Fly

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 10 months

Fly is one of those wonderful mixed breed dogs that raise different assumptions about their background with every glance. This 10-month-old (as of 01/2023) male dog is a movement miracle. But occasionally, the hind legs of this elegant athlete still overtake his front legs – but this is by no means surprising, Fly hasn't had much time to get used to the length of his limbs yet – clearly: one grows with one's tasks. Fly originally comes from Huelva, but is currently living in Pfalz with a loving foster family who want to give him a great start as a family dog. The lovable young pup was taken in at the beginning of December 2022 by our friends from Puntanimals into the small facility in Huelva. Before that, Fly wandered alone through the streets and alleys, visited cafes, and asked passersby for food and cuddles with all his charm. A friendly dog like Fly is naturally an easy target for dog catchers, and so the friendly floppy ear had to move to the animal shelter. After our teenager had all his vaccinations and was neutered, he naturally also received his stylish blue travel document, and because a young dog aiming for a career as the best friend of a family should not stay too long in the animal shelter, he quickly embarked on his journey to Germany. Now our charmer has only been in his temporary home for a few days, but he has already successfully captured hearts. Fly is an active and energetic dog who loves to play and run outside, but also reliably finds peace indoors and knows how to combine heating, dog bed, blanket, and a belly massage from a loving hand into the perfect nap. When meeting unfamiliar dogs, Fly is still a bit unsure, as rougher rules apply on the street and Fly prefers to avoid conflicts. However, Fly is also very open to making new friends, and once the introduction is complete, he brings out the play wagon and enjoys playing with other four-legged friends and testing his youthful strength. Fly is a kind and eager-to-learn young dog who would be a great addition to any active family. He can be visited and admired at his foster family's home (and he is happy if the visitors' pockets contain particularly delicious cookies). If you want to meet our heartbreaker, then contact his adoption officer quickly – Fly would like to rush into his final home with flying ears soon.

Fly ist einer dieser wundervollen Mischlinge, die bei jedem Blick eine andere Vermutung ob ihrer Abstammung wecken. Der erst 10 Monate alte (Stand 01/2023) Rüde ist ein überfallohriges Bewegungswunder. Aber hin und wieder überholen die Hinterbeine des eleganten Athleten noch seine Vorderbeine – das ist nun aber wiederum kein Wunder, Fly hatte noch nicht viel Zeit, sich an die Länge seiner Gliedmaßen zu gewöhnen – hier gilt wohl eindeutig: Man wächst mit seinen Aufgaben. Fly kommt eigentlich aus Huelva, wohnt aber derzeit in der Pfalz bei einer liebevollen Pflegefamilie, die ihm einen schönen Start ins Dasein als Familienhund ermöglichen möchte. Der liebenswerte Jungspund wurde Anfang Dezember 2022 von unseren Freunden von Puntanimals in die kleine Einrichtung in Huelva aufgenommen. Vorher irrte Fly allein durch die Straßen und Gassen, klapperte die Cafés ab und fragte mit all seinem Charme bei Passanten nach Futter und Streicheleinheiten. Ein zutraulicher Hund wie Fly ist natürlich ein leichtes Opfer für die Hundefänger und so durfte das freundliche Schlappohr ins Tierheim umsiedeln. Nachdem unser Teenager alle Impfungen hatte und kastriert war, erhielt er natürlich auch seinen schicken blauen Reisepass, und weil ein junger Hund, der eine Karriere als bester Freund einer Familie anstrebt, nicht allzu lange im Tierheim verweilen sollte, durfte er schnellstmöglich seine Reise nach Deutschland antreten. Jetzt ist unser Charmeur erst ein paar Tage in seinem vorübergehenden Zuhause, aber er hat die Herzen schon erfolgreich erobert. Fly ist ein aktiver und energetischer Hund, der draußen gerne tobt und spielt, aber im Haus dann auch zuverlässig Ruhe findet und weiß, wie man Heizung, Körbchen, Kuscheldecke und die Bauchmassage einer liebevollen Hand zu einem perfekten Nickerchen vereint. Bei Begegnungen mit ihm fremden Hunden ist Fly noch etwas unsicher, auf der Straße gelten eben etwas ruppigere Regeln und Fly geht gern jedem Konflikt aus dem Weg. Allerdings ist Fly auch sehr offen dafür, neue Freundschaften zu schließen, und ist das Kennenlernen abgeschlossen, packt er das Spielmobil aus und freut sich, mit anderen Vierbeinern zu spielen und seine jugendlichen Kräfte zu erproben. Fly ist ein lieber und lernwilliger Junghund, der für jede aktive Familie eine tolle Ergänzung wäre. Er kann bei seiner Pflegefamilie besucht und bestaunt werden (und er freut sich, wenn sich in den Hosentaschen der Besucher besonders leckere Kekse befinden). Wenn Sie unseren Herzensbrecher kennenlernen wollen, dann setzen Sie sich doch schnell mit seiner Vermittlerin in Verbindung – Fly würde gern bald mit fliegenden Ohren in sein endgültiges Zuhause stürmen.

About Fly

What life with Fly looks like

Fly is a small 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 Fly, answered.

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