Christine

Podenco · Female · Young · 1 year

Christine is simply wonderful. She was found by the roadside and spent a few days in a foster home before coming to the animal shelter. The foster home also said that she is simply nice. So you just have to love this sweet puppy. On a walk, she showed that she is active, but in a very charming way. She is friendly with other dogs and loves being cuddled. Then she calms down quickly and enjoys it. Of course Christine still has to learn everything that comes with living with and around people. Who wants to teach her all of this with love and patience? Taking responsibility for a rescue dog is always a special challenge. The dogs bring a backpack with past experiences or unlearned situations and need time to get used to their new life. Would you like to take on the challenge and give this sweet puppy a home? Christine would also be happy about a foster home. Here is Christine's video Here is Video 2

Podenco Christine ist einfach wundervoll. Sie wurde am Straßenrand gefunden und hat ein paar Tage auf einer Pflegestelle verbracht, bevor sie ins Tierheim kam. Auch die Pflegestelle erzählte, dass sie absolut nett ist. Man muss die süße Hündin also einfach lieben. Auf einem Spaziergang zeigte sie, dass sie aktiv ist, aber auf eine ganz zauberhafte Art. Sie ist mit den anderen Hunden freundlich und liebt es gekuschelt zu werden. Dann beruhigt sie sich schnell und genießt. Natürlich muss Christine noch alles lernen, was zum Leben mit und beim Menschen dazu gehört. Wer möchte ihr das alles mit Liebe und Geduld beibringen? Die Verantwortung für einen Tierschutzhund ist immer eine besondere Herausforderung. Die Hunde bringen einen Rucksack mit vergangenen Erlebnissen oder ungelernten Situationen mit. Sie brauchen Zeit sich an ihr neues Leben zu gewöhnen. Möchten Sie die Herausforderung annehmen und der süßen Hündin ein Zuhause schenken? Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde Christine sich freuen.

About Christine

What life with Christine looks like

Christine 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 Christine, answered.

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