Adopt Mauricio

Podenco · Male · Adult · 4 years

The handsome 4-year-old Podenco male dog Mauricio was allowed to take a dog bed with us in May. From the very first moment, it can be felt how much he seeks orientation and security among fellow animals. This could help him better orient himself in the world of two-legged beings. Still, his new environment and many new people are a lot for him; he gets scared easily with sounds or sudden movements. Podencos are sensitive but also active dogs. Sovereign and experienced people would do him good, as would a home in a suburban or rural setting, ideally with an existing sovereign fellow animal. A healthy portion of curiosity is present in Mauricio. If given some time to approach, he also enjoys the presence of familiar people and the cuddles that come with it. If you would like to meet Mauricio, please come personally to the animal shelter during our mediation times or send a meaningful email to our animal caretakers.

Der hübsche 4 jährige Podenco Rüde Mauricio durfte im Mai ein Körbchen bei uns beziehen. Vom ersten Moment ist zu spüren, wie sehr er Orientierung und Sicherheit bei Artgenossen sucht. Diese könnten ihm helfen, sich in der Welt der Zweibeiner besser zu orientieren.Noch ist sein neues Umfeld und viele neue Menschen sehr viel für ihn, bei Geräuschen oder plötzlichen Bewegungen erschrickt er schnell.Podencos sind sensible aber auch aktive Hunde, souveräne und erfahrene Menschen würden ihm gut tun, ebenso ein Zuhause in Stadtrandlage oder ländlich, bestenfalls mit einem vorhandenen souveränen Artgenossen.Eine gesunde Portion Neugier ist bei Mauricio vorhanden, gibt man ihm etwas Zeit zur Annäherung, genießt er durchaus auch schon die Gegenwart ihm vertrauter Menschen und damit verbundene Streicheleinheiten.Wenn Sie Mauricio kennenlernen möchten, kommen Sie gern während der Vermittlungszeiten persönlich im Tierheim vorbei oder schreiben Sie eine aussagekräftige E Mail unter an unsere Tierpflegerinnen.

About Mauricio

What life with Mauricio looks like

Mauricio is a adult podenco dog waiting at Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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 Mauricio, answered.

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