Taco

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Puppy · 4 months

Taco and Trufa wandered across the fields near Seville, with three months (as of 04/2022) too small and inexperienced to survive on their own. The sibling pair tried to get help from the people living on the farms, but they only found closed doors and shouting. Where they managed to sneak into the house, they were immediately kicked out. Tacos and Trufas search was long, but in the end, a kind woman took care of the two puppy children. Trufa and Taco were allowed to stay in her patio, received a blanket, water, food, and the rescuer also informed our friends from Arca about their new friends. Since Trufa and Taco were too young to go to the animal shelter, where unvaccinated puppies often face death, our partners quickly looked for a loving foster family for the two cuteness overloads. Meanwhile, the eyes and fur of the two handsome snuggleships shine, and their unstoppable playfulness brings a big smile to every observer's face. No roommate, no animal, no shoe, no toy is safe from the dynamic duo, and if no one has time or desire to play, then it's a great luck that they have a sibling who is always ready to join in every mischief. Taco and Trufa are very smart and cheerful young dogs who are looking for a humorous and active home. Sporty, fun people who are looking for a (or even two?) fun companions for all life situations are surely at an excellent address with our licorice noses!

Taco und Trufa irrten über die die Felder vor Sevilla, mit drei Monaten (Stand 04/2022) viel zu klein und unerfahren, um allein überleben zu können. Das Geschwisterpaar versuchte Hilfe bei den Menschen zu bekommen, die auf den Höfen leben, aber sie fanden erst einmal nur verschlossene Türen und Geschrei. Da, wo sie es schafften, sich bis ins Haus zu schleichen, folgte der Rauswurf gestreckten Fußes. Tacos und Trufas Suche war lang, aber am Ende stand eine tierliebe Frau, die sich der beiden Hundekinder annahm. Trufa und Taco durften in ihrem Patio bleiben, bekamen eine Decke, Wasser, Futter, und die Retterin informierte auch unsere Freunde von der Arca über ihre neuen Freunde. Da Trufa und Taco viel zu jung waren, um ins Tierheim zu ziehen, wo für ungeimpfte Welpen oft der Tod wartet, suchten unsere Partner in rekordverdächtiger Geschwindigkeit eine liebevolle Pflegefamilie für die beiden Cuteness Overloads. Inzwischen glänzen Augen und Fell der zwei hübschen Knutschkugeln und ihr unbändiger Spieltrieb treibt jedem Beobachter ein breites Grinsen ins Gesicht. Kein Mitbewohner, kein Tier, kein Schuh, kein Spielzeug ist vor dem dynamischen Duo sicher, und wenn gerade niemand Zeit oder Lust hat, um zu toben, nun, dann ist es ein großes Glück, dass man ja ein Geschwisterchen hat, das auf jeden Fall immer bereit ist, jede Dummheit mitzumachen. Taco und Trufa sind sehr aufgeweckte und fröhliche Junghunde, die ein humorvolles und aktives Zuhause suchen. Sportliche, lustige Menschen, die einen (oder sogar zwei?) lustige Begleiter für alle Lebenslagen suchen, sind mit unseren Lakritznäschen sicher an einer hervorragenden Adresse gelandet!

About Taco

What life with Taco looks like

Taco is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Taco, answered.

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