Turron

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Turron is a stunning, red-and-white Podenco male dog with exceptionally communicative standing ears and fascinating dark green eyes that seem to look straight into the soul of their counterpart. At around 2 years old and a shoulder height of 50 cm, Turron brings the perfect mix of youthful energy and pleasant size. His coat gleams in warm shades of red, with the white markings accentuating his elegant appearance – a true stunner for Podenco enthusiasts and all who wish to be one. Turron’s story sounds like something Hollywood couldn’t have staged better. Turron was rescued from certain death because he barked and cried with his last breath. The emaciated male dog was found in a pit next to an olive grove, which is used to dispose of waste. The wet slopes were slippery, and he had managed to get entangled in a trash bag, making it absolutely impossible for him to free himself. Fortunately, some workers heard his desperate barking and rappelled down to him. Turron was extremely grateful and climbed into the car with his rescuers without any problems to be brought to ArcoNatura, where he now patiently waits to find his own family. Turron is neutered, and the blood tests for leishmaniasis, ehrlichiosis, and other Mediterranean diseases were negative during his first check-up at the shelter – he is therefore healthy and ready to start a new life. The character of this friendly gentleman is pleasantly balanced: At first, he shows a bit of shyness, but once he has gained trust, he is very clingy and cuddly. In the animal shelter, Turron has discovered his enthusiasm for toys and looks forward to every minute he spends with the volunteers. He gets along well with other dogs and also with children. Whether he is compatible with cats, we do not know, but a test can be conducted on-site if interested. Turron currently lives in the animal shelter of ArcoNatura and longs for a permanent place in a family that will give him security and safety. His past has taught him to appreciate life – now he just needs a home where he can belong. If you want to give a brave, beautiful Podenco a new chapter, then get to know Turron. He is waiting to give his heart to you!

DE·Show original

Turron ist ein bildschöner, rot-weißer Podenco-Rüde mit äußerst kommunikativen Stehohren und faszinierenden dunkelgrünen Augen, die ihrem Gegenüber direkt in die Seele schauen. Mit etwa 2 Jahren und einer Schulterhöhe von 50 cm bringt Turron die perfekte Mischung aus jugendlicher Energie und angenehmer Größe mit. Sein Fell glänzt in warmen Rottönen, die weißen Abzeichen unterstreichen seine elegante Erscheinung – ein echter Hingucker für Podenco-Liebhaber und alle, die es werden wollen. Turrons Geschichte klingt wie eine Geschichte, die Hollywood nicht besser inszenieren könnte. Turron wurde vorm sicheren Tod gerettet, weil er mit letzter Kraft bellte und weinte. Der entkräftete Rüde wurde in einer Grube neben einem Olivenhain gefunden, die benutzt wird, um Abfälle zu entsorgen. Die nassen Abhänge waren rutschig, er hatte sich noch dazu in einem Müllsack verfangen und war absolut unfähig, sich selbst aus seiner misslichen Lage zu befreien. Zum Glück hörten einige Arbeiter sein verzweifeltes Bellen und seilten sich zu ihm ab. Turron war äußerst dankbar und stieg mit seinen Rettern auch ohne Probleme ins Auto, um sich in die ArcoNatura bringen zu lassen, wo er jetzt geduldig darauf warten kann, seine eigene Familie zu finden. Turron ist kastriert und die Blutuntersuchungen auf Leishmaniose, Ehrlichiose und andere Mittelmeerkrankheiten sind bei seinem ersten Checkup durch die Bank negativ ausgefallen – er ist also gesund und bereit für den Start in ein neues Leben. Der Charakter des freundlichen Gentlemans ist angenehm ausgeglichen: Anfangs zeigt er sich etwas schüchtern, doch sobald er Vertrauen gefasst hat, ist er sehr anhänglich und verschmust. Im Tierheim hat Turron seine Begeisterung für Spielzeuge entdeckt und freut sich über jede Minute, die er mit den Freiwilligen verbringen kann. Mit anderen Hunden versteht er sich problemlos und auch mit Kindern kommt er gut zurecht. Ob er mit Katzen kompatibel ist, wissen wir leider nicht, aber bei Interesse kann das vor Ort getestet werden. Turron lebt aktuell im Tierheim der ArcoNatura und sehnt sich nach einem festen Platz in einer Familie, die ihm Geborgenheit und Sicherheit schenkt. Seine Vergangenheit hat ihn gelehrt, das Leben zu schätzen – jetzt fehlt ihm nur noch ein Zuhause, in dem er ankommen darf. Wenn Sie einem tapferen, wunderschönen Podenco ein neues Kapitel schenken möchten, dann lernen Sie doch Turron kennen. Er wartet darauf, Ihnen sein Herz zu schenken!

About Turron

What life with Turron looks like

Turron is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

An young 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. 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 Turron, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Turron?
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 Turron on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Turron 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 Turron 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 Turron 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 Turron 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.
