei­der häu­fig der Fall ist, hat­te Bud­dy kei­nen Mikro­chip und sein Besit­zer konn­te somit nicht sofort aus­fin­dig gemacht wer­den. Das Gesetz schreibt vor, dass Fund­hun­de 3 Wochen in der Per­rera ver­blei­ben müs­sen, um dem Besit­zer eine Chan­ce zu geben, den Hund abzu­ho­len, erst wenn sich inner­halb der 21 Tage kei­ner mel­det, darf der Hund ver­mit­telt wer­den. Und so muss­te der men­schen­be­zo­ge­ne Bud­dy erst ein­mal in einem klei­nen Zwin­ger aus­har­ren. Als klar war, dass ihn nie­mand ver­miss­te, nahm uns­re Insel­pfle­ge­stel­le Fin­ca Esquin­zo den Bar­di­no-Misch­ling in ihre Obhut. Bei der der ers­ten tier­ärzt­li­chen Unter­su­chung wur­de bei einer Blut­ab­nah­me fest­ge­stellt, dass Bud­dy an einer Anämie lei­det, aus die­sem Grund wur­de Blut an ein Labor geschickt, dabei kam her­aus, dass Bud­dy an einem durch Zecken über­tra­ge­nen, star­ken Bak­te­ri­en­be­fall lei­det, der mit Anti­bio­ti­ka behan­delt wur­de. Das lin­ke Auge ist vom grau­en Star trüb, ansons­ten hat er die übli­chen Alters­er­schei­nun­gen wie schlech­te Zäh­ne und müde Kno­chen. Bud­dy hat sich auf sei­ner Pfle­ge­stel­le in Deutsch­land gut ein­ge­lebt und ver­steht sich mit den 3 vor­han­de­nen Hun­de­kum­pels sehr gut. Der lie­be, alte Bär hat aller­dings die Her­zen sei­ner Pfle­ge­fa­mi­lie im Sturm erobert und erfreut die­se so sehr mit sei­nen lie­bens­wer­ten Eigen­hei­ten, dass er dort in Dau­er­pfle­ge blei­ben kann. Das hat der gut­mü­ti­ge Seni­or so sehr ver­dient! Und so möch­ten wir Bud­dy kei­nen Umzug mehr zumu­ten und freu­en uns und dan­ken der Pfle­ge­stel­le, dass er sei­nen Lebens­abend dort ver­brin­gen darf. Momen­tan ist Bud­dy noch recht fit, hat zwar hier und da sei­ne alters­be­ding­ten „Zip­per­lein“, braucht aber momen­tan noch kei­ne Dau­er­me­di­ka­men­te. Natür­lich kann sich dies mit zuneh­men­dem Alter schnell ändern. Von daher wün­schen wir uns für Bud­dy lie­be Men­schen, die bereit sind eine Paten­schaft für etwa­ige anfal­len­de Fut­ter- und/oder Tier­arzt­kos­ten zu über­neh­men. Jede Sum­me hilft! Wir dan­ken bereits im Vor­aus für Ihre Hil­fe!

About Buddy

What life with Buddy looks like

Buddy is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Fuerteventura in Dransfeld.

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 Buddy, answered.

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