Nube

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Nube is a thoroughly loving lady, but when it comes to food, the otherwise easygoing girl becomes somewhat uncomfortable. Our friends from La Sonrisa Peluda in Malaga are not at all surprised by this. When Nube came into the care of animal welfare workers a year ago, she and some of her friends had been taken from a hunter. All the dogs arrived with bite marks and underweight, probably there was never enough food for all, and each meal became a battle. Nube can now eat near other dogs, but she simply wants her peace, because she had to constantly expect that someone would steal the small portion she had literally fought for with her life. Nube is seven years old (as of 03/2022) and tested positive for leishmaniasis upon her arrival at the animal shelter. After a leishmanial treatment with Milteforan, she is now on Allopurinol, the disease is completely under control, and according to veterinary examinations, previous outbreaks have not caused any damage to joints or organs. It can therefore be said that Nube is indeed a healthy dog despite this chronic and incurable disease. If you are interested in our snowflake, we will gladly help you to inform yourself objectively about what life with a LM dog means, what you need to know, and what may come your way. Nube is a loving, affectionate girl who likes to play and loves walks. However, as mentioned, she comes from a hunter, and this shows especially when the otherwise friendly girl sees a cat. Nube cannot go out often at the animal shelter, and there is also no time to really train with the dogs. Therefore, it is difficult to say whether our cream puff will ever be able to walk without a leash. But basically, it's not decisive. Our Podencos and their mixes have other advantages. Physical activity can be achieved well through dog sports, playing in the garden, also running alongside a bicycle, jogging, and many other things are excellent alternatives. But on the long pro list of these clever Spaniards, there are still many points that are far more interesting. The Podenco is usually very calm and balanced in the house. He does not tend to bark or overprotect, he moves almost silently and loves cuddles above all. As a confident working dog, most learn quickly how to be alone without embellishing the furniture out of boredom or adding extra holes to the family shoes. Nube spent six years in a dark barn, abused, mistreated, and not seen as a beloved pet. Now she lives in an animal shelter - and for her, this is probably already paradise, but we wish our beauty to soon learn what it is like to lie beside loved ones on the couch, go for walks multiple times a day, dig up a garden, play with dog friends, and simply have a wonderful dog's life ...

Nube ist eine durch und durch liebe Lady, nur wenn es ums Futter geht, dann wird das sonst so umgängliche Mädchen etwas ungemütlich. Unsere Freunde von La Sonrisa Peluda in Malaga wundert das aber nicht im Geringsten. Als Nube vor einem Jahr in die Obhut der Tierschützer kam, hatte man sie und einige ihrer Freunde von einem Jäger geholt. Alle Hunde kamen mit Bissspuren und abgemagert, vermutlich gab es nie genug Futter für alle und jede Mahlzeit wurde zum Krieg. Nube kann inzwischen schon in der Nähe anderer fressen, aber sie will dabei einfach ihre Ruhe haben, zu lange musste sie immer damit rechnen, dass jemand die kleine Portion, die sie sich buchstäblich unter Einsatz ihres Lebens erobert hatte, stehlen würde. Nube ist sieben Jahre alt (Stand 03/2022) und wurde bei ihrer Ankunft im Tierheim positiv auf Leishmaniose getestet. Nach einer leishmaniziden Behandlung mit Milteforan ist sie mittlerweile auf Allopurinol eingestellt, die Krankheit ist momentan komplett unter Kontrolle und vorangegangene Schübe haben, soweit man das bei den tierärztlichen Untersuchungen feststellen kann, keinerlei Schäden an Gelenken oder Organen hinterlassen. Man kann also durchaus behaupten, dass Nube trotz dieser chronischen und unheilbaren Krankheit ein gesunder Hund ist. Wenn Sie sich für unsere Schneeflocke interessieren, dann helfen wir Ihnen gerne, sich sachlich zu informieren, was ein Leben mit einem LM-Hund ausmacht, was Sie wissen müssen und was gegebenenfalls auf Sie zukommen kann. Nube ist ein liebevolles, zärtliches Mädchen, das gerne spielt und Spaziergänge liebt. Allerdings kommt sie, wie erwähnt, von einem Jäger, und das zeigt sich vor allem, wenn das sonst so freundliche Mädchen eine Katze sieht. Nube kann im Tierheim natürlich nicht oft raus, und Zeit, wirklich mit den Hunden zu trainieren, ist auch nicht. Deswegen ist es schwer zu sagen, ob unser Sahnehäubchen je ohne Leine laufen können wird. Aber im Prinzip ist das auch nicht entscheidend. Unsere Podencos und ihre Mischlinge haben ganz andere Vorzüge. Die körperliche Auslastung erreicht man gut über Hundesport, Toben im Garten, auch das Laufen am Fahrrad, Joggen und vieles andere sind hervorragende Alternativen. Aber auf dem langen Pro-Konto der pfiffigen Spanier finden sich noch viele Punkte, die weitaus interessanter sind. Der Podenco ist im Haus meist ein überaus ruhiger und ausgeglichener Zeitgenosse. Er neigt weder zum Kläffen noch zum übermäßigen Beschützen, er bewegt sich fast lautlos und genießt Streicheleinheiten über alles. Als souveräner Arbeitshund lernen die meisten auch sehr schnell, wie man problemlos allein bleibt, ohne vor Langeweile die Wohnungseinrichtung zu verschönern oder die Schuhe der Familie mit zusätzlichen Luftlöchern zu versehen. Nube hatte sechs Jahre in einer dunklen Scheune, missbraucht, misshandelt und nicht als geliebtes Haustier wahrgenommen. Nun lebt sie in einem Tierheim – und für sie ist das wohl schon das Paradies, aber wir wünschen unserer Schönheit, dass sie bald lernen darf, wie es ist, neben geliebten Menschen auf der Couch zu liegen, mehrmals am Tag spazieren zu gehen, einen Garten umzugraben, mit Hundekumpels zu toben und schlicht ein wundervolles Hundeleben zu haben …

About Nube

What life with Nube looks like

Nube is a small 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 Nube, answered.

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