How do I contact the shelter about Andres?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Andres on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Andres if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SALVA Hundehilfe 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 Andres 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 Andres 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 SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Andres 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.

Andres

Podenco · Male · Young · 2 years

Andres had great luck and was finally able to travel to Germany on a foster home. Here is how the sweet male dog is described: "Andres is an always friendly Podenco. He is absolutely getable with every other dog. So far, he shows no prey drive. At home, he is calm and even stays alone for two hours. He is also mostly house-trained. He listens to 'No' and can do 'Sit.' He can also climb stairs and walks well on a leash. Loud children and many people in one place unsettle Andres a little. Andres needs mental stimulation and long walks with thorough sniffing. Andres does not necessarily need another dog in his home, but he would also have no problem if another dog is there. Who will give him his forever home? Taking care of a shelter dog is always a special challenge. The dogs bring a backpack full of past experiences or unlearned situations and need time to get used to their new life. Would you take on the challenge and give the sweet male dog a home?.

Podenco Andres sucht DRINGEND eine neue Pflegestelle oder ein Zuhause Andres hatte großes Glück und durfte endlich auf eine Pflegestelle nach Deutschland reisen. Hier ist der süße Rüde stubenrein und kann bereits fünf Stunden alleine bleiben. Er ist leinenführig und fährt super im Auto mit. Insgesamt ist Andres aber auch einfach verschmust und ruhig. Er kann aber auch mal aufdrehen und richtig lustig werden. Inzwischen durfte Andres auch schon eine Hundeschule besuchen und ein paar Dinge aus dem Hundeeinmaleins lernen. Andres liebt Kinder. Die sollten aber standfest sein, da er sich wirklich sehr freut. Rassetypisch hat Andres einen Jagdtrieb. Insbesondere Hasen findet er super interessant. Dementsprechend kann er aber auch nicht mit Katzen zusammenleben. Andres möchte klare Regeln haben. Aktuell zeigen sich ein paar Dinge, die mit ihm trainiert werden müssen. Daher wäre es gut, wenn seine Menschen Lust auf Hundetraining haben und sich mit ihrem Hund beschäftigen möchten. Er ist ansonsten rundum pflegeleicht und auch für Anfänger geeignet. Wer gibt Andres die Chance auf einen Neustart? Andres benötigt nicht unbedingt einen anderen Hund in seinem Zuhause, aber er hätte auch kein Problem, wenn ein anderer Hund da ist. Die Verantwortung für einen Tierschutzhund ist immer eine besondere Herausforderung. Die Hunde bringen einen Rucksack mit vergangenen Erlebnissen oder ungelernten Situationen mit und brauchen Zeit sich an ihr neues Leben zu gewöhnen. Möchten Sie die Herausforderung annehmen und dem süßen Rüden ein Zuhause schenken? Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde Andres sich freuen. Hier geht’s zu Andres´ Video

About Andres

What life with Andres looks like

Andres is a large young adult podenco dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
