Amor

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 16 months

Sponsorship Martina H. €10/month This is our Amor. (08/26) The young man is, unlike his brother Amigo, still shy to reserved when it comes to people. Amor generally gets along well with male dogs; depending on the character and demeanor of the other dog, he can be slightly dominant. That's fine. Amor really likes females and behaves like a gentleman toward all of them. He also plays nicely with the puppy Kaito. The cat test with Pedro is still pending, since Amor only recently arrived at HOPE and has a lot of new things to get used to, including the fact that not all human hands are bad and won't chase him away or hit him. Claudia says Amor is a really sweet guy. She believes he has never been petted before: when she comes to HOPE in the morning and greets her "bambini," he already lies on his back to be scratched, and he enjoys it. But only because the enclosure gate (still) stands between them. And you can already guess: Claudia won't rest and won't take long before Amor trusts her and leaves that past behind. Otherwise, like all the others, he loves his portion of yogurt. Water also delights him; he happily digs in the dog pools with Kaito and Limone 😊 This is only a snapshot; nothing is set in stone. We work with Amor and his friends every day, laying foundations such as building trust, bonding, physical closeness, and positive feedback. Changes usually show fairly quickly once we've reorganized our charges. Amor's future lies first with us and then with you, his future family. Once more, for better understanding: until recently, Amor lived on the street. Here is his past. Important update, early August 2026 The colony has grown from an original 6 to 9 dogs! After long, tough negotiations, we were also able to agree with the responsible Commandante on an exception regarding the planned stay at a canile. Claudia has been patiently feeding the dogs for almost 8 weeks. After work in the evening she drove there, waited for hours in the sweltering heat in an open car or behind a bush to observe them, and was completely covered in bites from the ever-present mosquitoes. She took photos and videos, earned the dogs' trust, and also set up a live trap. Gradually the dogs allowed themselves to be caught, and with permission we were able to bring them to HOPE step by step! At this point, all 9 colony members are safe. The shy young female was hard to secure and kept slipping away. But you know Claudia: she kept trying until it worked! Success came when 5 of Claudia's friends/family members supported her and formed a barrier with fishing nets. So no one was left behind. Of course, we are still looking for heroes to give our new arrivals a home. A foster placement offer would also be wonderful! Karin looks forward to your call at 0177/ 7003377 or an email to Following, for completeness, excerpts from our very first report in the newsletter 06/2026: SOS - experienced emergency help needed We have learned of a dog colony that is in danger. They are peaceful and have a good life, but some residents nevertheless have them in their sights. For that reason, the authorities have been informed. Catching them and transporting them to a canile is already planned and will not be long in coming. We all know what that means: the live trap snaps shut and there is no way out anymore. The canile responsible here is unfortunately one of the nasty kind… We will not be able to prevent this, because there are legal regulations: 1. Every dog we take in must be microchipped

