Odon

Mixed Breed · Male

Unikum is looking for a home! Better than that, you can't summarize Odón's request ... Odón is built like a small Labrador, he has the fur of a rough-haired dachshund and his color obviously comes from the Podenco. Just as funny as his appearance is the character of this charming one-and-a-half-year-old fellow. The red and white puppy was discovered by an animal rescuer on the way home - Odón tried to cross a busy street and received a multi-voiced horn concert for this highly dangerous stunt. Our friend drove to the right side of the road, but did not expect to be able to do anything alone - but as soon as she opened the driver's door, Odón ran up, lay on his back and demanded a tummy massage. Surprised, the animal rescuer let the friendly young dog in, and now the cheerful heartbreaker lives in Arca Sevilla and patiently waits until a family invites him to conquer hearts and, of course, the couch in their home. Odón is a fun-loving and easygoing buddy who has quickly made friends in Arca. He is an enthusiastic soccer player and is always first in line when someone has time for a caress. Odón is a very lovable and affectionate playmate who gets along great with children. We hope very much that the extremely social male dog does not have to wait too long before he can leave the world of bars and concrete floors. If he could write a wish list to Santa, a own family for cuddling and loving, for shared adventures and cozy TV evenings would be at the top, followed directly by his first own colorful ball.

Unikum sucht Unterkunft! Besser kann man Odóns Anliegen nicht auf den Punkt bringen … Odón ist gebaut wie ein kleiner Labrador, er hat das Fell eines Rauhaardackels und seine Farbe stammt unübersehbar vom Podenco. So lustig wie sein Äußeres ist auch der Charakter des erst eineinhalb Jahre alten Charmeurs. Der rot-weiße Junghund wurde von einer Tierschützerin auf dem Heimweg entdeckt – Odón versuchte, eine vielbefahrene Straße zu überqueren und erntete bei diesem hochgefährlichen Stunt ein mehrstimmiges Hupkonzert. Unsere Freundin fuhr an den rechten Straßenrand, erwartete aber nicht, dass sie allein etwas ausrichten könne – doch kaum hatte sie die Fahrertür geöffnet, kam Odón angerannt, legte sich auf den Rücken und forderte eine Bauchmassage. Überrascht ließ die Tierschützerin den freundlichen Jungspund einsteigen, und nun wohnt der fröhliche Herzensbrecher eben in der Arca Sevilla und wartet geduldig, bis eine Familie ihn einlädt, in ihrem Zuhause Herzen und natürlich auch die Couch zu erobern. Odón ist ein lustiger und umgänglicher Kumpeltyp, der schnell Freunde in der Arca gefunden hat. Er ist ein begeisterter Fußballspieler und steht immer in erster Reihe, wenn jemand Zeit für eine Streicheleinheit hat. Odón ist ein sehr liebenswerter und zärtlicher Spielgenosse, der auch mit Kindern super auskommt. Wir hoffen sehr, dass der überaus soziale Rüde nicht allzu lange warten muss, bis er die Welt der Gitterstäbe und Betonböden verlassen darf. Könnte er einen Wunschzettel ans Christkind schreiben, würde eine eigene Familie zum Kuscheln und Liebhaben, für gemeinsame Abenteuer und gemütliche Fernsehabende ganz oben stehen, direkt gefolgt von seinem ersten eigenen kunterbunten Ball.

About Odon

What life with Odon looks like

Odon 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 Odon, answered.

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