Climber

Pointer · Male · Adult · 4 years

Pointer Climber – a gentleman on four paws is looking for his forever home. Climber is a beautiful male Pointer dog. Originally from Andalusia, he made it to a foster home in Germany, where he simply wins everyone over. Climber proves to be an exceptionally friendly, well-balanced, and cuddly dog. He seeks closeness, thoroughly enjoys every petting, and is happy just to be around. Inside the house, he’s pleasantly calm; he sleeps through the night and even snoozes comfortably through a whole day spent working from home. In everyday life, Climber quickly gets many things right. He’s house-trained, travels calmly in the car, and walks very nicely on the leash. Cyclists, cars, scooters, mopeds, and most encounters with other dogs don’t faze him at all. He meets unfamiliar children in a friendly and relaxed manner. He’s wonderfully motivated and guided by treats. Playing is one of his favorite hobbies. He especially loves the dog pool and playing fetch. Of course, Climber also has certain traits that his future family should still work on. As a Pointer, he has an inherent hunting instinct. Birds, hares, or game animals spark his interest, so he should always be kept securely outdoors. He also finds cats highly intriguing. Mantrailing—or something similar—would certainly be a great activity for him. Here, he could channel his enthusiasm for hunting into a new pursuit while simultaneously keeping his mind engaged. After all, Climber is quite the little rascal! He’s already figured out how to open doors and loves to help himself to unsupervised scraps left on the table or kitchen counter as an occasional snack. When interacting with other dogs, it all depends on whether they’re likable; and when it comes to food, he can still show a bit of jealousy toward his canine buddy. Climber is looking for people who appreciate his gentle nature and can provide him with loving consistency, giving him security and guidance. Anyone seeking a loyal, uncomplicated, and people-oriented companion will find in Climber a wonderful friend for life. A home with a securely fenced garden would be ideal for him. He earned the nickname “Climber” in Spain because he once tried to leave his kennel on his own. But at his foster home, he’s so happy that he hasn’t attempted anything like that since.

Pointer Climber – ein Gentleman auf vier Pfoten sucht sein Zuhause Climber ist ein wunderschöner Pointer-Rüde. Ursprünglich aus Andalusien stammend hat er es auf eine Pflegestelle in Deutschland geschafft und begeistert dort einfach jeden. Climber zeigt sich als ausgesprochen freundlicher, ausgeglichener und verschmuster Hund. Er sucht Nähe, genießt jede Streicheleinheit und ist glücklich, wenn er einfach dabei sein darf. Im Haus ist er angenehm ruhig, schläft nachts durch und verschläft auch einen Homeoffice-Tag ganz entspannt. Im Alltag macht Climber schon nach kürzester Zeit so viel richtig. Er ist stubenrein, fährt gelassen im Auto mit und läuft sehr angenehm an der Leine. Radfahrer, Autos, Roller, Mopeds und die meisten Hundebegegnungen bringen ihn nicht aus der Ruhe. Fremden Kindern begegnet er freundlich und entspannt. Mit Leckerlis lässt er sich hervorragend motivieren und lenken. Spielen gehört zu seinen Hobbys. Besonders viel Freude hat er am Hundepool und am Ballspielen. Natürlich bringt Climber auch Eigenschaften mit, an denen seine zukünftige Familie noch arbeiten sollte. Als Pointer ist Jagdtrieb bei ihm vorhanden. Vögel, Hasen oder Wild wecken sein Interesse, weshalb er draußen gut gesichert werden sollte. Katzen findet er ebenfalls sehr spannend. Mantrailing oder etwas in der Art wäre sicher eine richtig gute Sache für ihn. Hier könnte er seine Begeisterung an der Jagd umlenken auf eine neue Tätigkeit und gleichzeitig wäre sein Köpfchen gefordert. Climber ist nämlich ein kleiner Schlaufuchs. Er hat bereits herausgefunden, wie man Türen öffnet, und nutzt unbeaufsichtigte Essensreste auf Tisch oder Küchenzeile gern für einen kleinen Snack zwischendurch. Im Umgang mit anderen Hunden entscheidet die Sympathie, und beim Futter kann er gegenüber seinem Hundekumpel aktuell noch etwas neidisch reagieren. Climber sucht Menschen, die seine sanfte Art zu schätzen wissen und ihm mit liebevoller Konsequenz Sicherheit und Orientierung geben. Wer einen treuen, unkomplizierten und menschenbezogenen Begleiter sucht, wird in Climber einen wunderbaren Freund fürs Leben finden. Toll wäre für ihn ein Zuhause mit einem gut gesicherten Garten. Den Namen „Kletterer“ hat er in Spanien bekommen, weil er dort versucht hat, eigenmächtig seinen Zwinger zu verlassen. Auf der Pflegestelle ist er aber so glücklich, dass es derartige Versuche nicht gab. Hier geht’s zu Climbers Video

About Climber

What life with Climber looks like

Climber is a small adult pointer dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

An 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 Climber, answered.

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