Pongo

Male · Puppy · 6 months

Cheerful, active Dalmatian mix, approx. 5 months old, good with other dogs Pongo was born in April 2026 and is a lively, playful young male full of joy for life. He is an active little fellow who is eager to explore the world and is looking for people who take just as much pleasure in going through life together with him. Pongo is friendly and sociable with other dogs. An existing dog is therefore welcome to be part of his new home, provided the chemistry is right. At around 50 cm at the shoulder, Pongo is already a sturdy young dog, while plenty of puppy and adolescent energy is still very much part of him. Pongo wants to be kept busy and is therefore looking for people who enjoy having an active dog and are willing to provide the necessary occupation. Extended walks, shared activities and training should be part of his everyday life. A life where he simply "tags along" would probably not do justice to his temperament. Pongo is still at the very beginning of his basic training. His new people should show him, patiently and with loving consistency, what belongs to everyday life as a family dog. Basic commands, loose-leash walking, house training and everything else he needs to know for a relaxed life with a dog are things he would like to learn together with his people. A good dog school should, of course, be part of the shared path. We wish for Pongo active and responsible people who know that a young dog needs time, patience, training and, of course, plenty of shared activity. If you are looking for an active companion for many adventures together, you may find exactly the right dog in Pongo. Pongo is of course vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, veterinary-checked and has an EU pet passport. If you have fallen in love with Pongo and would like to give this cheerful young male a loving home, feel free to contact us via WhatsApp: ❤️ or send us your well-considered inquiry. Origin: Slovakia.

Fröhlicher, aktiver Dalmatiner-Mix, ca. 5Mon., verträglich Pongo wurde im April 2026 geboren und ist ein aufgeweckter, verspielter junger Rüde, der voller Lebensfreude steckt. Er ist ein aktiver kleiner Kerl, der neugierig die Welt entdecken möchte und Menschen sucht, die genauso viel Freude daran haben, gemeinsam mit ihm durchs Leben zu gehen. Pongo zeigt sich freundlich und verträglich mit anderen Hunden. Ein vorhandener Hund darf daher gerne Teil seines neuen Zuhauses sein, sofern die Chemie stimmt. Mit seinen etwa 50 cm Schulterhöhe ist Pongo bereits ein stattlicher junger Hund, gleichzeitig steckt natürlich noch jede Menge Welpen- und Junghundleben in ihm. Pongo möchte ausgelastet werden und sucht deshalb Menschen, die Freude an einem aktiven Hund haben und bereit sind, ihm die nötige Beschäftigung zu bieten. Ausgedehnte Spaziergänge, gemeinsame Aktivitäten und Training sollten zu seinem zukünftigen Alltag gehören. Ein Leben, in dem er einfach nur „mitläuft“, würde seinem Temperament vermutlich nicht gerecht werden. Das Hunde-ABC steht für Pongo noch am Anfang. Seine neuen Menschen sollten ihm geduldig und mit liebevoller Konsequenz zeigen, was zum Alltag als Familienhund dazugehört. Grundkommandos, Leinenführigkeit, Stubenreinheit und alles, was er für ein entspanntes Hundeleben wissen muss, möchte er gemeinsam mit seinen Menschen lernen. Eine gute Hundeschule sollte dabei selbstverständlich zum gemeinsamen Weg gehören. Wir wünschen uns für Pongo aktive und verantwortungsbewusste Menschen, die wissen, dass ein junger Hund Zeit, Geduld, Erziehung und natürlich ganz viel gemeinsame Beschäftigung braucht. Wer einen aktiven Begleiter für viele gemeinsame Abenteuer sucht, könnte in Pongo genau den richtigen Hund finden. Pongo ist selbstverständlich geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, tierärztlich untersucht und besitzt einen EU-Tierpass. Wenn du dich in Pongo verliebt hast und dem fröhlichen jungen Rüden ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchtest, melde dich gerne per WhatsApp: ❤️ oder schick uns deine aussagekräftige Anfrage via Herkunft: Slowakei.

About Pongo

What life with Pongo looks like

Pongo is a medium-sized puppy dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Südkreta e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pongo, answered.

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