Vania &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Vania now lives in 85368 Moosburg. All the best, Vania. Heartfelt thanks, Frau E. Vania is a joyful and affectionate Podenca-Knutschkugel, born in January 2025. At just 6 months old (as of July 2025), her life is bringing the hearts of all animal welfare workers in Linares to melt. With her shoulder height of 33 cm, she is a small but energetic female dog who brings lots of fun to her four-legged roommates. Podencos are known for their lively and mischievous nature. Originally from Spain, they are highly prized as hunting dogs there. This breed is distinguished by their intelligence, speed, and pronounced hunting instinct. Podencos are very social dogs who enjoy interacting with other dogs and people. Vania is no exception – she is compatible with other dogs and children and shows affection and sociability towards people. Vania was found by a caretaker of a cat colony on the street and brought to the animal shelter, where she has lived since April 2025. The friendly Wuslon is a enthusiastic toy tester and looks forward to every little affection in the strict everyday life of ArcoNatura. Vania is now searching for a loving home with humorous people who will give her the attention and affection she deserves. If you like to be outdoors, have a dog bed near a heater (Podencos are highly skilled at finding reliable heat sources), if you understand the art of cuddling and loving, and can handle small mischiefs with a lot of calmness and a smile, then you might be the one person Vania is longing for – and with whom she would gladly share her entire life. We look forward to hearing from you if you would like to learn more about our young athlete!

Vania lebt jetzt in 85368 Moosburg. Alles Gute, Vania. Herzlichen Dank, Frau E. Vania ist eine fröhliche und liebevolle Podenca-Knutschkugel, die im Januar 2025 geboren wurde. Derzeit also erst 6 Monate alt (Stand 07/2025) ist ihr Lebensinhalt, das Herz aller Tierschützer in Linares zum Schmelzen zu bringen. Mit ihrer Schulterhöhe von 33 cm ist sie eine kleine, aber energiegeladene Hündin, die auch ihren vierbeinigen Mitbewohnern viel Spaß bringt. Podencos sind bekannt für ihre lebhafte und spitzbübische Art. Ursprünglich stammen sie aus Spanien und sind dort als Jagdhunde sehr geschätzt. Diese Rasse zeichnet sich durch ihre Intelligenz, Schnelligkeit und ihren ausgeprägten Jagdinstinkt aus. Podencos sind sehr soziale Hunde, die gerne mit anderen Hunden und Menschen interagieren. Vania ist da keine Ausnahme – sie ist verträglich mit anderen Hunden und Kindern und zeigt sich gegenüber Menschen liebevoll und gesellig. Vania wurde von einer Betreuerin einer Katzenkolonie auf der Straße gefunden und ins Tierheim gebracht, wo sie seit April 2025 lebt. Das freundliche Wuslon ist eine begeisterte Spielzeugtesterin und freut sich über jede noch so kleine Zuwendung im straffen Alltag der ArcoNatura. Vania sucht nun ein liebevolles Zuhause bei humorvollen Menschen, die ihr die Aufmerksamkeit und Zuneigung schenken, die sie verdient. Wenn Sie gern draußen sind, ein Körbchen in der Nähe einer Heizung haben (Podencos sind hochbegabt bei der Suche nach zuverlässigen Wärmequellen), wenn Sie viel vom Schmusen und Liebhaben verstehen und kleine Dummheiten mit viel Gelassenheit und einem Lächeln verkraften, dann könnten Sie diese eine Person sein, nach der Vania sich sehnt – und mit der sie gern ihr ganzes Leben teilen würde. Wir freuen uns von Ihnen zu hören, wenn Sie mehr über unsere Nachwuchsathletin erfahren möchten!

About Vania &#8211

What life with Vania &#8211 looks like

Vania &#8211 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 Vania &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Vania &#8211?
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 Vania &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Vania &#8211 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 Vania &#8211 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 Vania &#8211 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 Vania &#8211 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.
