Pelusa &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Get to know Pelusa! Pelusa is a beautifully marked Podenca who will soon celebrate her 8th birthday (as of July 2025). With a shoulder height of 40 cm and fur the color of vanilla ice cream, Pelusa is not only visually stunning but also a true treasure in character. Pelusa is a happy and sociable female dog who gets along well with other dogs and is very affectionate and social with people. She is neutered, vaccinated, and in top form for her age, pumping with health. The playful Cream Princess currently lives in the animal shelter of ArcoNatura. In May 2025, her owner, an older man, passed away, and unfortunately, no one in the family stepped forward to take care of the two dogs he left behind. Pelusa is active and loves to play and run around. She is a faithful companion waiting to find a new home where she can share all her affection and joy. Pelusa is no longer a puppy, but she is still playful and energetic, cuddling with the same devotion as she plays. She is the perfect companion for long walks and will gladly take on the role of relaxation trainer afterward. Don't hesitate to contact us if you would like to learn more about Pelusa. Our older dogs are often overlooked, but they still have so much to give. Please consider carefully whether you really want to scroll past this sweet temptation on four legs.

Lernen Sie Pelusa kennen! Pelusa ist eine bildhübsche Podenca, die bald ihren 8. Geburtstag feiert (Stand 07/2025). Mit einer Schulterhöhe von 40 cm und einem Fell, das die Farbe von Vanilleeis hat, ist Pelusa nicht nur äußerlich ein Hingucker, sondern auch charakterlich ein wahrer Schatz. Pelusa ist eine fröhliche und gesellige Hündin, die sich gut mit anderen Hunden versteht und auch mit Menschen sehr liebevoll und sozial umgeht. Sie ist kastriert, geimpft und für ihr Alter pumperlgesund und in bester Form. Das lustige Sahneprinzesschen lebt derzeit im Tierheim der ArcoNatura. Im Mai 2025 verstarb ihr Besitzer, ein älterer Mann, und in der Familie fand sich leider niemand, der sich um die beiden Hunde kümmern wollte, die er zurückließ. Pelusa ist aktiv und liebt es, zu spielen und zu toben. Sie ist eine treue Begleiterin, die darauf wartet, nochmal ein schönes Zuhause zu finden, in dem sie all ihre Zuneigung und Freude teilen kann. Pelusa ist kein Welpe mehr, aber sie ist lustig und energetisch, kuschelt mit genauso viel Hingabe wie sie spielt. Sie ist die perfekte Begleitung für ausgedehnte Spaziergänge und übernimmt hinterher gerne den Part der Entspannungstrainerin. Scheuen Sie sich nicht, uns zu kontaktieren, wenn Sie mehr über Pelusa erfahren möchten. Unsere älteren Hunde werden so oft übersehen, dabei haben sie noch so viel zu geben. Bitte überlegen Sie gut, ob Sie diese süße Versuchung auf vier Pfoten wirklich einfach so wegscrollen möchten.

About Pelusa &#8211

What life with Pelusa &#8211 looks like

Pelusa &#8211 is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

An young 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 Pelusa &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pelusa &#8211?
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 Pelusa &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pelusa &#8211 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 Pelusa &#8211 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 Pelusa &#8211 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 Pelusa &#8211 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.
