Iggy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 3 years

When Iggy, a mixed breed, came to his foster family as a young dog, he adjusted well, but he could not yet completely overcome his fears. Strangers are still very scary to him, but he loves his caretakers! He enjoys every petting. Iggy is such a lovable guy. Unfortunately, he also has a slight disability in the hip, which is still being examined. He is compatible with other dogs, cats, horses, and certainly other animals as well. Iggy should live in a rural area, preferably on ground level. A house with a garden would be a dream! If you would like to give Iggy a quiet and stable home filled with love, please contact his adopter from SALVA Dog Help. » Here you can find the donation appeal "Medical / Food Bowl Iggy"

DE·Show original

Als Junghund kam Mischling Iggy zu seiner Pflegefamilie. Er hat sich gut eingelebt seine Ängste konnte er aber noch nicht ganz ablegen. Fremde Menschen sind ihm nach wie vor sehr unheimlich, seine Bezugspersonen liebt er aber sehr! Jede Streicheleinheit genießt er. Iggy ist ein so liebenswerter Kerl. Dazu kommt leider noch eine leichte Behinderung an der Hüfte, die noch weiter untersucht wird. Verträglich ist er mit Artgenossen, Katzen, Pferden und ganz sicher auch noch mit anderen Tieren. Ländlich sollte Iggy leben, auf jeden Fall auch ebenerdig. Ein Haus mit Garten, das wäre ein Traum! Wenn Sie Iggy ein ruhiges und beständiges Zuhause mit viel Liebe schenken möchten, melden Sie sich gerne bei seiner Vermittlerin der SALVA Hundehilfe. » Hier geht es zum Spendenaufruf „Medizin- / Futtertopf Iggy“

About Iggy

What life with Iggy looks like

Iggy is a adult mixed breed 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 Iggy, answered.

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