Adopt Rayo

Podenco · Male · Young · 2 years

Origin: Ubeda (Andalusia) Location: Ubeda (Andalusia) Size / Weight: approx. 50 cm at the shoulder, 13 kg Additional: neutered, microchipped with EU passport, vaccinated and tested for Mediterranean diseases Character: friendly, calm, gentle, a bit reserved, observes everything from a distance first, loves other dogs, independent New home: preferably with a second dog, empathy, loving and consistent training, rural environment (not a big city), with a fenced garden, quiet home without hustle and bustle, no small children Adoption fee: 450 euros including transport costs to Germany Hello, I am Rayo (born 24.9.2024) and I am a beautiful young Podenco boy. I was so happy when I was finally allowed to leave my kennel and go out onto the grass, but that was quickly over again - just a few photos and a short video, then freedom was gone and I was back in the kennel. Now I am waiting for a new family, because I would like to have a soft bed for the first time in my life and someone who loves me unconditionally. I was simply dumped by my previous owner and if it hadn't been for the kind animal welfare workers who took me in, something really bad might have happened to me. Now I am sitting here waiting for someone to discover my great pictures and say: "Yes, exactly, I want to take Rayo into my family, love and cherish him in good times and bad times, until death do us part." Could you imagine making such a promise with me? From my side, it's already: "I do." I imagine my dream home as a place with lots of nature, not in the city, and a fenced garden would be really great. My dream would be a quiet home without much noise, where I can settle in peace and look at everything without stress or great expectations. I am a bit reserved at first and need some time to get used to my new people. It's just because I never had people who loved me and I don't know that well yet. I would also be happy about a nice dog friend in the new home, then I could play and cuddle. Maybe my sister Tana could also move in? Of course, it's not a condition, just an idea from me. Despite my bad past, I am a kind, calm and relaxed dog. I'm not sure if I get along with cats, this would have to be tested before adoption. Since I have to learn everything, potty training and being alone for example, my new owner would have to bring a lot of time for me to show me everything. At least at first, there should always be someone at home with me who is full of love and patience, because I haven't seen much of the world in the past. I'd rather not talk about my past right now, it wasn't nice and I'm really glad I'm out of there, even though the kennel here isn't great, I do have my food and the caretakers are nice to me. Unfortunately, they don't have much time to play or cuddle, they barely keep up with taking care of me and my friends. I'm sure that once I have my own family, I will soon come out of myself and open up to my people. So if you're already infatuated, please contact my adopter quickly and then I could soon travel to Bavaria.

Guten Tag ich bin der Rayo (geb. 24.9.2024) und ich bin ein wunderschöner junger Podenco-Junge. Ich war so froh, als ich meinen Zwinger verlassen durfte und es raus auf die Wiese ging, aber das war auch ganz schnell wieder vorbei - nur ein paar Fotos und ein kurzes Video, dann war es aus mit der Freiheit und es ging zurück in den Zwinger. Nun warte ich also auf eine neue Familie, denn ich hätte so gerne zum ersten mal im Leben ein weiches Bettchen und jemanden, der mich bedingungslos liebt.Ich wurde von meinem ehemaligen Besitzer einfach vor die Tür gesetzt und wenn mich nicht die netten Tierschützer aufgenommen hätten, wäre mir vielleicht was ganz Schlimmes passiert. Nun sitze ich also hier und warte darauf, dass jemand meine tollen Bilder entdeckt und sagt: "Ja genau, den Rayo will ich in meine Familie aufnehmen, ihn lieben und ehren in guten wie in schlechten Zeiten, bis dass der Tod uns scheidet." Könnten Sie sich vorstellen, mit mir zusammen so ein Gelöbnis abzuschliessen? Also von meiner Seite heisst es schon mal: "Ich will".Ich würde mir als Traumzuhause einen Platz vorstellen, wo es viel Natur gibt, nicht gerade in der Stadt, auch ein eingezäunter Garten wäre wirklich super. Mein Traum wäre ein ruhiges Zuhause ohne viel Trubel, wo ich erst mal in Ruhe ankommen kann und mir alles anschauen kann ohne Stress oder grosse Erwartungen an mich. Ich bin am Anfang etwas zurückhaltend und brauche eine gewisse Zeit, bis ich mich an meine neuen Menschen binde. Das liegt einfach daran, dass ich nie Menschen hatte, die mich geliebt haben und ich kenne das einfach noch nicht so gut.Ich würde mich auch über einen netten Hundekumpel im neuen Zuhause freuen, dann könnte ich spielen und kuscheln. Vielleicht darf ja meine Schwester Tana auch gleich mit einziehen? Ist natürlich keine Bedingung, war nur so eine Idee von mir. Ich bin trotz meiner schlechten Vergangenheit ein lieber ruhiger gelassener Hund. Ob ich mich jetzt mich Katzen vertrage, bin ich mir nicht ganz so sicher, das müsste vor einer Adoption getestet werden.Da ich erst alles lernen muss, Stubenreinheit und Alleine bleiben zum Beispiel, müsste mein neuer Besitzer erst mal viel Zeit für mich mitbringen, um mir alles zu zeigen. Zumindest am Anfang sollte also immer jemand bei mir zu Hause sein, der mit viel Liebe und Geduld ausgestattet ist, denn ich habe ja in der Vergangenheit nicht viel von der Welt gesehen.Über meine Vergangenheit möchte ich jetzt lieber nicht sprechen, sie war nicht schön und ich bin echt froh, dass ich dort weg bin, auch wenn der Zwinger hier wirklich nicht toll ist, habe ich doch mein Futter und die Pfleger sind auch nett zu mir. Leider haben sie nur wenig Zeit zum spielen oder schmusen, sie kommen ja kaum mit der Versorgung von mir und meinen Kumpels nach. Ich bin mir sicher, wenn ich erst meine eigene Familie habe, dann werde ich bald aus mir herauskommen und mich meinen Menschen öffnen.Also wenn Sie jetzt schockverliebt sind, dann kontaktieren Sie doch bitte schnell meine Vermittlerin und dann könnte ich bald nach Bayern reisen..Die

About Rayo

What life with Rayo looks like

Rayo is a young adult podenco dog waiting at Franz von Assisi Hundenothilfe e.V. (Hunde ohne Lobby) in Vilseck.

An young 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 Rayo, answered.

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