Lorenzo

Mixed Breed · Male

Have you seen our funny little troublemaker Catalina yet? Did you perhaps think that this would be the perfect dog for you if only you were a dog? Then today is your lucky day, and even if none of this has happened and you simply stumbled upon the pictures of our charming Lorenzo, this moment could bring an extremely pleasant turn in your (and also his) life. Everything is easier with a friend by your side—the motto under which Lorenzo and Catalina have fought for their survival over the last few months. Together through thick and thin and certainly also through many trash cans and restless nights, and now also together in the care of the loving animal welfare workers from Arca Sevilla. Lorenzo and Catalina used their first days in the animal shelter to rest in security, devour every meal, and happily appreciate the changes in their lives. Just like Catalina, our two-year-old (as of 08/2021) heartbreaker Lorenzo revealed himself to be a cheerful and intelligent rascal once the tiredness and stress had passed. Lorenzo is always welcome everywhere, is known for his cookie begging skills, and has already made good friends among his four-legged housemates. Lorenzo is a fun and uncomplicated companion who is looking for a nice and patient family that wants to explain the world to him. Of course, he already brings a lot of environmental knowledge with him (we could easily imagine that Lorenzo certainly knows how to search the kitchen trash can for food leftovers), but in other areas, the charming young dog still has to "stay after school." Riding in cars, walking on a leash, cuddling on the couch, and keeping promises regarding the protection of shoes are areas that are still on Lorenzo's curriculum—would you like to take over his education? We are sure that in return you will gain a new best friend...

Haben Sie schon unsere lustige Ulknudel Catalina gesehen? Dachten Sie sich vielleicht, dass das der perfekte Hund für Sie wäre, wenn Sie doch nur ein Rüde wäre? Dann haben Sie heute Ihren Glückstag, und auch wenn das alles nicht passiert ist und Sie einfach nur über die Bilder unseres Charmeurs Lorenzo gestolpert sind, könnte dieser Moment eine äußerst erfreuliche Wendung in Ihr (und auch sein) Leben bringen. Alles ist einfacher mit einem Freund an der Seite – das war das Motto, unter dem Lorenzo und Catalina die letzten Monate um ihr Überleben gekämpft haben. Gemeinsam durch Dick und Dünn und sicher auch durch so manchen Mülleimer und viele unruhige Nächte, und nun eben auch gemeinsam in die Obhut der liebevollen Tierschützer der Arca Sevilla. Lorenzo und Catalina nutzten die ersten Tage im Tierheim dazu, in Geborgenheit auszuruhen, jede Mahlzeit zu verschlingen und sich dankbar über die Veränderungen in ihrem Dasein zu freuen. Genau wie Catalina offenbarte sich auch unser zweijähriger (Stand 08/2021) Herzensbrecher Lorenzo als ein fröhliches und intelligentes Schlitzohr, als die Müdigkeit und der Stress gewichen waren. Lorenzo ist überall gern gesehen, ist bekannt für seine Keksbettel-Kenntnisse und hat auch unter seinen vierbeinigen Mitbewohnern schon gute Freunde gefunden. Lorenzo ist ein lustiger und unkomplizierter Geselle, der eine nette und geduldige Familie sucht, die ihm die Welt erklären möchte. Natürlich bringt er schon sehr viel Umweltwissen mit (wir könnten uns z.B. sehr gut vorstellen, dass Lorenzo durchaus weiß, wie man den Mülleimer in der Küche auf Essensreste durchforstet), aber in anderen Bereichen muss der charmante Junghund noch etwas „nachsitzen“. Autofahren, das Laufen an der Leine, Kuscheln auf der Couch und die Einhaltung von Verträgen, die die Verschonung von Schuhen betrifft, sind Fächer, die noch auf Lorenzos Lehrplan stehen – möchten Sie seine Weiterbildung übernehmen? Wir sind uns sicher, Sie gewinnen im Gegenzug einen neuen allerbesten Freund …

About Lorenzo

What life with Lorenzo looks like

Lorenzo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

An 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 Lorenzo, answered.

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