Pinki

Mixed Breed · Male

Pinki is one of many dogs who are simply abandoned. Perhaps he was no longer needed at the end of the hunting season. He was found in a village near Badajoz. Currently, Pinki is in a foster home where he lives on a property with other dogs. He gets along well with his fellow animals and even with cats. When Pinki meets unfamiliar people, he can be a bit shy at first. But once he knows them, he is a wonderful dog: cuddly, funny, and very playful. With him, it will definitely not be boring! Pinki has not yet experienced life in a home, but he will learn everything. His new family should simply be ready to teach him everything that goes into a normal dog life. Unfortunately, it is often said that Podencos are difficult dogs. But that is not true at all! One just has to accept the fact that they are hunting dogs. Whether or not we can later let Pinki off the leash is something we cannot say in advance. Podencos are dogs that like to be kept busy by using their excellent sense of smell.

Pinki ist einer von den vielen Hunden, die einfach ausgesetzt werden. Vielleicht war er jetzt am Ende der Jagdsaison überflüssig geworden. Er wurde in einem Dorf nahe Badajoz gefunden. Derzeit ist Pinki in einer Pflegestelle, wo er mit anderen Hunden zusammen auf einem Grundstück lebt. Mit seinen Artgenossen versteht sich der Rüde sehr gut und auch mit Katzen kommt er aus. Wenn Pinki fremden Menschen begegnet, ist er am Anfang noch etwas schüchtern. Aber wenn er die Leute kennt, ist er ein wunderbarer Hund: verschmust, lustig und sehr verspielt. Mit ihm wird es bestimmt nicht langweilig! Das Leben in einer Wohnung kennt Pinki noch nicht, aber er wird das alles lernen. Seine neue Familie sollte einfach bereit sein, ihm alles beizubringen, was zu einem normalen Hundeleben dazu gehört. Leider heißt es immer wieder, dass Podencos schwierige Hunde seien. Aber das stimmt überhaupt nicht! Man muss sich einfach nur auf die Tatsache einstellen, dass es halt Jagdhunde sind. Ob man Pinki später von der Leine lassen kann, können wir im Vorfeld nicht sagen. Podencos sind Hunde, die gerne beschäftigt werden, indem sie ihren vorzüglichen Geruchssinn nutzen können. Für Pinki wünschen wir uns des

About Pinki

What life with Pinki looks like

Pinki is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

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 Pinki, answered.

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