Patenschaft Martina H. 10,-€/monatlich Das ist unser Amor. (08/26) Der junge Mann ist, im Gegensatz zu seinem Bruder Amigo, noch schüchtern bis zurückhaltend, was uns Menschen angeht. Amor ist generell verträglich mit Rüden; je nach Charakter/Ausstrahlung seines Gegenübers, leicht dominant. Das ist in Ordnung. Hündinnen mag Amor sehr gern und verhält sich allen gegenüber wie ein Gentleman. Auch mit dem Welpen Kaito spielt er freundlich. Der Katzentest mit Pedro steht noch aus, da Amor erst kürzlich auf HOPE eingetrudelt ist und sich an viel Neues gewöhnen muss. Auch daran, dass nicht alle Menschenhände schlecht sind und ihn verjagen oder schlagen. Claudia sagt, Amor ist ein ganz lieber Kerl. Sie glaubt, er ist noch niemals zuvor gestreichelt worden: Wenn sie morgens nach HOPE kommt und ihre „bambini“ begrüßt, legt er sich bereits auf den Rücken, um sich kraulen zu lassen und es gefällt ihm auch. Aber nur, weil das Gehege-Gitter (noch) dazwischen ist. Aber Ihr ahnt es schon: Claudia wird weder ruhen noch lange brauchen, bis Amor ihr vertraut und das hinter sich lässt. Ansonsten liebt er, wie alle anderen, seine Portion Joghurt. Auch Wasser begeistert ihn, er buddelt in den Hundepools mit Kaito und Limone vergnügt um die Wette 😊 Dies ist lediglich eine Momentaufnahme, nichts ist in Stein gemeißelt. Wir arbeiten täglich mit Amor und seinen Freunden, legen Grundsteine wie Vertrauensaufbau, Bindung, körperliche Nähe, positives Feedback. Veränderungen zeigen sich meist relativ schnell, nachdem wir unsere Schützlinge neu aufgestellt haben. Amors Zukunft liegt nun erst bei uns und dann bei Euch, seiner künftigen Familie. Noch einmal zum besseren Verständnis: Amor lebte bis vor kurzem auf der Straße. Hier ist seine Vergangenheit: Wichtiges Update Anfang August 2026 Die Kolonie ist von ursprünglich 6 auf 9 Hunde angewachsen! Nach langen, zähen Verhandlungen konnten wir außerdem mit dem zuständigen Commandante eine Ausnahmeregelung bezüglich des angedachten Canile-Aufenthaltes vereinbaren. Claudia hat die Hunde nun fast 8 Wochen lang geduldig angefüttert. Sie fuhr nach der Arbeit am Abend dorthin, harrte Stunden bei brütender Hitze im offenen Auto oder hinter einem Gebüsch aus, um zu beobachten, von den allgegenwärtigen Mücken völlig zerstochen. Sie machte Fotos und Videos, erarbeitete sich das Vertrauen der Hunde und stellte außerdem eine Lebendfalle auf. Nach und nach ließen sich die Hunde einfangen und wir durften sie mit Erlaubnis schrittweise zu uns nach HOPE holen! Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt sind alle 9 Kolonie-Bewohner sicher. Die scheue Junghündin, ließ sich schwer sichern, sie entwischte immer wieder. Aber Ihr kennt ja Claudia – sie versuchte es weiter, bis es klappte! Der Erfolg kam als 5 Freunde / Familienmitglieder von Claudia unterstützt haben und mit Fischernetzen Absperrungen gezogen haben. Niemand ist also zurückgeblieben. Wir suchen selbstverständlich nach wie vor Helden, die unseren Neuzugängen ein Zuhause schenken. Auch ein Pflegestellenangebot wäre ganz prima! Karin freut sich auf Euren Anruf unter Telefon Nr. 0177/ 7003377 oder eine E-Mail an Nachfolgend, der Vollständigkeit halber, in Auszügen unser allererster Bericht aus dem Newsletter 06/2026: SOS - erfahrene Starthilfen gesucht Wir haben Kenntnis von einer Hunde-Kolonie, die in Gefahr ist. Sie sind friedlich und haben ein gutes Leben, sind aber einigen Anwohnern dennoch ein Dorn im Auge. Deshalb wurden die Behörden informiert. Das Einfangen und der anschließende Abtransport in ein Canile ist bereits geplant und wird nicht lange auf sich warten lassen. Wir alle wissen, was das bedeutet: Die Lebendfalle schnappt zu und es gibt keinen Weg mehr hinaus. Das hier zuständige Canile ist leider eines der üblen Sorte… Wir werden das nicht verhindern können, denn es gibt gesetzliche Vorschriften: 1. Jeder Hund, den wir aufnehmen, muss mit einem Mikrochip geken

About Amor

What life with Amor looks like

Amor is a large puppy mixed breed dog waiting at saving dogs e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Amor, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Amor?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. saving dogs e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Amor on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Amor if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — saving dogs 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Amor 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 Amor 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 saving dogs e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Amor 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.
