Baloo

Podenco · Male · Adult · 5 years

Cheerful, open-minded, and curious – that’s Baloo. Baloo is truly a ray of sunshine. He is so kind and happy when people come to his enclosure or take him out for a walk. Unfortunately, this happens far too rarely. Baloo would love to be with people. Hopefully, people who want to give him a chance at a home will see him. They should be patient, as Baloo is still getting used to life with people. For that, you’ll get a loving dog in the best age: not too old, but also not too rambunctious. Will you give him 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 they need time to adjust to their new lives. Do you want to take on the challenge and give the sweet male dog a home? Baloo would also be happy with a foster home. Here’s the video for Baloo Here’s Baloo’s second description.

Fröhlich, aufgeschlossenen und neugierig – das ist Baloo. Baloo ist wirklich ein Sonnenschein. Er ist so nett und freut sich über die Menschen, wenn sie in seinen Zwinger kommen oder ihn doch einmal mit nach draußen nehmen. Leider passiert das viel zu selten. Baloo ist doch so gern bei den Menschen. Hoffentlich sehen ihn hier die Menschen, die ihm die Chance auf ein Zuhause geben möchten. Sie sollten geduldig sein, da Baloo das Leben beim Menschen noch nicht kennt. Dafür bekommen Sie einen lieben Hund, der im besten Alter ist: Nicht zu alt, aber auch nicht mehr quirlig. Geben Sie ihm 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 Baloo sich freuen. Hier geht’s zu Baloo´s Video Hier geht’s zu Baloo´s 2. Video

About Baloo

What life with Baloo looks like

Baloo is a adult podenco dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

An 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 Baloo, answered.

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