Arnold

Podenco · Male · Young · 1 year

Arnold is a very sweet guy. Arnold is familiar with humans, but clearly not in a positive way, or he has only had bad experiences so far. He doesn't want to be touched just yet. The sweet male dog should definitely experience the beautiful life outside of a cage. It's time. At his young age, all doors are still open for a new start. Therefore, he is looking for people who would like to give him love but also have patience to show him life outside the cage. Who will give the sweet Arnold this chance? 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 adjust to their new life. Would you like to take on the challenge and give the sweet male dog a home? Arnold would also be happy with a foster home.

DE·Show original

Arnold ist ein ganz süßer Kerl. Arnold kennt den Kontakt mit Menschen aber ganz offensichtlich nicht oder er hat bisher nur schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht. Er möchte sich noch nicht anfassen lassen. Der süße Rüde soll unbedingt das schöne Leben außerhalb eines Zwingers kennenlernen. Es wird Zeit. In seinem jungen Alter stehen ihm noch alle Türen offen, um einen Neustart zu wagen. Daher sucht er Menschen, die ihm Liebe geben möchten, aber auch Geduld haben, ihm das Leben außerhalb des Zwingers zu zeigen. Wer gibt dem süßen Arnold diese Chance? 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 Arnold sich freuen.

About Arnold

What life with Arnold looks like

Arnold is a 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. 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 Arnold, answered.

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