How do I contact the shelter about Apple?

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 Apple on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Apple 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 Apple 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 Apple 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 Apple 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.

Apple

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

Mixed breed Apple - a clever little whirlwind seeking her forever home. Apple is currently waiting with her siblings in the kennel for her big chance - people who don't just fall for a cute puppy look, but really understand the potential and responsibility that lies in this little dog. All day long, they play, run around, explore and snuggle. Apple and her siblings are simply enchanting, cheerful and full of joy for life. But even though Apple is so adorable today - she will not only be a small cuddly friend, but probably an active, intelligent and hardworking companion. Her mother is a Border Collie mix, her father possibly a Malinois - a mix that requires intelligence, stimulation, consistency and true dedication. Here we are not looking for people who only fall in love with a cute puppy, but those who are ready to do justice to Apple throughout her entire dog life. Because this dog doesn't just want to go for walks - he wants to learn, work, be supported and be part of an active, responsible life. Apple is looking for people who know that puppies require time, patience, nerves and love. People who lovingly, but clearly accompany her through life, support her without overwhelming her and show her how beautiful a shared life can be. A dog like Apple is not a decision for the moment - but for the next hopefully 15 years. For a whole life. For friendship, responsibility and countless shared adventures. Who will give Apple not just a home, but a real future. Apple would also be very happy about a foster home. Here is Apple's video.

Mischling Apple – kluger kleiner Wirbelwind sucht ihr Für-immer-Zuhause Apple wartet derzeit noch gemeinsam mit ihren Geschwistern im Zwinger auf ihre große Chance – auf Menschen, die nicht nur einem süßen Welpenblick verfallen, sondern wirklich verstehen, welches Potenzial und welche Verantwortung in diesem kleinen Hundekind steckt. Den ganzen Tag wird gespielt, getobt, entdeckt und gekuschelt. Apple und ihre Geschwister sind einfach bezaubernd, fröhlich und voller Lebensfreude. Doch so niedlich Apple heute auch ist – aus ihr wird nicht nur eine kleine Kuschelfreundin, sondern vermutlich eine aktive, intelligente und arbeitsfreudige Begleiterin. Ihre Mama ist eine Border-Collie-Mischlingshündin, ihr Papa möglicherweise ein Malinois – also eine Mischung, die Köpfchen, Auslastung, Konsequenz und echte Hingabe braucht. Hier suchen wir keine Menschen, die sich nur in einen niedlichen Welpen verlieben, sondern solche, die bereit sind, Apple ein ganzes Hundeleben lang gerecht zu werden. Denn dieser Hund möchte nicht nur spazieren gehen – er möchte lernen, arbeiten, gefördert werden und Teil eines aktiven, verantwortungsbewussten Lebens sein. Apple sucht Menschen, die wissen, dass Welpen Zeit, Geduld, Nerven und Liebe kosten. Menschen, die sie liebevoll, aber klar durchs Leben begleiten, sie fördern ohne zu überfordern und ihr zeigen, wie schön ein gemeinsames Leben sein kann. Ein Hund wie Apple ist keine Entscheidung für den Moment – sondern für die nächsten hoffentlich 15 Jahre. Für ein ganzes Leben. Für Freundschaft, Verantwortung und unzählige gemeinsame Abenteuer. Wer schenkt Apple nicht nur ein Zuhause, sondern echte Zukunft. Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde Apple sich sehr freuen. Hier geht’s zu Apples Video

About Apple

What life with Apple looks like

Apple is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
