How do I contact the shelter about Marcello?

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

Can I adopt Marcello 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 Marcello 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 Marcello 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 Marcello 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.

Marcello

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Looking for a new home! The young Marcello was surrendered to our Spanish partner animal shelter by animal protection volunteers. Therefore, we cannot provide any information about his background. When he arrived, he appeared very impressed and slightly overwhelmed by the commotion in the shelter. However, this soon subsided, and his friendly and cheerful nature emerged in the kennel. Now, Marcello enjoys affection and also likes going for walks. He longs for human closeness. Marcello is sociable with the other dogs in the shelter. We wish for Marcello to soon find his people who want to give this young dog a positive future in a family environment. Marcello wants to experience and conquer life beyond all boundaries. Therefore, we are looking for a loving home for Marcello. It should allow him a calm and relaxed arrival. It is likely that Marcello has not yet experienced much in his previous life. Therefore, the young dog will need to be positively supported and accompanied in all his developmental steps. From learning to be housebroken, leash training, to learning how to deal with unfamiliar situations and events, up to basic obedience that still needs to be learned. With the supporting guidance of his future home, Marcello will be able to gradually grow into his new world of life. If you want to embark on a shared journey with Marcello and show him the beautiful sides of life, we look forward to your inquiry. Adopting a shelter dog always means taking on a special responsibility and can also be a challenge. The dogs come with a backpack of past experiences or unlearned situations and need time to adjust to their new life. If you have a serious interest in adopting Marcello, please contact the responsible adoption officer from SALVA Dog Rescue. We would also be very happy if you could provide a foster home. The contact details can be found below. Here are the videos of Marcello Video 1 Video 2

Lebensplatz gesucht! Der junge Marcello wurde von Tierschützer:innen in unserem spanischen Partnertierheim abgegeben. Über seine Vorgeschichte können wir von daher keine Auskünfte geben. Bei seiner Aufnahme zeigte er sich als sehr beeindruckt und leicht überfordert von dem Trubel im Tierheim. Dieses legte sich jedoch relativ schnell und im Zwinger kam bereits sein freundliches und fröhliches Wesen zum Vorschein. Mittlerweile genießt Marcello Zuwendungen und auch Spazierengehen sehr. Er sehnt sich nach menschlicher Nähe. Mit den anderen Hunden im Tierheim zeigt sich Marcello als sozialverträglich. Wir wünschen uns für Marcello, dass er bald seine Menschen finden darf, die dem jungen Rüden eine positive Zukunft in einem familiären Umfeld ermöglichen wollen. Marcello möchte das Leben außerhalb aller Begrenzungen kennenlernen und für sich erobern dürfen. Von daher suchen wir nach einem liebevollen Zuhause für Marcello. Dieses sollte ihm ein ruhiges und entspanntes Ankommen ermöglichen. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass Marcello noch nicht viel in seinem bisherigen Leben kennenlernen durfte. So wird der junge Rüde bei all seinen Entwicklungsschritten positiv unterstützt und begleitet werden müssen. Angefangen von dem Erlernen der Stubenreinheit, Leinenführigkeit, über das Erlernen im Umgang mit unbekannten Situationen/Ereignissen bis hin zu einem noch zu erlernenden Grundgehorsam. Mit der unterstützenden Begleitung seines zukünftigen Zuhauses, wird Marcello Schritt für Schritt in seine neue Lebenswelt hineinwachsen können. Sie wollen sich mit Marcello auf einen gemeinsamen Weg begeben und ihm die schönen Seiten des Lebens zeigen, dann freuen wir uns auf Ihre Anfrage. Die Adoption eines Tierschutzhundes bedeutet immer die Übernahme einer besonderen Verantwortung und kann auch zu einer Herausforderung werden. Die Hunde bringen einen Rucksack mit vergangenen Erlebnissen oder ungelernten Situationen mit und benötigen Zeit zur Eingewöhnung in ihr neues Leben. Sollten Sie ernsthaftes Interesse an einer Adoption von Marcello 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 Kontaktdaten finden Sie weiter unten. Hier geht es zu den Videos von Marcello Video 1 Video 2

About Marcello

What life with Marcello looks like

Marcello is a young adult mixed breed 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.
