Celeste

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Mixed-breed Celeste - after her difficult start in life, she is waiting for her family Celeste had no easy start. The local animal welfare organization picked her up from the street after a traffic accident. She had broken a leg and required surgery. But this difficult time is now behind her. Celeste has been operated on, fully recovered, and is now showing herself as a beautiful dog full of joie de vivre. And that is exactly what she has regained. Celeste gets along well with other dogs. She is sociable, playful, and enjoys spending time with her fellow dogs and playing with them. She also shows herself wonderfully to people: Celeste is pure affection. She seeks closeness, wants attention, and enjoys company. She is one of those dogs that shows how easy it can be to take an animal to heart when it finally feels safe and secure. Actually, Celeste is missing only one thing now: someone to choose her. She has already overcome the traffic accident, the fracture, the surgery, and the recovery. Now her greatest wish should finally come true: her own family, where she can arrive and never have to wait to be discovered again. Celeste is waiting in her Spanish animal shelter - for the person who shows her that the wait was worth it. Here is Celeste's video

Mischling Celeste – nach ihrem schweren Start ins Leben wartet sie auf ihre Familie Celeste hatte keinen einfachen Start. Die Tierschützer vor Ort haben sie nach einem Verkehrsunfall von der Straße aufgelesen. Sie hatte sich ein Bein gebrochen und musste operiert werden. Doch diese schwere Zeit liegt nun hinter ihr. Celeste ist operiert, vollständig genesen und zeigt sich heute wieder als wunderschöne Hündin voller Lebensfreude. Und genau diese hat sie zurückgewonnen. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Celeste hervorragend. Sie ist gesellig, verspielt und genießt es sehr, Zeit mit ihren Artgenossen zu verbringen und ausgelassen mit ihnen zu spielen. Auch Menschen gegenüber zeigt sie sich einfach wunderbar: Celeste ist pure Zuneigung. Sie sucht die Nähe, möchte Aufmerksamkeit und genießt Gesellschaft. Sie ist eine dieser Hündinnen, die einem vor Augen führen, wie leicht es sein kann, ein Tier ins Herz zu schließen, wenn es sich endlich sicher und geborgen fühlen darf. Eigentlich fehlt Celeste jetzt nur noch eines: jemand, der sie auswählt. Den Verkehrsunfall, den Bruch, die Operation und die Genesung hat sie bereits hinter sich gebracht. Jetzt sollte ihr größter Wunsch endlich in Erfüllung gehen: eine eigene Familie, bei der sie ankommen darf und nie wieder darauf warten muss, entdeckt zu werden. Celeste wartet in ihrem spanischen Tierheim – auf den Menschen, der ihr zeigt, dass sich das Warten gelohnt hat. Hier geht’s zu Celestes Video

About Celeste

What life with Celeste looks like

Celeste is a young adult mixed breed 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 Celeste, answered.

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