Muttley

Podenco · Male · Young · 1 year

Muttley is simply charming. The sweet dog just brings good mood. He is open-minded and cheerful. However, the little dog probably isn't familiar with life with humans yet. Therefore, he is looking for people who want to give him love, but also patience, to show him life outside the kennel. Who will give sweet Muttley this chance? Taking responsibility for a shelter dog is always a special challenge. The dogs come with a backpack of past experiences or unlearned situations and need time to get used to their new life. Would you like to take on the challenge and give the sweet dog a home? Muttley would also be happy about a foster home. Here is Muttley's video.

Muttley ist einfach zauberhaft. Der süße Rüde macht einfach gute Laune. Er ist aufgeschlossen und fröhlich. Dennoch kennt der kleine Rüde das Leben beim Menschen sicher noch nicht. Daher sucht er Menschen, die ihm Liebe geben möchten, aber auch Geduld haben, ihm das Leben außerhalb des Zwingers zu zeigen. Wer gibt dem süßen Muttley diese Chance? 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. Möchten Sie die Herausforderung annehmen und dem süßen Rüden ein Zuhause schenken? Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde Muttley sich freuen. Hier gehts zu Muttleys Video

About Muttley

What life with Muttley looks like

Muttley 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 Muttley, answered.

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