Icaro

Mixed Breed · Male

A little frisky Podenco with the large typical ears! Icaro had some luck! Attentive workers found the little guy in the street ditch and brought him to our shelter. There, he settled in well and enjoys playing and romping with the other dogs. Icaro is a sweet, well-behaved boy, no barker. He is absolutely compatible with dogs and cats, and even likes children! Podencos are true family dogs and they love their pack above all else! The gentleness also characterizes his personality. But Icaro is still young and wants to play, romp, and explore the world. He loves being outside and moving around. Icaro is looking for his place in a sporty family that can show him how wonderful dog life can be.

Ein kleiner fröhlicher Podenco mit den großen typischen Ohren! Icaro hatte Glück! Aufmerksame Arbeiter fanden den kleinen Kerl im Straßengraben und brachten ihn ins Refugium. Dort hat er sich gut eingelebt und genießt es mit den anderen Hunden zu spielen und zu toben. Icaro ist ein lieber braver Junge, kein Beller. Er ist absolut verträglich mit Hunden und Katzen, auch Kinder mag er! Podencos sind richtige Familienhunde und sie lieben ihr Rudel über alles! Auch die Sanftheit zeichnet seinen Charakter aus. Aber Icaro ist noch jung und will viel spielen, toben und die Welt entdecken. Er liebt es draußen zu sein und sich zu bewegen. Icaro sucht seinen Platz in einer sportlichen Familie, die ihn zeigen wie schön doch ein Hundeleben sein kann.

About Icaro

What life with Icaro looks like

Icaro is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Icaro, answered.

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