Rubio2

Podenco · Male

Rubio2 is a Podenco mix who was found on the street and brought to the shelter. He was very exhausted and hungry at the time, and his condition clearly showed how difficult his time must have been before. At the shelter, he was able to rest, get food, and recover. Since then, Rubio has shown himself to be a consistently friendly and uncomplicated dog. When you sit down and pet him, something wonderful happens. Rubio simply lets himself go, as if to say, "Please don't stop, I've missed this for so long." He enjoys every touch to the fullest, seeking human closeness without being intrusive. He gets along wonderfully with the other dogs in the shelter. Rubio is friendly, social, and calm. The small, delicate four-legged friend brings a very special warmth. We wish Rubio a rather cozy home with people who can give him the necessary time, care, attention, and affection. He is not a demanding dog, but one who values the closeness to warm-hearted people and actively seeks it. Rubio will freeze in the unheated kennels in the winter, he has little fur and no undercoat, which is something we would like to spare him. Who has a warm bed for the older furry face?

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: Rubio2 ist ein Podenco-Mischling, der auf der Straße gefunden und ins Refugio gebracht wurde. Er war zu diesem Zeitpunkt sehr erschöpft und hungrig, sein Zustand zeigte deutlich, wie entbehrungsreich die Zeit zuvor für ihn gewesen sein muss. Im Refugio kam er erst einmal zur Ruhe, bekam Futter und konnte sich erholen. Seitdem zeigt sich Rubio als ein durchweg freundlicher und unkomplizierter Hund. Wenn man sich zu ihm setzt und ihn streichelt, passiert etwas Wunderschönes. Rubio lässt sich einfach fallen, als würde er sagen: „Bitte hör nicht auf, genau das habe ich so lange vermisst.“ Er genießt jede Berührung in vollen Zügen, sucht die menschliche Nähe, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Mit den anderen Hunden im Refugio versteht er sich wunderbar. Rubio ist freundlich, sozial und ruhig. Der kleine, zarte Vierbeiner bringt eine ganz besondere Wärme mit. Für Rubio wünschen wir uns ein eher gemütliches Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihm die nötige Zeit, Fürsorge, Aufmerksamkeit und Zuwendung schenken können. Er ist kein anspruchsvoller Hund, aber einer, der die Nähe zu warmherzigen Menschen sehr schätzt und diese auch aktiv sucht. Rubio wird in den nicht beheizten Zwingern im Winter frieren, er hat kaum Fell und keine Unterwolle, das möchten wir ihm so gerne ersparen. Wer hat ein warmes Körbchen für die ältere Fellnase frei?

About Rubio2

What life with Rubio2 looks like

Rubio2 is a adult podenco dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen 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 Rubio2, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rubio2?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierischgeholfen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rubio2 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rubio2 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierischgeholfen 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 Rubio2 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 Rubio2 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 Tierischgeholfen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rubio2 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.
