Tacha

Podenco · Female · Senior · 11 years

Tacha - magical, delicate Podenco Tacha is a very special, very sensitive and loving older dog. In everyday life, she is quiet, relaxed and incredibly affectionate. She loves to snuggle up, happily rubs against the legs of her beloved people and constantly seeks tender physical contact. Hands are carefully licked, hair curiously sniffed - closeness means a lot to her. People she does not know must win her heart. Once she has established trust, she bonds quickly. Tacha reliably responds when called, comes gladly for cuddling, preferably also into bed, and is very accessible. With the dogs at the foster home, she is completely trusting and kind. Tacha needs understanding, patient people who recognize and respect her delicate nature. She does not like hustle and bustle or loud noises. Tacha's pronounced hunting drive is part of her and must be accepted, because it reflects her origin and past. Sniffing, catching mice and digging bring her great joy. Nevertheless, she is obedient, follows the person well and walks nicely on a leash. The leash or slip lead will be necessary for her throughout her life; she can only be trained off-leash in secure, highly fenced or walled areas. Tacha can surprisingly climb very well and quickly. With training and growing trust, she can still learn a lot and continues to develop wonderfully, especially since she already knows life in the house. We can easily imagine Tacha with active people in their second half of life, who like to be outdoors and appreciate a friendly four-legged companion. For Tacha, we wish a quiet home with a perfectly secured garden. She would be very happy about existing dogs. Here is Tacha's video.

Tacha – zauberhafte, zarte Podenca Tacha ist eine ganz besondere, sehr sensible und liebe ältere Hündin. Im Alltag zeigt sie sich ruhig, entspannt und unglaublich anhänglich. Sie liebt es, sich anzuschmiegen, schubbert sich vergnügt an den Beinen ihrer Herzensmenschen und sucht immer wieder zärtlichen Körperkontakt. Hände werden vorsichtig abgeschleckt, Haare neugierig beschnuppert – Nähe bedeutet ihr sehr viel. Menschen, die sie nicht kennt, müssen ihr Herz erst erobern. Hat sie einmal Vertrauen gefasst, bindet sie sich schnell. Tacha reagiert zuverlässig wenn sie gerufen wird, kommt gerne zum Kuscheln, am liebsten auch ins Bett und ist sehr zugänglich. Mit den Hunden der Pflegestelle ist sie absolut vertrauensvoll und lieb. Tacha braucht einfühlsame, geduldige Menschen, die ihre feine Art erkennen und respektieren. Hektik und laute Geräusche mag sie nicht. Tachas ausgeprägter Jagdtrieb gehört zu ihr und den muss man akzeptieren können, denn er spiegelt ihre Herkunft und Vergangenheit. Schnuppern, Mäuse wittern und buddeln machen ihr große Freude. Dennoch ist sie gelehrig, orientiert sich gut am Menschen und läuft schön an der Leine. Die Leine oder auch Schleppleine wird sie sicher zeitlebens brauchen, ableinbar ist sie nur in sicher und sehr hoch eingezäuntem oder von Mauern umgebenem Gelände. Tacha kann erstaunlich gut und schnell klettern. Mit Training und wachsendem Vertrauen kann lernt sie aktuell auch in ihrem fortgeschrittenen Alter noch viel und entwickelt sich wunderbar weiter, zumal sie das Leben im Haus bereits kannte. Sehr gut können wir uns Tacha bei aktiven Menschen in der zweiten Lebenshälfte vorstellen, die gerne in der Natur unterwegs sind und sich über eine freundliche vierbeinige Begleiterin freuen. Für Tacha wünschen wir uns ein ruhig gelegenes Zuhause mit einem perfekt gesicherten Garten. Über bereits vorhandene Hunde würde sie sich sehr freuen. Hier gehts zu Tachas Video

About Tacha

What life with Tacha looks like

Tacha is a large senior podenco dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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 Tacha, answered.

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