18. Virgil 💝

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Virgil ist ein ca. 10 Jahre alter Rüde, den wir aus der Tötungsstation retten konnten. Er war dort in einem kleinen Zwinger, zusammen mit anderen Rüden, die ihn immer wieder angriffen, sodass er eines Tages schwer gebissen und lebensgefährlich verletzt gefunden wurde. Unsere Tierärztin gab ihr Bestes um ihn zu retten und, einem Wunder grenzend, fand er den Weg zurück ins Leben 🩷. Er ist ein ruhiger Kerl, friedlich, freundlich, dankbar, hungrig nach der Liebe und Geborgenheit, die er bisher nie erfahren hat 😔. Er braucht eine ruhige Familie, die bereit ist ihm den Lebensabend lebenswert zu machen. Virgil ist entwurmt, gechipt, geimpft, kastriert, hat eine SH von 55 cm und wiegt ca. 26 Kg.

About 18. Virgil 💝

What life with 18. Virgil 💝 looks like

18. Virgil 💝 is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Salvate Canes e.V. in Alfeld.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 18. Virgil 💝, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about 18. Virgil 💝?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Salvate Canes e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw 18. Virgil 💝 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt 18. Virgil 💝 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Salvate Canes 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 18. Virgil 💝 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 18. Virgil 💝 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 Salvate Canes e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know 18. Virgil 💝 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.
