Perceo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Perceo has been at the animal shelter of our partners from Dolmen Animal since August 2022. Looking at his pictures and videos, one automatically assumes a very young but life-worn dog who has spent a lot of time on the streets. But all of this does not really apply to Perceo, because he is already 6 years old (as of 09/2022) and has had a home until now. His poor condition is due to the fact that his beloved master was already somewhat demented and constantly forgot to feed his best friend or let him back in when Perceo returned from lonely walks through the neighborhood. Now, Perceos owner has died, and the family of his owner has no interest in taking care of the friendly male dog, so our energetic new arrival had to move into the animal shelter. The animal protectors describe Perceo as a special dog who forms very close bonds with people. This little coal piece shows itself friendly with other dogs and enjoys playing, but Perceo can also cope well when things are quiet and no one can take care of him. Then he lies contentedly in his favorite corner and watches the lively activity in the yard. Perceo did not have a nice home, but he was loyal throughout his life and was certainly the last support for his long-time friend, from whom he had to say goodbye. Perceo often had to step back, now it would be nice if it were his turn to be pampered. We are looking for a home for this cheerful, grateful mixed breed, where he can discover life as a family dog, with long evenings on the couch with cookies and plenty of cuddles, trips to the dog meadow, cozy walks, and beautiful dreams in a soft dog bed. If you can and want to offer Perceo all of this, we look forward to hearing from you soon!

Perceo lebt seit August 2022 im Tierheim unserer Partner von Dolmen Animal. Sieht man seine Bilder und Videos, vermutet man automatisch einen sehr jungen, aber vom Leben gekennzeichneten Hund, der viel Zeit auf der Straße verbracht hat. Aber all das trifft auf Perceo nicht so wirklich zu, denn er ist schon 6 Jahre alt (Stand 09/2022) und hatte bis jetzt auch ein Zuhause. Seine schlechte Verfassung hat er dem Umstand zu verdanken, dass sein von ihm so über alles geliebte Herrchen schon etwas dement war und immer vergaß, seinen besten Freund zu füttern oder ihn abends wieder reinzulassen, wenn Perceo von einsamen Streifzügen durch die Nachbarschaft zurückkehrte. Jetzt ist Perceos Halter gestorben, und die Familie seines Besitzers hat keine Lust, sich um den freundlichen Rüden zu kümmern – und so musste unser energiegeladener Neuzugang eben ins Tierheim umsiedeln. Perceo wird von den Tierschützern als besonderer Hund beschrieben, der sehr enge Bindungen mit den Menschen eingeht. Das kleine Kohlestückchen zeigt sich kontaktfreudig mit anderen Hunden und spielt gerne, aber Perceo kann auch prima damit leben, wenn es einmal ruhig zugeht und niemand sich um ihn kümmern kann. Dann liegt er zufrieden in seiner Lieblingsecke und beobachtet das rege Treiben im Auslauf. Perceo hatte kein schönes Heim, aber er war sein Leben lang treu und sicherlich oft der letzte Halt für seinen langjährigen Freund, von dem er Abschied nehmen musste. Perceo musste oft zurückstecken, jetzt wäre es schön, wenn die Reihe an ihm wäre, sich verwöhnen zu lassen Wir suchen für den lebensfrohen, dankbaren Mischling ein Zuhause, in dem er das Leben als Familienhund entdecken darf, mit langen Fernsehabenden auf der Couch mit Keksen und ausgiebigen Streicheleinheiten, Ausflügen auf die Hundewiese, gemütlichen Spaziergängen schönen Träumen in einem kuschelweichen Körbchen. Wenn Sie Perceo all das bieten können und wollen, freuen wir uns darauf, bald von Ihnen zu hören!

About Perceo

What life with Perceo looks like

Perceo 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 Perceo, answered.

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