How do I contact the shelter about Perico?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Helfende Hände 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 — Helfende Hände 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 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 Helfende Hände 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Adopt Perico

Podenco · Male

Perico ID No.: 1039482 Breed: Podenco Andaluz Age: approx. 06/2024 Sex: male Shoulder height: approx. 46 cm Neutered: Yes Location: Marbella (Spain) Inquiry form Perico (*06/2024, approx. 47 cm) is a cheerful Podenco mix with adorable floppy ears. Perico and Philippe were rescued together from the streets by our rescue team. For about three weeks, they survived completely on their own until we finally managed to bring them to safety. Even during that time, both showed their playful and open personalities, although they still wouldn’t allow themselves to be touched. After arriving at the animal shelter, they adapted to their new routine surprisingly quickly. Currently, Perico and Philippe live in a mixed dog group with male dogs and female dogs. Other dogs are absolutely everything to them: they adore contact with fellow animals above all else, are highly social, playful, and open. Therefore, we hope to find each of them a home where at least one confident, adult, and playful dog already lives—one who can provide them with security and accompany them through life. The two brothers can also be rehomed separately—what matters most is that each has a fellow animal present. Toward humans, Perico and Philippe are still somewhat shy, likely due to their difficult start in life. Perico is noticeably more approachable: he needs a moment to build trust, but then cautiously comes closer and thoroughly enjoys cuddles. New environments still make him uneasy, as he is a sensitive male dog, yet with calmness and patience, he will continue to develop well. Both male dogs are very energetic and love running and playing. A securely fenced garden would therefore be a dream come true for them. We are searching for a special home for Perico and Philippe: patient people experienced with insecure dogs, who are willing to work calmly and gradually, give them time, and provide a relaxed, low-stimulus environment where they feel safe. Anyone who meets these special boys with heart, understanding, and patience will be rewarded with two wonderful, affectionate companions. Perico holds an EU pet passport and is, of course, microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, tested for Mediterranean diseases, dewormed, and treated for fleas for travel arrangements. Vaccinations: Yes Mediterranean disease check: Yes Microchip: Yes Known illnesses: None Not suitable as a guard dog No transport included Contact person Ruth Bachhausen Tel: Email:

Perico ID-Nr: 1052132 Rasse: Podenco Andaluz Alter: ca. 06/2024 Geschlecht: männlich Schulterhöhe: ca. 46cm Kastriert/Sterilisiert: Ja Aufenthalt / Ort: Marbella (Spanien) Anfrageformular Perico – der sanfte Knickohr sucht sein Zuhause Perico (*ca. 06/2024, ca. 46cm) ist ein fröhlicher Podencomischling mit lustigen Knickohren. Perico und Philippe wurden gemeinsam von unserem Rettungsteam von der Straße gerettet. Etwa drei Wochen lang lebten sie dort auf sich allein gestellt, bis es uns schließlich gelang, sie in Sicherheit zu bringen. Schon in dieser Zeit zeigten beide ihr verspieltes und offenes Wesen, auch wenn sie sich noch nicht anfassen ließen. Nach ihrer Ankunft in unserem Tierheim Triple A in Marbella haben sie sich überraschend schnell an den neuen Alltag angepasst. Aktuell leben Perico und Philippe in einer gemischten Hundegruppe mit Rüden und Hündinnen. Andere Hunde sind für beide das Allerwichtigste: Sie lieben den Kontakt zu Artgenossen über alles, sind sehr sozial, verspielt und offen. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für jeden von ihnen ein Zuhause, in dem bereits mindestens ein souveräner, erwachsener und verspielter Hund lebt, der ihnen Sicherheit gibt und mit ihnen durchs Leben geht. Die beiden Brüder können auch getrennt vermittelt werden – entscheidend ist lediglich, dass jeweils ein Artgenosse vorhanden ist. Menschen gegenüber sind Perico und Philippe derzeit noch etwas schüchtern, was vermutlich mit ihrem nicht ganz einfachen Start ins Leben zusammenhängt. Perico zeigt sich dabei deutlich zugänglicher: Er braucht einen Moment, um Vertrauen zu fassen, kommt dann aber vorsichtig näher und genießt Streicheleinheiten sehr. Neue Umgebungen machen ihn noch unsicher, doch mit Ruhe und Geduld wird er sich weiter gut entwickeln. Beide Rüden sind sehr bewegungsfreudig und lieben es zu rennen und zu spielen. Ein eingezäunter Garten wäre daher ein großer Traum für sie. Wir suchen für Perico und Philippe ein besonderes Zuhause: geduldige Menschen mit Erfahrung im Umgang mit unsicheren Hunden, die bereit sind, ruhig und kleinschrittig zu arbeiten, ihnen Zeit zu geben und ihnen in einem entspannten, reizarmen Umfeld Sicherheit zu geben. Wer diesen besonderen Jungs mit Herz, Verständnis und Geduld begegnet, wird mit zwei wunderbaren, liebevollen Begleitern belohnt werden. Die Brüder können auch gemeinsam vermittelt werden. Perico besitzt einen EU-Heimtierausweis und ist bei Ausreise selbstverständlich gechipt, geimpft, kastriert, auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet sowie entwurmt und entfloht. Impfungen Ja Mittelmeercheck Ja Microchip Ja Krankheiten keine bekannt Handicap nein Anlagehund Nein Schutzgebühr 500 € inkl. Transport Ansprechpartner Ruth Bachhausen Tel: Email: Anfrageformular

About Perico

What life with Perico looks like

Perico is a large adult podenco dog waiting at Helfende Hände e.V. in Germany.

An 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 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.
