Connor

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 8 months

Connor is an 8-month-old (as of 12/2022), extremely nice young man who has been in the care of Arca Sevilla since October. The playful mixed breed was wandering alone in a village, and some locals had known him for a long time as a friendly tramp. Before the animal catchers could take notice, our partners took care of this friendly pup. Connor is an interesting mix. Obviously, a Podenco had its fingers in the production of this playful teenager, but his funny spots also suggest the involvement of a Pointer - and, to be honest, every time I look more closely at his pictures, I see at least 10 other breeds that could have contributed to the creation of such a rare beautiful unique. Connor doesn't care about his pedigree at all, he focuses on being a great buddy for his four-legged roommates and getting cookies and cuddles from the volunteers with his most beautiful dachshund look (even though it's quite certain there's no dachshund in the gene pool of this playboy). Connor actually only needed a few days to integrate all volunteers in Sevilla into his fan club. The young, playful male dog is a master at snuggling and loving. His big eyes are irresistible and now you can even see around his formerly so well-defined middle that his "I want a cookie" look is already a bit too successful. Even among the four-legged roommates, Connor has quickly become a real class clown, whom especially his peers appreciate very much as a playmate and sport companion. Connor is a real buddy, a sunshine with solo entertainer qualities, who is now looking for his final circle of influence. He doesn't need super experienced dog owners, but athletic, humorous, open-minded, and above all loving people who want to start a fun adventure with him. Have you fallen in love and were going to buy new running shoes anyway? Well, then get in touch with us, and maybe our spotted Podi clown will soon storm straight into your heart and your life!

Connor ist ein 8 Monate alter (Stand 12/2022), äußerst netter junger Mann, der seit Oktober in der Obhut der Arca Sevilla wohnt. Der lustige Mischling war allein in einem Dorf unterwegs, einigen Anwohnern war er wohl schon länger als zutraulicher Tramp bekannt. Bevor die Hundefänger auf ihn aufmerksam werden konnten, nahmen sich unsere Partner des freundlichen Jungspunds an. Connor ist eine interessante Mischung. Unübersehbar hatte ein Podenco seine Finger in der Produktion des spielfreudigen Teenagers, aber seine lustigen Tupfen lassen auch auf die Beteiligung eines Pointers schließen – und, um ehrlich zu sein, sehe ich jedes Mal, wenn ich seine Bilder genauer betrachte, noch mindestens 10 andere Rassen, die am Zustandekommen eines solch selten hübschen Unikums beteiligt sein könnten. Connor ist sein Stammbaum aber vollkommen egal, er konzentriert sich ganz darauf, einfach ein netter Kumpel für seine vierbeinigen Mitbewohner zu sein und mit seinem schönsten Dackelblick (auch, wenn ziemlich sicher kein Dackel im Genpool des Spielmobils steckt) Kekse und Streicheleinheiten von den Freiwilligen zu bekommen. Connor hat tatsächlich nur wenige Tage gebraucht, um alle Ehrenamtlichen in Sevilla in seinen Fanclub zu integrieren. Der junge, verspielte Rüde ist ein Meister im Ankuscheln und Liebhaben. Sein Kulleraugenblick ist unwiderstehlich und inzwischen sieht man auch um seine vormals so taillierte Mitte herum, dass sein „Ich möchte bitte einen Keks“-Augenaufschlag schon etwas zu erfolgreich ist. Auch unter den vierbeinigen Mitbewohnern ist Connor schnell zu einem echten Klassenclown avanciert, den vor allen seine Altersgenossen als Spiel- und Sportkameraden sehr zu schätzen wissen. Connor ist ein richtiger Buddy, ein Sonnenschein mit Alleinunterhalterqualitäten, der nun seinen endgültigen Wirkungskreis sucht. Er braucht keine supererfahrenen Hundehalter, aber sportliche, humorvolle, weltoffene und vor allem liebevolle Menschen, die mit ihm in ein lustiges Abenteuer starten wollen. Sie haben sich verliebt und wollten sowieso gerade neue Laufschuhe kaufen? Nun, dann setzen Sie sich doch mal mit uns in Verbindung, und vielleicht stürmt unser gepunkteter Podi-Clown ja schon bald mitten in Ihr Herz und Ihr Leben?!

About Connor

What life with Connor looks like

Connor is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

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 Connor, answered.

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