Adopt Leo – blieb beim Besitzer

Podenco · Male

Info: unneutered, vaccinated, microchipped, MMT negative Stay: 97292 Holzkirchen Leo, formerly a Podenco, a sensitive, friendly, and inquisitive male dog. At times, he can be unsure around people, and he adapts to how people approach him. He mirrors his counterpart; if a person shows sensitivity and has no expectations of him, then he approaches gently. If they want to immediately handle and interact more, he will bark at them. It is not his fault. In the house, Leo is clingy, seeking proximity and is mentally with them. As soon as he goes out, he takes in many pleasant scents and traces, becoming immersed in his hunting world. A suitable training for his prey drive must be well-structured, making them more interesting than anything that moves. Enjoy the process, as it is a good bonding job with much respect and trust-building, a shared learning, experiencing, and respecting. Cadaver obedience does not belong to a Podenco; he is a free spirit and wants to be picked up according to his nature. Leo enjoys movement, goes well on a leash, but only if he is obedient, getting everything as prescribed, being confined frustrates him. He also wants the opportunity to explore his world, to mouse, to dig, to meet friends, play, run … at his speed, mood, and whim. Contact:

Info: unkastriert, geimpft, gechipt, MMT negativ Aufenthalt: 97292 Holzkirchen Leo, seines Zeichens ein Podenco, ein sensibler, freundlicher und neugieriger Rüde. Mitunter zeigt er sich unsicher gegenüber Menschen, er macht es daran fest, wie Mensch ihm begegnet. Er spiegelt sein Gegenüber, zeigt Mensch sich sensibel und nichts von ihm erwartend, dann nimmt er zart Kontakt auf. Wollen sie ihn sogleich anfassen und mehr, dann verbellt er sie. Es ist ihm nicht zu verdenken. Im Haus ist Leo anhänglich, sucht Nähe und ist mental bei ihnen. Sobald es rausgeht, er viele gut riechende Düfte und Spuren aufnimmt, ist er in seinem jagdlichen Universum. Ein passendes Training für seinen Jagdtrieb muss gut aufgebaut werden, sie müssen für ihn interessanter sein, als alles was sich bewegt. Viel Spaß dabei, denn es ist eine gute Bindungsarbeit mit viel Respekt- und Vertrauensaufbau, ein gemeinsames Lernen, erfahren und respektieren. Kadavergehorsam gehört nicht zu einem Podenco, er ist ein Freigeist und möchte bei seiner Bestimmung abgeholt werden. Leo ist gerne in Bewegung, geht gut an der Leine, aber nur gehorsam sein, alles vorgeschrieben bekommen, eingeengt zu werden, dass frustriert ihn. Er möchte auch die Möglichkeit haben seine Welt zu entdecken, zu mäuseln, zu buddeln, Kumpels treffen, spielen, rennen ….in seiner Geschwindigkeit, Lust und Laune. Kontakt:

Frequently asked

Adopting Leo – blieb beim Besitzer, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Leo – blieb beim Besitzer?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Franken e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation.

Can I adopt Leo – blieb beim Besitzer if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases.

Is Leo – blieb beim Besitzer 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 Leo – blieb beim Besitzer 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.

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.
