Sky

Podenco · Male · Adult · 4 years

Story: Sky was tied up at the gate of the animal shelter in early April, in pouring rain, and has been living at the APAC shelter in Portugal ever since. Behavior: Sky is an exceptionally friendly and lively dog who is interested in everything and everyone. His personality is just as funny as his appearance, and he constantly draws attention to himself and absolutely does not want to be overlooked at the shelter. This will quickly settle down in his own family once his prayers for finally having a family of his own have been answered. He is simply very people-oriented and overjoyed when he is seen and allowed to take part. He then tries to play the clown and offers everything he already knows how to do. Definitely a dog you can laugh a lot with. He also shows that he is very lively and will need appropriate exercise for both body and mind once he has settled in. The right balance of calm and action must be found here, as well as the right amount of mental and physical stimulation. Children should be somewhat older and calmer so that they do not wind each other up; whether he gets along with cat-experienced cats could be tested if needed. He walks nicely on the leash once his initial stress has worn off, enjoys going for walks, and attentively and curiously explores everything there is to discover. Because of his attachment, he needs to practice being alone for a few hours at a time, which should be done very slowly and in small steps. Currently Sky shares a space with Mimi (also in the

Geschichte: Sky wurde Anfang April bei strömendem Regen am Tor des Tierheims angebunden und lebt seitdem im Tierheim von APAC in Portugal. Verhalten: Sky ist ein ausgesprochen freundlicher und aufgeweckter Hund, der sich für alles und jeden interessiert. Er ist auch vom Charakter so lustig, wie er auch optisch aussieht und macht ständig auf sich aufmerksam und will auf keinen Fall übersehen werden im Tierheim. Das wird sich in der eigenen Familie schnell legen, wenn seine Gebete, endlich eine eigene Familie zu haben, erhört wurden. Er ist einfach sehr menschenbezogen und überglücklich, wenn er gesehen wird und dabei sein darf. Er versucht dann den Clown zu machen und alles anzubieten was er schon kann. Definitiv ein Hund mit dem man viel lachen kann. Er zeigt aber auch, dass er sehr lebhaft ist und diesbezüglich entsprechend ausgelastet werden muss, wenn er dann mal angekommen ist. Hier muss nicht nur das richtige Maß an Ruhe und Action gefunden werden, sondern auch das richtige Maß an geistiger und körperlicher Auslastung. Kinder sollten schon älter und ruhiger sein, damit sie sich nicht gegenseitig hochschaukeln, ob er sich mit hundeerfahrenen Katzen versteht, könnte bei Bedarf getestet werden. Er läuft schön an der Leine, wenn er seinen Anfangsstress abgelaufen hat, und geht gerne spazieren und untersucht aufmerksam und neugierig alles was es so zu entdecken gibt. Aufgrund seiner Anhänglichkeit muss er das stundenweise alleine bleiben, sicherlich sehr langsam und kleinschrittig üben. Zur Zeit teilt sich Sky mit Mimi (auch in der

About Sky

What life with Sky looks like

Sky is a medium-sized adult podenco dog waiting at Tiersinfonie Anou 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sky, answered.

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