How do I contact the shelter about Copito?

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 Copito on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Copito 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 Copito 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 Copito 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 Copito 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.

Adopt Copito

Maltese · Male · Puppy

Malteser Copito – small, but full of adventure spirit! Copito is a real whirlwind who seems to have forgotten how tiny he actually is. Brave, curious, and full of energy, he enthusiastically dives into every new adventure and wants to discover the world. The little guy is very people-oriented and likes to be right in the middle of things. Staying alone still proves challenging for him currently. Copito is a little shadow on four legs and likes to accompany his people step by step. Even driving a car still counts as one of his projects, as he comments on the ride extensively as a "chatty passenger." Additionally, he is not fully house-trained yet, age-appropriate. With his open and friendly nature, Copito can be both a single dog and integrate well into an existing dog family. Responsible children are also welcome to become part of his family. He has a lot of fun with anything that involves water. Splashing around is one of his favorite activities. A small special feature Copito brings is that he was born without an erected penis. The necessary operation has already been successfully completed, and it has not affected his everyday life in any way. He is a completely normal, cheerful young puppy who enjoys life to the fullest. For Copito, we wish for people who take joy in showing a young puppy the world, gently teaching him the necessary rules, and experiencing many small and big adventures together. Whoever is looking for a lively, fun-loving, and attached companion will find a lifelong friend in Copito. Here you can find the videos of Copito:. This is a young, adolescent dog.

Malteser Copito – klein, aber voller Abenteuerlust! Copito ist ein echter Wirbelwind, der scheinbar vergessen hat, wie winzig er eigentlich ist. Mutig, neugierig und voller Tatendrang stürzt er sich begeistert in jedes neue Abenteuer und möchte die Welt entdecken. Der kleine Kerl ist sehr menschenbezogen und am liebsten immer mittendrin. Alleine bleiben fällt ihm aktuell noch schwer. Copito ist ein kleiner Schatten auf vier Pfoten und begleitet seine Menschen gerne auf Schritt und Tritt. Auch das Autofahren gehört noch zu seinen Baustellen, denn als „gesprächiger Beifahrer“ kommentiert er die Fahrt ausgiebig. Altersentsprechend ist er außerdem noch nicht vollständig stubenrein. Mit seiner offenen und freundlichen Art kann Copito sowohl als Einzelhund als auch zu einem bereits vorhandenen Hund ziehen. Verantwortungsvolle Kinder dürfen ebenfalls gerne zu seiner Familie gehören. Besonders viel Spaß hat er an allem, was mit Wasser zu tun hat. Planschen gehört zu seinen Lieblingsbeschäftigungen. Eine kleine Besonderheit bringt Copito mit: Er wurde ohne angelegten Penis geboren. Die notwendige Operation hat er bereits erfolgreich hinter sich gebracht, und hat dadurch keinerlei Einschränkungen im Alltag. Er ist ein ganz normaler, fröhlicher Junghund, der sein Leben in vollen Zügengenießt. Für Copito wünschen wir uns Menschen, die Freude daran haben, einem jungen Hund die Welt zu zeigen, ihm liebevoll die nötigen Regeln beibringen und gemeinsam mit ihm viele kleine und große Abenteuer erleben möchten. Wer einen lebensfrohen, lustigen und anhänglichen Begleiter sucht, wird in Copito einen Freund fürs Leben finden. Hier geht es zu den Videos von Copito: Video 1 Video 2

About Copito

What life with Copito looks like

Copito is a very small puppy/kitten maltese 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.
