Perico

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Perico and Lisa share the same fate: both were in the old Perrera. Laura, who organizes our animal transports and lovingly cares for the dogs in the Perrera, did everything she could to find a family. Despite all her efforts, the search was unsuccessful. To give the two a future, Laura asked us for help. Although Perico's chances of placement in the Refugio are not outstanding, he at least has a real chance here - and so Perico and Lisa were allowed to move into our Refugio together. Perico shows himself to be an exceptionally loving and affectionate dog with a great character. He gets along well with female dogs; how he reacts to male dogs, we have not yet tested. In Refugio life, he currently shows his calm side and does not let himself be disturbed or provoked to bark even when other dogs run by in the hallway. Optically, it can be assumed that a herding dog is hidden in him. His future owners should ideally deal with the special features of these breeds and enjoy accompanying Perico according to his possible genetic predisposition. We sincerely hope that this move is the first step into a new life and that Perico finally gets the chance he so deserves: a loving home forever.

Andújar, den 09. 08. 2026 Perico teilte dasselbe Schicksal wie Lisa: Beide saßen in der alten Perrera. Laura, die unsere Tiertransporte organisiert und sich liebevoll um die Hunde in der Perrera gekümmert hat, setzte alles daran, eine Familie zu finden. Doch trotz all ihrer Bemühungen blieb die Suche ohne Erfolg. Um den beiden überhaupt eine Zukunft zu ermöglichen, bat Laura uns um Hilfe. Auch wenn Pericos Vermittlungschancen im Refugio keineswegs herausragend sind, hat er hier zumindest eine echte Chance – und so durften Perico und Lisa gemeinsam in unser Refugio umziehen. Perico zeigt sich bei uns als ausgesprochen lieber und anhänglicher Hund mit einem tollen Charakter. Mit Hündinnen versteht er sich hervorragend; wie er auf Rüden reagiert, haben wir bislang noch nicht getestet. Im Refugioalltag zeigt er sich aktuell von seiner ruhigen Seite und lässt sich selbst dann nicht aus der Ruhe bringen oder zum Bellen verleiten, wenn andere Hunde im Gang vorbeilaufen. Optisch lässt sich vermuten, dass ein Herdenschutzhund in ihm steckt. Seine zukünftigen Menschen sollten sich daher idealerweise mit den Besonderheiten dieser Rassen auseinandersetzen und Freude daran haben, Perico entsprechend seiner möglichen genetischen Veranlagung zu begleiten. Wir hoffen von Herzen, dass dieser Umzug der erste Schritt in ein neues Leben ist und Perico nun endlich die Chance bekommt, die er so sehr verdient: ein liebevolles Zuhause für immer. Angela und Jochen Happe haben eine Patenschaft für Perico übernommen :o) Vielen lieben Dank dafür!

About Perico

What life with Perico looks like

Perico is an extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vergessene Pfoten e.V. in Wangelau.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Perico, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Perico?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Vergessene Pfoten e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Perico on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Perico if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Vergessene Pfoten 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Perico 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 Perico 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 Vergessene Pfoten e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Perico 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.
