Ivy

Podenco · Female · Young · 1 year

Ivy - the cheerful and affectionate Podenco-Chihuahua mix female Ivy is an old Podenco-Chihuahua mix female born around August 2025 and the sister of Holly. She has inherited a particularly lovable mix from the two breeds: the liveliness and agility of the Podenco paired with the affection and small size of the Chihuahua. Ivy is super friendly and affectionate and approaches people openly. She enjoys the closeness to her caregivers and is visibly happy about attention and affection. With her handy size and her cheerful, trusting nature, Ivy will quickly settle into a new home. She is curious, open-minded and brings a lot of joie de vivre, which she likes to share with her new family. We wish Ivy loving people who offer her a safe home and who have just as much joy in her open, gentle nature as she does in life. Whoever takes this enchanting female dog in will gain a loyal and loving companion for life.

We would also be very happy about the provision of a foster home. The responsibility for a rescue dog is always a special challenge. The dogs bring a backpack with past experiences or unlearned situations and need time to get used to their new life.

Ivy – die fröhliche und anhängliche Podenco-Chihuahua-Mix-Hündin Ivy ist eine etwa im August 2025 geborene alte Podenco-Chihuahua-Mix-Hündin und die Schwester von Holly. Von den beiden Rassen hat sie eine besonders liebenswerte Mischung mitbekommen: die Aufgewecktheit und Wendigkeit des Podencos gepaart mit der Anhänglichkeit und dem kleinen Format des Chihuahuas. Ivy ist super freundlich und anhänglich und geht offen auf Menschen zu. Sie genießt die Nähe zu ihren Bezugspersonen und freut sich sichtlich über Aufmerksamkeit und Zuwendung. Mit ihrer handlichen Größe und ihrem fröhlichen, zutraulichen Wesen wird Ivy sich schnell in ein neues Zuhause einleben. Sie ist neugierig, aufgeschlossen und bringt viel Lebensfreude mit, die sie gerne mit ihrer neuen Familie teilt. Für Ivy wünschen wir uns liebevolle Menschen, die ihr ein sicheres Zuhause bieten und die genauso viel Freude an ihrer offenen, sanften Art haben wie sie selbst am Leben. Wer diese bezaubernde Hündin aufnimmt, gewinnt eine treue und liebevolle Begleiterin fürs Leben. Hier gehts zu Ivys Video Sollten Sie ernsthaftes Interesse an einer Adoption von Ivy haben, dann nehmen Sie bitte Kontakt mit der zuständigen Vermittlerin der SALVA Hundehilfe auf. Auch über die Bereitstellung einer Pflegestelle würden wir uns sehr freuen. Die Verantwortung für einen Tierschutzhund ist immer eine besondere Herausforderung. Die Hunde bringen einen Rucksack mit vergangenen Erlebnissen oder ungelernten Situationen mit und brauchen Zeit sich an ihr neues Leben zu gewöhnen.

About Ivy

What life with Ivy looks like

Ivy is a young adult podenco dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

An young 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 Ivy, answered.

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