How do I contact the shelter about Dharma Podenco?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. TS Fellwechsel e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dharma Podenco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Dharma Podenco if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TS Fellwechsel 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 Dharma Podenco 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 Dharma Podenco 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 TS Fellwechsel e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dharma Podenco and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Dharma Podenco

Female · Young · 2 years

(with video) Dharma was severely injured and found febrile in the fields on the outskirts of Madrid in November 2025. She had several severely infected wounds and could not use her front leg. X-rays revealed that Dharma had been shot, resulting in the destruction of her elbow joint. She had to undergo surgery after a few days of stabilization, but it was uncertain for a long time whether Dharma's leg would need to be amputated. While the joint has healed, Dharma is still physically limited and suffers from chronic back pain due to the lasting strain. Potential adopters must be aware that Dharma will require ongoing veterinary and physiotherapeutic care, including tailored pain management, for the rest of her life. At the animal shelter, Dharma lives in our Marta group, where she shows herself to be a very gentle and reserved female dog. Dharma is a young female dog who jumps and bounds within her physical capabilities, sometimes even beyond them, which is not good for her health. Here, her human family is needed to find the right balance between physical exertion and rest phases for regeneration. Regular tailored physiotherapy, targeted muscle building, attention to her ideal weight, and appropriate movement will definitely extend Dharma's lifespan. But it's not just about quantity, but also about the quality of her days. Therefore, we hope that Dharma will have the chance to find a loving home where she and her needs are at the center, and she feels loved and appreciated. For people who take care of her, give her her due, and find time for cuddly moments, because Dharma is simply a wonderful, gentle, and affectionate girl who deserves to find her happiness. Born: 02.05.2024, Height: approx. 38 cm, Weight: approx. 9.6 kg, Compatible with fellow animals: yes, Temperament: gentle, cuddly, friendly, at the animal shelter since November 2025, with handicap Dharma travels microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, tested for all Mediterranean diseases, and a blood test of organ values is also performed before travel arrangements. Dharma will be provided with a safety harness.

(mit Video) Dharma wurde im November 2025 schwerverletzt und fiebernd in den Feldern der Peripherie von Madrid gefunden. Sie hatte mehrere stark entzündete Wunden und konnte ihr Vorderbein nicht benutzen. Röntgenbilder offenbarten, dass auf Dharma geschossen worden war. Dabei wurde ihr Ellenbogengelenk verheerend zertrümmert, so dass Dharma nach einigen Tage der Stabilisierung operiert werden musste. Die Operation war sehr schwierig, das Gelenk wurde verplattet und damit versteift, doch es war lange Zeit nicht klar, ob Dharmas Bein nicht doch noch amputiert werden müsste. Mittlerweile ist das Gelenk zwar verheilt, doch Dharma ist weiterhin körperlich stark eingeschränkt und hat durch die dauerhafte Fehlbelastung Schmerzen im Rücken. Interessenten müssen sich also bewußt machen, dass Dharma ihr Leben lang eine gute tierärztliche und physiotherapeutische Betreuung benötigt inkl. angepasster Schmerztherapie. Im Tierheim darf Dharma in der Hundegruppe unserer Marta leben, wo sie sich als sehr sanfte und zurückhaltende Hündin zeigt. Dharma ist eine junge Hündin, sie hüpft und springt im Rahmen ihrer Möglichkeiten und auch mal darüber hinaus, was ihr gesundheitlich natürlich nicht guttut. Hier sind ihre Menschen gefragt, die richtige Mischung für diese bezaubernde und verschmuste Hündin zu finden zwischen körperlicher Belastung und Ruhephasen zur Regeneration. Regelmäßige angepasste Physiotherapie, gezielter Muskelaufbau, das Achten auf ihr Idealgewicht und angepasste Bewegung werden Dharmas Lebenszeit definitiv verlängern. Doch es geht ja nicht nur um die Quantität, sondern auch um die Qualität der Tage. Deshalb hoffen wir, dass Dharma die Chance auf ein liebevolles Zuhause bekommt, wo sie und ihre Bedürfnisse im Mittelpunkt stehen und sie sich geliebt und beachtet fühlen darf. Bei Menschen, die sich mit ihr befassen, sie kopfmäßig auslasten und Zeit für ausgiebige Kuscheleinheiten finden, denn Dharma ist einfach ein wundervolles, sanftes und liebeswürdiges Mädchen, dass es mehr als verdient hat, ihr Glück zu finden. Geboren: 02.05.2024, Größe: ca. 38 cm, Gewicht: ca. 9,6 kg, Verträglich mit Artgenossen: ja, Charakter: sanft, verschmust, freundlich, im Tierheim seit November 2025, mit Handicap Dharma reist gechipt, geimpft, kastriert, auf alle Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet, ebenfalls wird vor Ausreise ein Blutbild der Organwerte erstellt. Dharma wird mit Sicherheitsgeschirr übergeben.
