Smith

Podenco · Male · Adult · 5 years

Residence: 34393 Grebenstein (Hesse) Hello, I am Smith, a Podenco. Cuddly, sensitive, friendly like Podencos are. My foster mom says I am now ready for my own home. I was born on 10.01.2021 and am approximately 50 cm tall. What can be said about me? I enjoy going for walks, love being with my person, and simply want to be liked. At first, I am a bit shy, but that lies in the genes of my breed. I would be happy to have people who still want to teach me the basics of being a dog and go through thick and thin with me. Should you now have an interest in this treasure, please write or call me on WhatsApp.

Aufenthaltsort: 34393 Grebenstein (Hessen) Hallo, ich bin Smith, ein Podenco. Verschmust, sensibel, freundlich wie Podencos eben sind. Mein Pflegefrauchen sagt, dass ich jetzt bereit für mein eigenes Zuhause bin. Geboren bin ich am 10.01.2021 und bin ca. 50 cm groß. Was gibt es zu mir zu sagen. Ich gehe gerne spazieren, liebe es bei meinem Menschen zu sein und möchte einfach nur gefallen. Am Anfang bin ich etwas schüchtern, aber das liegt in den Genen meiner Rasse. Ich würde mich über Menschen freuen, die mir noch etwas das Hunde 1×1 beibringen und auch mit mir durch dick und dünn gehen. Solltet ihr jetzt Interesse an dem Schatz haben, bitte auf WhatsApp anschreiben oder einfach anrufen.

About Smith

What life with Smith looks like

Smith is a large adult podenco dog waiting at Tierleben Deutschland e.V. in Landau in der Pfalz.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Smith, answered.

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