Cleo

Podenco · Female · Puppy

Podenco Cleo is looking for patient people. Cleo is completely overwhelmed. Having just arrived at the animal shelter, she’s still completely unable to cope with the situation. Moreover, her previous life was certainly not very pleasant. As a result, she’s not yet able to enjoy close human company. Her insecurity is simply still standing in her way. She’ll need time to build trust with her people and settle into a new life. But with the right people by her side, she’ll definitely succeed soon. Who will give this enchanting little dog a chance at a real home—most likely the first one of her life? She’d surely be grateful a thousand times over. Taking responsibility for an animal shelter dog is always a special challenge. These dogs carry a backpack of past experiences or unlearned situations with them and need time to adjust to their new life. Would you like to take on this challenge and give this sweet dog a forever home? Cleo would also be delighted with a foster care arrangement. Click here for Cleo’s video!

Podenco Cleo sucht geduldige Menschen Cleo ist total überfordert. Gerade im Tierheim angekommen, kann sie mit der Situation noch gar nicht umgehen. Zudem war ihr bisheriges Leben sicherlich nicht besonders schön. Somit kann sie auch die Nähe zu Menschen noch nicht genießen. Ihre Unsicherheit steht ihr da einfach noch sehr im Weg. Sie wird Zeit brauchen, um Vertrauen zu ihren Menschen zu gewinnen und in einem neuen Leben anzukommen. Mit den richtigen Menschen an ihrer Seite wird das aber bestimmt bald klappen. Wer gibt der zauberhaften Hündin eine Chance auf ein echtes Zuhause – höchstwahrscheinlich zum ersten Mal in ihrem Leben? Sie würde es sicher tausendfach danken. 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 der süßen Hündin ein Zuhause schenken? Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde Cleo sich freuen. Hier gehts zu Cleos Video

About Cleo

What life with Cleo looks like

Cleo is a puppy/kitten podenco dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Cleo, answered.

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