Boby

Podenco · Male · Senior · 10 years

Boby – Heart dog seeks heart people What Boby has experienced and endured in his life so far, we don't know. What we do know is that he ended up in a shelter in Spain at the beginning of the year with cut-off ears and a missing part of his lower jaw. It's almost a miracle that he is still friendly and open to everyone. Whether man or woman, tall or small. He is simply kind. He loves long walks and playing with his ball, he loves riding in a car and would prefer to be with his person all the time. However, he can also be alone well. He enjoys playing with his dog friends or cuddling on the couch in the evening. He also walks well on a leash; however, he has a hunting drive typical of his breed, but he is increasingly focusing on the person at the other end of the leash. Cats should not live in his new home. Bobby is positive for leishmaniasis, but thanks to the medication Allopurinol and a low-purine diet, he is doing very well. Regular check-ups, approximately every six months, with the veterinarian should be done. We will naturally be happy to help with the treatment and any questions, even beyond the adoption. You can't tell by looking at Boby that he is sick or old; he is just bursting with energy and joy and is looking forward to your visit! Taking responsibility for a rescue dog is always a special challenge. The dogs bring along a backpack of past experiences or unlearned situations and need time to get used to their new life. Would you like to take on this challenge and give this sweet dog a home? Here is Boby's video.

Boby – Herzenshund sucht Herzensmenschen Was Boby in seinem bisherigen Leben erleben und erleiden musste, wissen wir nicht. Was wir wissen ist, dass er Anfang des Jahres mit abgeschnitten Ohren und einem fehlenden Stück Unterkiefer in Spanien im Tierheim landete. Es grenzt an ein Wunder, dass er immer noch freundlich und offen auf alle Menschen zugeht. Egal ob Mann oder Frau, groß oder klein. Er ist einfach nur lieb. Er liebt lange Spaziergänge und mit seinem Ball zu spielen, er liebt es Auto zu fahren und wäre am liebsten einfach immer bei seinem Menschen. Er kann aber auch gut Alleinebleiben. Er liebt es mit seinen Hundekumpels zu toben oder abends auf der Couch einfach zu kuscheln. An der Leine läuft er auch schon gut, rassetypisch hat er allerdings einen Jagdtrieb, aber er orientiert sich immer mehr auf den Menschen am anderen Ende der Leine. Katzen sollten in seinem neuen Zuhause eher nicht wohnen. Bobby ist Leishmaniose positiv, aber dank dem Medikament Allopurinol und einer purinarmen Ernährung, geht es ihm bestens. Regelmäßige Kontrollen, ca. alle 6 Monate, beim Tierarzt sollten aber sein. Bei der Behandlung und Fragen helfen wir natürlich gern, auch über die Adoption hinaus. Boby merkt man seine Krankheit und sein Alter überhaupt nicht an, er sprüht nur so vor Energie und Lebensfreude und freut sich auf Ihren Besuch! 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? Hier geht’s zu Bobys Video

About Boby

What life with Boby looks like

Boby is a small senior podenco dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Boby, answered.

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