Podenco Claudia &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female

My name is Claudia. I am female, microchipped, neutered, and was born around 2012. I am around 60cm tall. I have been waiting since the summer of 2018 for a new home. My caretakers say about me: Claudia came to us with a dog friend from a friend club, which is about 500km away in Germany, originally from Spain. Her friend found a home almost immediately, but Claudia is still searching. After a settling-in period, she is very gentle and clingy, but still maintains a safe distance. At our shelter, she has learned what walking means and enjoys the excursions into the nearby forest. Even the training of going on and off leash required a learning phase, which she now handles with the right body language of the person. She is anxious, but has not been aggressive in any situation with us; she can handle such moments and freezes. With trusted people, she now also enjoys cuddles. On the walk, she is hardly noticeable, she runs like a feather. She gets along well with other animals and enjoys it when playtime gets really intense. She lives in a smaller pack here, which is wonderfully harmonious. One eye is irreparably damaged, but it does not affect her.

Mein Name ist Claudia. Ich bin weiblich, gechipt , kastriert und circa 2012 geboren. Ich bin circa 60cm groß. Ich warte seit dem Sommer 2018 auf ein neues Zuhause. Das sagen meine Betreuer über mich: Claudia kam mit einer Hundefreundin aus einem befreundeten Verein zu uns, der gut 500 km weit weg in Deutschland liegt., ursprüglich stammt sie aus Spanien. Ihre Freundin hat fast postwendend ein Zuhause gefunden, Claudia hält noch Ausschau. Sie ist, nach einer Gewöhnungsphase sehr sanft und anhänglich, hält aber trotzdem einen Sicherheitsabstand. Bei uns hat sie gelernt, was spazieren so bedeutet und genießt die Ausflüge in den angrenzenden Wald. Auch das An und Ableinen erforderte eine Lernphase, die mit der richtigen Körpersprache des Menschen inzwischen kein Problem mehr für sie ist. Sie ist ängstlich, bei uns aber bisher in keiner Situation agressiv, sie erträgt solche Momente und erstarrt. Bei ihr vertrauten Menschen genießt sie inzwischen auch die Streicheleinheiten.Auf dem Spaziergang bemerkt man sie gar nicht, sie läuft wie eine Feder. Mit Artgenossen kommt sie prima zurecht und findet es toll, wenn dabei auch mal richtig Gas gegeben wird im Spiel. Bei uns lebt sie in einem kleineren Rudel, was wunderbar harmoniert. Ein Auge ist irreparabel geschädigt, was sie nicht beeinträchtigt. Vor

About Podenco Claudia &#8211

What life with Podenco Claudia &#8211 looks like

Podenco Claudia &#8211 is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

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 Podenco Claudia &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Podenco Claudia &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Podenco Claudia &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Podenco Claudia &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Schkortitz 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 Podenco Claudia &#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 Podenco Claudia &#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 Tierheim Schkortitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Podenco Claudia &#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.
