You

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

"It wasn't me, it was YOU!" - with his name, our funny little guy always has the best excuse in store that you can imagine. The now 1.5 year old You is a friendly, playful and affectionate Mixed Breed. With his brown button eyes and four white paws, he is patiently waiting for his new life. However, his young life has not always been filled with joy: The little dog was found in a suburb of Seville, where, according to the stories of the locals, he had already been begging every passerby for help and affection for days - but no one felt responsible to at least inform the animal welfare association about the sad but very friendly heartbreaker. When his rescuer from Arca finally arrived, he was simply delighted and grateful. Rarely has one of our shelter animals gotten into the car so quickly. You is an approximately 45 cm castrated male dog. He has been in a foster home in Germany since May 2022. There, he shows himself as a devoted, very affectionate and loyal partner. Occasionally, he still has a few ideas in his head, but he understands very quickly what is acceptable and what is not. Our witty little coal piece enjoys cuddles and is happiest when close to people. Nevertheless, he also finds peace in his dog bed during home office time and waits patiently and mostly sleeping until it's his turn again. During long walks, he is well-behaved and obedient. In dog encounters, he is somewhat unsettled and starts barking. This can be quickly stopped with a biscuit, which You loves treats. He also passed the cat test in Spain with flying colors and a existing cat should not be a problem in the household. Now he is happily, but anxiously waiting to find out where he will set up camp in the future. We hope he soon receives the message that he is allowed to head towards great happiness!. Walks well on a leash.

“It wasn’t me, it was YOU!” – mit seinem Namen hat unser lustiger kleiner Bub wirklich immer die beste Ausrede im Petto, die man sich nur wünschen kann. Der mittlerweile 1,5 jährige You ist ein freundlicher, verspielter und verschmuster Mischlingshund. Mit seinen braunen Knopfaugen und vier weißen Pfötchen, wartet er geduldig auf sein neues Leben. Dabei war sein junges Leben nicht immer von Freude geprägt: Der kleine Hund wurde in einem Vorort von Sevilla gefunden, wo er laut Erzählungen der Anwohner schon seit Tagen jeden Passanten um Hilfe und Zuneigung anflehte – aber niemand fühlte sich berufen, wenigstens den Tierschutzverein über den traurigen, aber sehr freundlichen Herzensbrecher zu informieren. Als dann endlich sein Retter von der Arca auftauchte, war er einfach nur begeistert und dankbar. So schnell saß selten einer unserer Schützlinge im Auto. You ist ein ca. 45 cm kastrierter Rüde. Er befindet sich seit Mai 2022 auf einer Pflegestelle in Deutschland. Dort zeigt er sich als anhänglicher, sehr verschmuster und treuer Partner. Ab und zu hat er noch ein paar Flausen im Kopf, aber er versteht sehr schnell, was in Ordnung ist und was nicht. Unser witziges Kohlestückchen genießt Streicheleinheiten und ist am liebsten in der Nähe von Menschen. Trotzdem findet er auch beim Home Office in seinem Körbchen Ruhe und wartet geduldig und meistens schlafend bis er wieder an der Reihe ist. Bei den langen Spaziergängen ist er gut Leinenführig und anständig. Bei Hundebegegnungen, ist er etwas verunsichert und fängt noch an zu bellen. Dies kann man mit einem Keks ganz schnell unterbinden, den You liebt Leckerchen Den Katzentest in Spanien, hat er auch mit Bravour bestanden und eine bereits vorhandene Katze sollte im Haushalt kein Problem darstellen. Jetzt wartet er freudig, aber gespannt darauf, wo er künftig seine Zelte aufschlagen darf. Wir hoffen, dass er bald die Nachricht erhält, dass er in Richtung großes Glück aufbrechen darf!

About You

What life with You looks like

You 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 You, answered.

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