Scooby

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Scooby is a young, somewhat excited and restless Podenco male who is above all super loving, friendly and affectionate. He loves people above all and jumps joyfully towards them when you come to his kennel. He puts his paws around your legs and begs for treats, petting and attention. He lets himself be touched without problems, likes to snuggle close to his humans and even climbs onto their lap. He is absolutely compatible with other dogs, whether male or female, and loves to play in the open run with his dog buddies. He greets strange dogs curiously and with a wagging tail. He also greets people stormily and likes to be stroked by them. Putting on the harness is still a bit difficult because he is still quite restless, which needs to be practiced with him. He pulls on the leash at first, but then quickly becomes calmer, which also needs to be practiced. Sometimes he gently takes the hand between his teeth during play - not firmly, which he should be discouraged from. He has a not yet very pronounced hunting instinct, which can still be strengthened, which is typical for this breed, although special attention should be paid to this in rural areas. Scooby is looking for a home with people who have a lot of time for him and where he gets enough attention. He needs a lot of closeness. He also needs to practice being alone, which must be slowly trained step by step. A confident first dog would be a dream for Scooby, which is not an absolute must. He would also be happy as a single prince with the right people who also mentally exhaust and occupy him. With people who work with him and train him to calm down.

Größe: 63cmAlter: *12/2024. Verträglich mitRüden: JaHündinnen: JaKatzen: noch nicht getestet Bei uns seit: 26.07.2026Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim ANAA September 2026 – Scooby ist ein junger, noch etwas aufgeregter und unruhiger Podenco Rüde, der vor allem aber super lieb, freundlich und verschmust ist. Er liebt Menschen über alles und springt ihnen freudig entgegen, wenn man zu ihm in den Zwinger kommt. Er legt seine Pfoten um die Beine und bettelt um Leckerlis, Streicheleinheiten und um Aufmerksamkeit. Er lässt sich ohne Probleme anfassen, kuschelt sich gerne ganz nah an seine Menschen und klettert sogar auf den Schoß. Mit anderen Hunden ist er absolut verträglich, egal ob Rüde oder Hündin und spielt am liebsten im Freilauf mit seinen Hundekumpels. Fremde Hunde begrüßt er neugierig und mit wedelndem Schwanz. Auch Menschen begrüßt er stürmisch und lässt sich gerne von Ihnen kraulen. Das Anlegen des Geschirrs ist noch etwas schwierig, da er noch ziemlich zappelig ist, das muss mit ihm noch geübt werden. An der Leine zieht er anfangs, wird aber dann schnell ruhiger, auch das muss noch geübt werden. Manchmal nimmt er im Spiel vorsichtig die Hand zwischen seine Zähne – nicht fest, was man ihm aber abgewöhnen sollte. Er hat einen noch nicht sehr ausgeprägtem Jagdtrieb, was sich aber noch festigen kann, was typisch für diese Rasse ist, wobei besonders in ländlichen Gebieten darauf geachtet werden sollte. Scooby sucht ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die viel Zeit für ihn haben und wo er genügend Zuwendung bekommt. Er braucht ganz viel Nähe. Auch das alleine bleiben muss er noch üben, was man langsam Schritt für Schritt trainieren muss. Ein souveräner Ersthund wäre ein Traum für Scooby, was aber kein absolutes Muss ist. Er wäre auch als Einzelprinz bei den richtigen Menschen, die ihn auch geistig auslasten und beschäftigen, glücklich. Bei Menschen, die mit ihm arbeiten und mit ihm trainieren zur Ruhe zu kommen.

About Scooby

What life with Scooby looks like

Scooby is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tiere in Spanien e.V. in Hamburg.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Scooby, answered.

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