Uva

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Warning! A mini Bodeguero bat mix is looking for a new home and, whether you like it or not - when you see this cute unique creature, you just can't help but melt, can you? Uva was rescued from the highway on December 31, 2021. The worst possible place for a dog of her size, but our Spanish partners suspect that the little lady might have been scared by fireworks, panicked and ran away, and then unfortunately ended up exactly on the highway. Fortunately, there were few cars and trucks on the road that day, and the tiny female dog was caught unharmed. Of course, it was checked whether the found pet had a microchip (which it did not) and it was waited to see if an anxious owner would come forward (which also did not happen). So small Uva is now in the animal shelter and on our website and will hopefully soon start her big journey to Germany. The approximately one-and-a-half-year-old (as of February 2022) female dog is an absolutely friendly and cheerful bundle of energy when it comes to playing with her four-legged friends. When she is stroked, Uva's small world is fine - then she calmly and relaxed enjoys the scratching and doesn't want to let go of "her" two-legged person. Even though Uva is a small dog, she remains a dog with all needs. So we are looking for a loving home for this fun lady, where she can be a "dog" alongside active people and never again find herself in a difficult situation, running around on any highways. Uva is waiting in the starting blocks - are you ready for this cuteness overload?

Vorsicht! Ein Mini- Bodeguero- Fledermausmischling hält Ausschau nach einem neuen Zuhause und, ob man will oder nicht- beim Anblick dieses lustigen Unikats kann man doch einfach nicht anders als dahinschmelzen, oder? Uva wurde am 31.12.2021 von der Autobahn gerettet. Der denkbar schlechteste Ort für einen Hund ihres Formats, doch unsere spanischen Partner vermuten, dass sich die kleine Dame vor Feuerwerkskörpern erschreckt haben könnte, in ihrer Panik auf und davon und dann leider eben genau auf die Autobahn gerannt ist. Zum Glück waren an diesem Tag wenige Autos und LKW unterwegs und die winzige Hündin konnte unversehrt eingefangen werden. Selbstverständlich wurde nachgesehen, ob das Findelkind einen Transponder trägt (was nicht der Fall war) und abgewartet, ob sich ein besorgter Besitzer melden würde (was ebenfalls nicht der Fall war). So landete Klein- Uva nun eben im Tierheim und auf unserer Homepage und wird hoffentlich schon bald ihre große Reise nach Deutschland antreten. Die ca. anderthalb Jahre alte (Stand Februar 2022) Hündin ist ein absolut freundliches und fröhliches Energiebündel, wenn es ans Spielen mit ihren vierbeinigen Freunden geht. Wird sie gestreichelt, ist Uvas kleine Welt in Ordnung- dann genießt sie ruhig und entspannt die Kraulereien und möchte “ihren” Zweibeiner am liebsten gar nicht mehr gehen lassen. Auch wenn Uva ein kleiner Hund ist, so ist und bleibt sie eben ein Hund mit allen Bedürfnissen. So suchen wir für die lustige Lady ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie an der Seite aktiver Menschen ganz “Hund” sein darf und nie wieder in Verlegenheit kommt, sich auf irgendwelchen Autobahnen herumzutreiben. Uva steht in den Startlöchern- sind auch Sie bereit für diesen Cuteness- Overload?

About Uva

What life with Uva looks like

Uva is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

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. 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 Uva, answered.

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