Diego &#8211

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

In September 2025, Diego will celebrate his first birthday—what a wonderful opportunity to give him the most beautiful gift: a loving home! This extraordinary young dog with his charming "white socks" and cuddly appearance has already accumulated quite a bit of life experience—albeit not all of it pleasant. But Diego is ready to put the past behind him, celebrate the present, and start the future with a wide grin. Once alone on the streets, he was taken in by dog catchers at Perrera. After the required quarantine, he was able to move into Arca Sevilla, where he is now preparing for his second chance. Diego is a true ray of sunshine! He is friendly, open, and curious—a lively dog who wants to explore the world. He already runs (mostly!) impressively well on a leash and loves being close to his people. His cuddly and lovable nature touches our friends in Sevilla greatly, and it's a shame that there often isn't enough time to show Diego how much he is already loved. Diego gets along well with other dogs, likes children, and reacts calmly to the cats at the animal shelter. His simple and social nature makes him a wonderful friend for both the young and the young at heart. If you give Diego a home, you have the best chance of not only getting a loyal companion but also a true heart dog who will beautify your life with his love and joy every day.

Im September 2025 feiert Diego seinen ersten Geburtstag – eine großartige Gelegenheit, ihm das schönste Geschenk zu machen: ein liebevolles Zuhause! Dieser außergewöhnliche junge Hund mit seinen charmanten „weißen Socken“ und seinem kuscheligen Äußeren bringt bereits einiges an Lebenserfahrung mit – leider nicht nur schöne. Aber Diego ist bereit, die Vergangenheit zu vergessen, den Augenblick zu zelebrieren und mit einem breiten Grinsen in die Zukunft zu starten. Einst allein auf den Straßen unterwegs, wurde er von Hundefängern in die Perrera gebracht. Nach der vorgeschriebenen Quarantäne durfte er in die Arca Sevilla umziehen, wo er sich nun auf seine zweite Chance vorbereitet. Diego ist ein wahrer Sonnenschein! Er zeigt sich freundlich, aufgeschlossen und neugierig – ein aktiver Hund, der die Welt entdecken möchte. Schon jetzt läuft er (meistens!) beeindruckend brav an der Leine und liebt es, in der Nähe seiner Menschen zu sein. Seine verschmuste und liebenswerte Art berührt unsere Freunde in Sevilla sehr, und es ist schade, dass oft so wenig Zeit bleibt, Diego zu zeigen, wie sehr er jetzt schon geliebt wird. Diego versteht sich hervorragend mit anderen Hunden, mag Kinder und reagiert gelassen auf die Katzen im Tierheim. Seine unkomplizierte und soziale Natur macht ihn zu einem wunderbaren Freund für Groß und Klein. Wenn Sie Diego ein Zuhause schenken möchten, haben Sie die besten Chancen, nicht nur einen treuen Begleiter, sondern auch einen wahren Herzenshund zu bekommen, der Ihnen mit seiner Liebe und Lebensfreude jeden Tag verschönern wird.

About Diego &#8211

What life with Diego &#8211 looks like

Diego &#8211 is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

An young 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 Diego &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Diego &#8211?
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 Diego &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Diego &#8211 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 Diego &#8211 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 Diego &#8211 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 Diego &#8211 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.
