Olivo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Olivo – Who will finally give this special guy his chance? Since January 2024, the handsome mixed-breed male dog Olivo has been waiting at the Spanish animal shelter for his very own happiness – and has made impressive progress during this time. Initially, Olivo is somewhat reserved and selective towards strangers. However, he now opens his heart to people he knows. He can now truly enjoy cuddles and affection. Once his trust is won, Olivo shows how much affection and loyalty are within him. Therefore, we wish for him a home without small children where his sensitive side is understood and where he is met with patience and understanding. Olivo especially loves the rare walks – they are the highlight of his day! While he still finds the harness a bit uncomfortable, he is making steady progress here as well. He already runs well on the leash and would be very happy to accompany his people during outdoor activities. Olivo gets along well with fellow animals and shows himself to be a compatible male dog at the animal shelter. Olivo had already secured his ticket to happiness – but a day before his travel arrangements were canceled because a positive test for heartworms was discovered. The treatment has already begun in Spain and must continue in Germany. This is manageable and does not affect his future. Olivo can still lead a long, fulfilling, and happy life despite this diagnosis – if given the chance. Would you like to give Olivo a home where he can finally belong? He will repay you with his love and essence many times over. Olivo would also be very happy with a foster home – that would be his first step into a new life. Contact his mediator if you want to help Olivo.

Olivo – Wer gibt diesem besonderen Kerl endlich seine Chance? Seit Januar 2024 wartet der hübsche Mischlingsrüde Olivo im spanischen Tierheim auf sein ganz persönliches Glück – und hat in dieser Zeit eine beeindruckende Entwicklung gemacht. Fremden gegenüber ist Olivo zunächst etwas zurückhaltend und wählerisch. Doch Menschen, die er kennt, schließt er inzwischen sehr ins Herz. Streicheleinheiten und liebevolle Zuwendung kann er mittlerweile richtig genießen. Hat man einmal sein Vertrauen gewonnen, zeigt Olivo, wie viel Zuneigung und Treue in ihm stecken. Daher wünschen wir uns für ihn ein Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder, wo man seine sensible Seite versteht und ihm mit Ruhe und Geduld begegnet. Besonders liebt Olivo die seltenen Spaziergänge – sie sind für ihn das Highlight des Tages! Das Anlegen des Geschirrs ist ihm zwar noch etwas unangenehm, aber auch hier macht er stetige Fortschritte. An der Leine läuft er bereits richtig gut und hätte große Freude daran, seine Menschen bei Outdoor-Aktivitäten zu begleiten. Mit Artgenossen versteht sich Olivo gut und zeigt sich im Tierheim als verträglicher Rüde. Olivo hatte sein Ticket ins Glück eigentlich schon in der Pfote – doch einen Tag vor seiner Ausreise wurde ihm abgesagt, weil ein positiver Test auf Herzwürmer festgestellt. Wurde. Die Behandlung wird umgehend in Spanien begonnen und muss in Deutschland fortgesetzt werden. Das ist gut machbar und beeinträchtigt seine Zukunft nicht. Olivo kann trotz dieser Diagnose ein langes, erfülltes und glückliches Leben führen – wenn man ihm die Chance dazu gibt. Möchten Sie Olivo ein Zuhause schenken, in dem er endlich ankommen darf? Er wird es Ihnen mit seiner Liebe und seinem Wesen vielfach zurückgeben. Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde sich Olivo sehr freuen – das wäre sein erster Schritt in ein neues Leben. Kontaktieren Sie seine Vermittlerin, wenn Sie Olivo helfen möchten. Hier geht’s zu Olivos Video Hier geht’s zu Olivos Video auf einer Pflegestelle

About Olivo

What life with Olivo looks like

Olivo is a large 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. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Olivo, answered.

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