Adopt Pollock

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Pollock is an extremely thin and clingy Podenco who finds himself in our partner shelter MI FIEL AMIGO for only one reason: he is not suitable for hunting. A hunter surrendered Pollock with the words that he wanted to get rid of him, having tried it but Pollock simply is not a hunting dog and goodbye. What a stroke of luck for our Podenco friends in Germany and beyond. And for those who still want to be. For Pollock brings with him all the desirable qualities one could wish for. And what a stroke of luck for Pollock, who now gets the chance of a lifetime. Podencos are active dogs. They need exercise and mental stimulation. Pollock is still young. Although he has left the turbulent puppyhood behind and the "adolescence" has long since passed, he still needs appropriate daily exertion. At home, Podis are quiet and unobtrusive. They love soft sleeping spots and are gifted bedders if allowed.

Pollock ist ein überaus verschmuster und anhänglicher Podenco, der sich nur aus einem einzigen Grund in unsere Partnertierheim MI FIEL AMIGO befindet: Er taugt nicht zur Jagd. Ein Jäger übergab Pollock mit den Worten, er wolle ihn loswerden, er habe es mit ihm probiert, aber er sei nun mal kein Jagdhund und Tschüss. Welch ein Glück für unsere Podencofreunde in Deutschland und anderswo. Und für alle, die es noch werden wollen. Denn Pollock bringt alle guten Voraussetzungen mit, die man sich nur wünschen kann. Und welch ein Glück für Pollock, dem sich nun die Chance seines Lebens bietet. Podencos sind aktive Hunde. Sie brauchen Bewegung und was fürs Köpfchen. Pollock ist noch jung. Zwar hat er das turbulente Welpenalter hinter sich gelassen und auch das „Pubertier“ ist längst ausgezogen, doch er benötigt angemessene Auslastung im Alltag. Im Haus verhalten sich Podis ruhig und unauffällig. Sie lieben weiche Schlafplätze und sind begnadete Bettschläfer, wenn es erlaubt sein sollte.

About Pollock

What life with Pollock looks like

Pollock is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

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 Pollock, answered.

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