Pollicino

Podenco · Male · Adult · 7 years

Pollicino is a great guy. Anyone who chooses Pollicino gets a super friendly, loving, open-minded and relaxed dog. When putting on his harness for a walk, he remained patiently still, and during the walk he walked properly on the leash without pulling. He stayed by the person's side and watched what the person was doing. Pollicino is a great male dog who will surely bring joy into the home - he has something of a good soul. Who will finally give this sweet male dog a chance at a home? 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 this sweet male dog a home? Pollicino would also be happy about a foster home. Here is Pollicino's video.

Pollicino ist ein großartiger Kerl Wer sich für Pollicino entscheidet, bekommt einen super freundlichen, lieben, aufgeschlossenen und entspannten Hund. Beim Anziehen für den Spaziergang hielt er geduldig still und auch beim Spaziergang lief er ordentlich an der Leine, ohne zu ziehen. Er blieb beim Menschen und schaute, was dieser vor hat. Pollicino ist ein toller Rüde, der sicherlich Freude ins Haus bringt – er hat etwas von einer guten Seele. Wer gibt dem süßen Rüden endlich die Chance auf ein Zuhause? 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 Pollicino sich freuen. Hier geht’s zu Pollicinos Video

About Pollicino

What life with Pollicino looks like

Pollicino is a large adult podenco 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 Pollicino, answered.

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