How do I contact the shelter about Leo?

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

Can I adopt Leo 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 Leo 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 Leo 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 Leo 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.

Leo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Leo - a charming little dog. Leo is a ray of sunshine. He is always the first to greet, running up wagging his tail to get his cuddles and spend time snuggling. With dogs he doesn't know yet, he needs to be properly introduced first, then he gets along well, and also with cats, Leo manages. Visually, this sweet pup is a nice mix. Podenco, dachshund, mini Labrador? We don't know and it doesn't matter to Leo and us. What's important now is that the little dog gets a real home where he is truly loved and not just cared for like in the animal shelter. When Leo arrived at the animal protectors, he had a fracture in the hip area. He was medically cared for, appropriately calmed down, and now everything has healed without complications. Leo is ready for the big journey to Germany to a forever home or even initially to a foster home. Due to his not-so-young age, we can imagine small Leo well with active seniors. Has the sweet one just jumped into your heart? Then contact Leo's adoption officer. Unfortunately, there is currently no video of Leo. However, we would check at the animal shelter if there is serious interest.

Leo – ein zauberhafter kleiner Hund Leo ist ein Sonnenschein. Er ist immer der Erste bei der Begrüßung, wedelnd kommt er angelaufen, um seine Streicheleinheiten abzuholen und ausgiebig zu kuscheln. Menschen sind sein ein und alles. Leo ist freundlich, zugewandt und seine Sturm-und Drangzeit liegt hinter ihm. Mit anderen Hunden ist er verträglich, braucht allerdings ein bisschen Zeit zum Kennenlernen. Auch mit Samtpfoten kommt Leo zurecht. Optisch ist der süße Fratz eine hübsche Mischung. Podenco, Dackel, Mini-Labrador? Das wissen wir nicht und Leo und uns ist es auch egal. Wichtig ist jetzt, dass der kleine Hundemann ein richtiges Zuhause bekommt, wo er wirklich geliebt und nicht nur wie im Tierheim versorgt wird. Über einen Garten würde er sich riesig freuen, denn er schnüffelt gerne im Gras und erkundet die Umgebung. Als Leo bei den Tierschützern ankam, hatte er einen Bruch im Hüftbereich. Er wurde medizinisch betreut, angemessen ruhiggestellt und nun ist alles völlig folgenlos verheilt und Leo ist bereit für die große Reise nach Deutschland in ein Für-immer-Zuhause oder auch zunächst einmal auf eine Pflegestelle. Aufgrund seines nicht mehr ganz jungen Alters können wir uns Klein-Leo gut bei rüstigen Senioren vorstellen. Leo ist negativ auf alle Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Der Süße hat gerade den Sprung in Ihr Herz geschafft? Dann melden Sie sich bei Leos Vermittlerin. Hier gehts zu Leos Video

About Leo

What life with Leo looks like

Leo is a very small 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.
