Caramelo

Podenco · Male · Puppy

Caramelo ID-Nr: 1053918 Breed: Podenco-mixed breed Age: ca. 10/2025 Gender: male Height: ca. 51 cm Neutered/Sterilized: Yes Location: Marbella (Spain) Inquiry Form Caramelo – sweet Podenco with a ringlet tail searches for his people Caramelo (ca. 10/2025, ca. 51 cm) is a beautiful, Podenco-mixed breed who came from a home but was given up by his owners because they allegedly had trouble finding a new apartment that allowed a dog. When he arrived at our Spanish partner shelter TripleA in Marbella on mid-May 2026, he was well-fed and had a very nice coat – a fact that is already quite pleasing, as most Podencos often come to the animal shelter in a very poor condition. The poor little guy showed signs of stress and tension upon his arrival, which we assume means that he was probably kept as a single dog before and had to get used to the loud animal shelter environment. Podencos, by their nature, are usually very social dogs and often feel most comfortable in groups. Therefore, Caramelo was very happy to meet other Podencos and now lives with another young male Podenco and a female dog. They run and play together in the run very often and play so beautifully with each other that it is a joy to watch. Caramelo is a truly magical, wonderful little guy – he only needs a little moment to get used to new surroundings and people. Then he is very playful and clingy. On the leash, he already runs very well. A small special feature of Caramelo is definitely his cute ringlet tail. Podencos usually do not have a ringlet tail, so he definitely stands out among his fellow animals! For Caramelo, we wish for a home where he already has one or more doggy friends to play and run with. Of course, he could also be kept as a single dog, provided he gets regular contact with other dogs to satisfy his need for social and emotional company. We are convinced that the sweet Caramelo will be a joyful companion for his new family, ready to share all the love that is in him with his new people. If you believe that this cute male dog with his striking ringlet tail would be a good match for you, then please contact us. Caramelo is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has an EU pet passport. For travel arrangements, he has been tested for Mediterranean diseases, dewormed, and treated for fleas. Vaccinations: Yes Mediterranean check: Yes Microchip: Yes Illnesses: None known including transport Contact person: Kris Melka Email:

Caramelo ID-Nr: 1053918 Rasse: Podenco-Mischling Alter: ca. 10/2025 Geschlecht: männlich Schulterhöhe: ca. 51 cm Kastriert/Sterilisiert: Ja Aufenthalt / Ort: Marbella (Spanien) Anfrageformular Caramelo – süßer Podenco mit Ringelschwänzchen sucht seine Menschen Caramelo (*ca. 10/2025, ca. 51 cm) ist ein wunderschöner, Podenco-Mischling, der aus einem Zuhause stammt, aber von seinen Besitzern abgegeben wurde, weil sie angeblich Schwierigkeiten hatten, eine neue Wohnung zu finden, wo ein Hund erlaubt ist. Als er Mitte Mai 2026 in unser spanisches Partnertierheim TripleA in Marbella kam, war er gut genährt und hatte ein sehr schönes Fell – eine Tatsache, die schon sehr erfreulich ist, da die meisten Podencos oftmals in einem sehr schlechten Zustand ins Tierheim kommen.. Der arme Bub zeigte sich bei seiner Ankunft zunächst sehr gestresst und angespannt, weshalb wir vermuten, dass er bisher wahrscheinlich als Einzelhund gehalten wurde und er sich daher erst an das laute Tierheim gewöhnen musste. Podencos sind von ihrer Rasse her normalerweise sehr gesellige Hunde und fühlen sich oft in Gruppen am wohlsten. Daher freute sich auch Caramelo sehr, andere Podencos kennenzulernen, und er lebt nun mit einem weiteren jungen Podenco-Rüden und einer Hündin zusammen. Sie toben und rennen sehr gern gemeinsam im Auslauf und spielen so schön miteinander, dass es eine Freude ist, ihnen dabei zuzusehen. Caramelo ist ein wirklich ganz zauberhafter, toller kleiner Kerl – er braucht nur einen kleinen Moment, um sich an neue Umgebungen und Menschen zu gewöhnen. Dann ist er aber sehr verspielt und anhänglich. An der Leine läuft er bereits sehr gut. Eine kleine Besonderheit an Caramelo ist mit Sicherheit sein niedlicher Ringelschwanz. Normalerweise haben Podencos keinen Ringelschwanz und somit fällt er unter seinen Artgenossen definitiv besonders auf! Für Caramelo wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem er idealerweise bereits einen oder mehrere Hundefreunde zum Spielen und Toben hat. Natürlich könnte er auch als Einzelhund gehalten werden, vorausgesetzt, er bekommt regelmäßigen Kontakt zu anderen Hunden, um sein Bedürfnis nach sozialer und emotionaler Gesellschaft zu befriedigen. Wir sind überzeugt, dass der süße Caramelo für seine neue Familie ein fröhlicher Begleiter sein wird, der bereit ist, all die Liebe, die in ihm steckt, mit seinen neuen Menschen zu teilen. Wenn Sie glauben, dass dieser liebe Rüde mit seinem auffälligen Ringelschwänzchen gut zu Ihnen passen könnte, dann melden Sie sich gerne bei uns. Caramelo ist kastriert, geimpft, gechipt und hat einen EU-Heimtierausweis. Bei Ausreise ist er auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet sowie entwurmt und entfloht. Impfungen Ja Mittelmeercheck Ja Microchip Ja Krankheiten Keine bekannt Schutzgebühr 500 € inkl. Transport Ansprechpartner Kris Melka Email: Anfrageformular

About Caramelo

What life with Caramelo looks like

Caramelo is a small puppy/kitten podenco dog waiting at Helfende Hände e.V. in Germany.

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 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 Caramelo, answered.

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