Lieber Balto mit Handicap

Podenco · Male · Senior · 11 years

Lively and open-hearted Balto with a handicap, a neutered Podenco-male dog, born on 01.03.2015. Balto was found in April 2023 in a small village in the province of Tarragona, likely deemed unusable by a hunter due to a broken front leg. Unfortunately, the fracture did not heal well, and according to Spanish animal welfare workers, a correction is not possible. The treasure belongs to the welcome committee at the animal shelter and finds everything happening around him wonderful. Balto is a cheerful and well-behaved fellow, finds cuddles great, and enjoys going for walks. Balto is friendly and kind with fellow animals and lives in a large, mixed pack. 😇Every soul in the universe is assigned a guardian angel, and Balto’s angel would like to ask to help him find a loving home on this journey. 😇 Balto is at the Spanish animal shelter Torredembarra and looks forward to potential adopters or visitors. He could be vaccinated, microchipped, and travel with an EU pet passport at any time. For more information about Balto, please do not hesitate to contact Hundeblicke e. V. Ute Mertner or via email:

Lebensfroher und offenherziger Balto mit Handicap, kastrierter Podenco-Rüde, geb. 01.03.2015 Balto wurde im April 2023 in einem kleinen Dorf in der Provinz Tarragona mit einem älteren Bruch am Vorderbein ausgesetzt gefunden, wahrscheinlich wurde er für den Jäger unbrauchbar. Die Fraktur ist leider nicht gut zusammengewachsen, eine Korrektur ist laut der spanischen Tierschützer nicht möglich. Der Schatz gehört zum Empfangskomitee im Tierheim und findet alles toll, was um ihn herum passiert. Balto ist ein fröhlicher und braver Kerl, findet Streicheleinheiten klasse und geht gerne spazieren. Mit Artgenossen ist Balto kontaktfreudig und nett - er lebt in einem großen, gemischten Rudel. 😇Jede Seele im Universum ist ein Schutzengel zugeordnet und Balto’s Engel möchte ich bitten, ihm zu helfen auf diesem Weg ein liebevolles Zuhause zu finden.😇 Balto befindet sich im spanischen Tierheim Torredembarra und freut sich auf Interessenten oder Besuch. Er könnte jederzeit geimpft, gechipt und mit einem EU-Heimtierpass ausreisen. Sie möchten mehr Infos über Balto? Dann zögern Sie nicht und kontaktieren Sie bitte Hundeblicke e. V.

About Lieber Balto mit Handicap

What life with Lieber Balto mit Handicap looks like

Lieber Balto mit Handicap is a large senior podenco dog waiting at Step by Paw e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Lieber Balto mit Handicap, answered.

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