Boone

Male · Senior · 11 years

Wasserhund Boone - a lovable senior who is in a hurry. Who can help Boone? He recently arrived at our Spanish partner animal shelter. The beautiful Spanish water dog was found alone on the street. He was probably just abandoned. When Boone arrived at the shelter, his condition was shocking. His entire body was covered in ticks and he was extremely weak. We don't know what his life was like before. But his condition suggested that no one had taken care of him as he deserved for a long time. In early August, Boone was lucky: he was allowed to leave the shelter and move to a loving foster home. There, he is now showing what a wonderful dog he is. Boone has adapted surprisingly quickly to life in a home. He enjoys the security and care and gets along very well with the existing dog. It's beautiful to see how this old dog finally gets to experience what a real home feels like after everything he must have endured. All the more terrible that his luck will soon end, because the foster home can only keep him for a short time. That's why we are urgently looking for a new foster home - and even more so for Boone's forever home. Boone is one of the seniors. But that's exactly why we so much want him to not have to spend his remaining time behind bars again. He has already shown how wonderfully he fits into a home and how much he enjoys life as a family dog. Please don't let Boone go back to the shelter. This lovable old gentleman has waited long enough for life to finally be kind to him. We want people who can give him security, care and love. Contact his caregiver if you have a place for the poor fellow. Boone should never again have to experience what it's like to have no home. Here's Boone's video

Wasserhund Boone – ein liebenswerter Senior, der es ganz eilig hat Wer hilft Boone? Er kam vor Kurzem erst in unser spanisches Partnertierheim. Der wunderschöne spanische Wasserhund wurde allein auf der Straße gefunden. Vermutlich hatte man ihn einfach ausgesetzt. Als Boone ins Tierheim kam, war sein Zustand erschreckend. Sein ganzer Körper war übersät mit Zecken und er war extrem schwach. Wie sein Leben zuvor ausgesehen hat, wissen wir nicht. Aber sein Zustand ließ erahnen, dass sich schon lange niemand mehr so um ihn gekümmert hatte, wie er es verdient hätte. Anfang August hatte Boone großes Glück: Er durfte das Tierheim verlassen und auf eine liebevolle Pflegestelle ziehen. Dort zeigt sich nun, was für ein wunderbarer Hund in ihm steckt. Boone hat sich erstaunlich schnell an das Leben in einem Zuhause gewöhnt. Er genießt die Geborgenheit und die Fürsorge und versteht sich auch mit dem bereits vorhandenen Hund ganz hervorragend. Es ist wunderschön zu sehen, wie dieser alte Hund nach allem, was vermutlich hinter ihm liegt, endlich erfahren darf, wie sich ein richtiges Zuhause anfühlt. Umso schrecklicher, dass sein Glück bald endet, denn die Pflegestelle kann ihn nur noch sehr kurz behalten. Deshalb suchen wir ganz dringend eine neue Pflegestelle – und noch viel lieber natürlich Boones endgültiges Zuhause. Boone gehört zu den Senioren. Aber gerade deshalb wünschen wir uns für ihn so sehr, dass er seine verbleibende Zeit nicht wieder hinter Gittern verbringen muss. Er hat bereits gezeigt, wie wunderbar er sich in ein Zuhause einfügt und wie sehr er das Leben als Familienhund genießt. Bitte lasst Boone nicht zurück ins Tierheim müssen. Dieser liebenswerte alte Herr hat lange genug darauf gewartet, dass das Leben es endlich gut mit ihm meint. Wir wünschen uns Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit, Fürsorge und Liebe schenken. Melden sie sich bei seiner Vermittlerin, wenn Sie einen Platz für den armen Kerl frei haben. Boone soll nie wieder erfahren müssen, wie es sich anfühlt, kein Zuhause zu haben.

About Boone

What life with Boone looks like

Boone is a large senior 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 Boone, answered.

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