Santos

Vizsla · Male · Adult · 5 years

07.08.2026 Our handsome Santos/Magnus is looking for a new home. Santos, who moved to his family in the Palatinate from Hungary at the beginning of the year, unfortunately has to leave his home again. Santos is a sturdy male dog in his prime, who, as it turned out, needs clear and consistent leadership to understand that he doesn't have to rule. We are therefore looking for a dog-experienced couple (without children) or an individual who also likes to mentally challenge him. Santos is a wonderful dog who also gets along well with his fellow dogs and even dog-friendly cats. We are sure that Santos will be a relaxed, loyal and loving companion with clear and consistent leadership. Santos was still tested positive for heartworm in Hungary through a routine laboratory test. Treatment was started immediately in Hungary. This treatment has been consistently continued by his family so far, so Santos will be completely rid of these parasites soon. Location: in the Ulm area.

07.08.2026 Unser bildschöner Santos/Magnus sucht ein neues Zuhause Santos, der Anfang des Jahres von Ungarn aus zu seiner Familie in die Pfalz gezogen ist, muss sein Zuhause leider wieder verlassen. Santos ist ein gestandener Rüde im besten Alter, der, wie sich herausgestellt hat, eine klare und konsequente Führung benötigt, um zu begreifen, dass er nichts regeln muss. Für Santos suchen wir daher ein hundeerfahrenes Paar (ohne Kinder) oder auch eine Einzelperson, die ihn auch kopfmäßig gern auslasten mag. Santos ist ein wundervoller Hund, der auch mit seinen Artgenossen und sogar hundeverträglichen Katzen gut auskommt. Wir sind uns sicher, dass Santos mit einer klaren und konsequenten Führung ein entspannter, treuer und liebevoller Begleiter wird. Santos wurde noch in Ungarn durch ein routinemäßig durchgeführtes Labor Herzwurm positiv getestet. Mit seiner Behandlung wurde in Ungarn sofort begonnen. Diese Behandlung wurde von seiner Familie bislang auch konsequent fortgeführt, sodass Santos diese Parasiten sicher zeitnah komplett los sein wird. Aufenthaltsort: im Raum Ulm.

About Santos

What life with Santos looks like

Santos is an adult vizsla dog waiting at Vizsla in Not 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Santos, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Santos?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Vizsla in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Santos on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Santos if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Vizsla in Not e.V. whether they will for Santos, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Santos already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Vizsla in Not e.V. lists Santos as neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Vizsla in Not e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Santos isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Vizsla in Not e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Santos 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.
