PATRICIO

Male · Senior · 9 years

+++Update 09.06.2022+++PATRICIO is back at the animal shelter. What happened? Patricia was rehomed to a nice family in Spain in 2018. She kept ending up back at the local animal shelter because she was picked up on the street. Her owner would always pick her up and promise to be more careful in the future. One day, a team member saw a photo of her at the Elda animal shelter and we got the info that she wasn't being picked up again. The girls immediately brought back their beloved chatty head and now we're taking care of him again ❤PATRICIO is such a ray of sunshine, a wonderful dog – it breaks our hearts that he was so easily left behind. But we're even happier to have accidentally discovered him and to now be able to take responsibility for him again. Welcome back, PATRICIO ❤ +++Update 2018+++We met PATRICIO personally on our Spain visit. He's a totally charming chatty head, always friendly, super cuddly, and playful. A great guy with a special aura. +++Update 2018+++PATRICIO is simply a gem. So lively and friendly, absolutely compatible with other dogs. Sometimes he plays the little clown and makes the girls and helpers at the animal shelter laugh. He loves to snuggle and be stroked. +++Update 2018+++PATRICIO settled in well after just a few days and showed himself to be an open and curious guy. He's very active, has a breed-specific portion of prey drive, and in his new family, there should be no cats. He loves children very much, is playful, and likes to snuggle a lot and for a long time. Happy, very curious, open to people and dogs, active, because of the breed he also has a pronounced prey drive, dislikes cats, loves children, playful, and adores cuddles. +++PATRICIO's Story+++PATRICIO wandered around on the street, totally hungry and nervous, wagging his tail happily when he saw his rescuers and willingly trotted along. He's a friendly and actually open guy, but very submissive and nervous. He needs good food now, he's very thin, and a portion of love...

+++Update 09.06.2022+++Patricio ist zurück im Tierheim ? Was ist passiert?Patricia wurde 2018 an eine nette Familie in Spanien vermittelt. Immer wieder landete der junge Rüde im örtlichen Tierheim, weil er auf der Strasse aufgegriffen wurde. Jedesmal holte sein Besitzer ihn ab und versicherte, in Zukunft besser auf ihn aufzupassen.Zufällig sah ein Teammitglied ein Foto von ihm im Tierheim von Elda und wir bekamen die Info, dass er diesmal nicht wieder abgeholt wurde. Sofort holten die Mädels den damals heißgeliebten Quatschkopf zurück zu Adoptamics und natürlich kümmern wir uns nun wieder um ihn ❤Patricio ist so ein Sonnenschein, ein wunderbarer Hund - es bricht uns das Herz, dass er so einfach zurück gelassen wurde. Aber umso mehr freuen wir uns, ihn zufällig entdeckt zu haben und dass wir nun wieder die Verantwortung für ihn übernehmen können.Welcome back, Patricio ❤ +++Update 2018+++Wir haben Patricio bei unserem Spanienbesuch persönlich kennen gelernt. Er ist ein tooootal charmanter Quatschkopf, immer ausnahmslos freundlich, super verschmust und verspielt. Ein ganz toller Kerl mit einer ganz besonderen Ausstrahung. +++Update 2018+++Patricio ist einfach ein Goldstück. So ein lebensfroher und freundlicher Kerl, absolut toll verträglich mit den anderen Hunden. Manchmal spielt er den kleinen Clown und bringt die Mädels und Helfer im Tierheim zum Lachen. Er liebt es zu schmusen und gestreichelt zu werden. +++Update 2018+++Patricio hat sich nach wenigen Tagen schon ganz gut eingelebt und zeigt sich als aufgeschlossener und neugieriger Kerl. Er ist sehr aktiv, hat rassebedingt eine ordentliche Portion Jagdtrieb und in seiner neuen Familien sollten daher keine Katzen leben. Er mag Kinder sehr gerne, ist verspielt und schmust sehr gerne und ausgiebig. Fröhlich, sehr Neugierig, aufgeschlossen gegenüber Menschen und Hunden, aktiv, wegen der Rasse hat er auch einen ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb, mag keine Katzen, lieb zu Kindern, verspielt und liebt Streicheleinheiten. +++Patricio´s Geschichte+++Patricio irrte auf der Strasse umher, total ausgehungert und nervös, wedelte erfreut mit dem Schwänzchen als er seine Retter sah und trabte bereitwillig mit.Er ist ein freundlicher und eigentlich aufgeschlossener Kerl, aber sehr unterwürfig und nervös. Er braucht jetzt erstmal gutes Futter, er ist arg dünn, und eine Portion Liebe...

About PATRICIO

What life with PATRICIO looks like

PATRICIO is a senior dog waiting at Dogs and Friends e.V. in Hanau.

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 PATRICIO, answered.

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