How do I contact the shelter about Isidoro?

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

Can I adopt Isidoro 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 Isidoro 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 Isidoro 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 Isidoro 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.

Isidoro

Podenco · Male · Senior · 11 years

Isidoro - wants to be loved for the first time in his life Isidoro came to our partner animal shelter together with his dog friend Serafin. Both have had a hard life so far. You can see and feel it in Isidoro. There is no joy in his face, a piece of his tail is missing and both ears are marked by old injuries. Isidoro will soon be 12 years old, which is not exactly the best prerequisite for finding a home or foster care in Germany. Will he still make it? Will someone see him and say: Yes, this dog should now have a happy and protected life. Yes, I am the person who wants to bring happiness to older dog souls right now. People who know this breed, Podenco, know that these dogs can still be active even in advanced age and Isidoro would surely thrive in the right environment. Isidoro is looking for a rural environment and people who do not expect anything special from him, but let him be and live as he wishes. Who will bring a smile to the older gentleman's Podenco face? Here is Isidoro's video

Isidoro – möchte zum ersten Mal im Leben geliebt werden Isidoro kam zusammen mit seinem Hundekumpel Serafin in unser Partnertierheim. Beide haben bisher ein hartes Leben hinter sich. Man sieht und merkt es Isidoro an. In seinem Gesicht ist keine Freude, es fehlt ein Stück seiner Rute und beide Ohren sind durch alte Verletzungen gezeichnet. Isidoro wird bald 12 Jahre alt, was nicht gerade die beste Voraussetzung für die Suche nach einem Zuhause oder einer Pflegestelle in Deutschland ist. Wird er es trotzdem schaffen? Sieht ihn jemand und sagt: Ja, genau dieser Hund soll nun sein weiteres Leben glücklich und behütet sein. Ja, ich bin der Mensch, der gerade den älteren Hundeseelen zum Glück verhelfen möchte. Menschen, die diese Rasse Podenco kennen, wissen, dass diese Hunde auch im fortgeschrittenen Alter durchaus noch aktiv sein können und Isidoro würde sicher im richtigen Umfeld aufblühen können. Isidoro sucht ein ländliches Umfeld und Menschen, die von ihm nichts Besonderes erwarten, sondern ihn so sein und leben lassen, wie er es sich wünscht. Wer zaubert dem älteren Herrn ein Lächeln ins Podencogesicht? Hier geht’s zu Isidoro’s Video

About Isidoro

What life with Isidoro looks like

Isidoro is a senior podenco dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
