Emmelt

Border Collie · Male · Puppy

Border Collie mix Emmelt is a little guy with a big heart. Sometimes, all it takes is just one single glance—and that’s exactly the kind of dog Emmelt is. With his loyal eyes, gentle nature, and loving demeanor, this mere four-month-old Border Collie mix quickly steals your heart. Recently, Emmelt began his journey from Spain and now lives on a loving foster home in Germany. There, he shows anew every day just how wonderful this little fellow truly is. He understands canine language exceptionally well, interacts with other dogs in a friendly and respectful manner, and happily looks to his humans for guidance. He thoroughly enjoys cuddles and closeness, yet at the same time, he can already entertain himself remarkably well, bringing a lovely sense of balance to his life. If you pay close attention to his signals, you’ll quickly notice that Emmelt already knows how to do his business outside—perfect conditions for him to soon become fully house-trained. For Emmelt, we’re looking for a loving home with an active family who enjoy keeping him mentally and physically stimulated. As a Border Collie mix, he doesn’t just want to run around; above all, he longs to explore the world together with his people, learning and growing alongside them. He’s not searching for the “perfect” family—but rather for people who’ll welcome him as a full-fledged family member, stand by him through thick and thin, and give him a forever home. Whoever gives this little treasure a chance will gain a loyal friend whose gentle, cheerful nature makes each day just a bit brighter. Emmelt would love to be introduced to potential adopters at his foster home. Click here for Emmelt’s video. Click here for Video 2.

Border Collie Mischling Emmelt ist ein kleiner Mann mit großem Herzen. Manchmal braucht es nur einen einzigen Blick – und genau so ein Hund ist Emmelt. Mit seinen treuen Augen, seinem sanften Wesen und seiner liebevollen Art schleicht sich der gerade einmal vier Monate alte Border-Collie-Mischling direkt ins Herz. Vor Kurzem durfte Emmelt seine Reise aus Spanien antreten und lebt nun auf einer liebevollen Pflegestelle in Deutschland. Dort zeigt er jeden Tag aufs Neue, was für ein wunderbarer kleiner Kerl er ist. Er versteht die Hundesprache ausgezeichnet, begegnet anderen Hunden freundlich und respektvoll und orientiert sich gerne an seinen Menschen. Kuscheln und Nähe genießt er sehr, gleichzeitig kann er sich aber auch schon erstaunlich gut selbst beschäftigen und bringt damit eine schöne Portion Ausgeglichenheit mit. Wer aufmerksam auf seine Signale achtet, wird schnell merken, dass Emmelt bereits versteht, sein Geschäft draußen zu erledigen – die besten Voraussetzungen, um bald ganz stubenrein zu sein. Für Emmelt wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause bei einer aktiven Familie, die Freude daran hat, ihn sowohl geistig als auch körperlich auszulasten. Als Border-Collie-Mischling möchte er nicht nur rennen, sondern vor allem mit seinen Menschen gemeinsam die Welt entdecken, lernen und wachsen. Er sucht keine perfekte Familie – sondern Menschen, die ihn als vollwertiges Familienmitglied aufnehmen, ihn durch dick und dünn begleiten und ihm ein Zuhause für sein ganzes Leben schenken. Wer diesem kleinen Schatz eine Chance gibt, gewinnt einen treuen Freund, der mit seiner sanften, fröhlichen Art jeden Tag ein bisschen schöner macht. Emmelt kann auf seiner Pflegestelle sehr gerne kennengelernt Hier geht’s zu Emmelts Video Hier geht’s zu Video 2

About Emmelt

What life with Emmelt looks like

Emmelt is a large puppy/kitten border collie 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 Emmelt, answered.

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