How do I contact the shelter about Silva?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Menschen für Tiere handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Silva on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Silva if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Menschen für Tiere 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 Silva 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 Silva 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 Menschen für Tiere early rather than rehoming privately; they know Silva 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.

Silva

Mixed Breed · Female

Silva 05/2019 | female Silva brings an advanced anxiety problem. Trust develops with her only slowly and must be earned anew. She is not a dog for casual care and is not suitable for beginners. People with experience, patience, and the ability to act calmly, clearly, and reliably are sought. Those willing to invest time and accept setbacks can build a long-term bond. Those expecting quick closeness should refrain from adoption. Hello, I am Silva, I came to the Schlatthof as a puppy with my sister Ondra. I am still very afraid of everything I don't know. I get along well with the other dogs in my pack. I play and hunt through the enclosures. With strangers, I prefer to keep a safe distance. I have trusted people with whom I open up more and with whom I also like to go for walks. I need special people who, with great patience, gradually earn my trust. People who bring the world of the Schlatthof closer to my doorstep with great patience and do not give up on me because I need more time. If you stick with it, I will definitely be a great companion! What would really help me is a four-legged partner who already lives with you and on whom I can model myself. This is a young, adolescent dog.

Hallo, ich bin Silva, ich kam als Junghund mit meiner Schwester Ondra auf den Schlatthof. Ich habe noch große Angst vor allem was ich nicht kenne. Mit den anderen Hunden in meinem Rudel komme ich gut klar. Ich spiele und jage durch die Gehege. Bei fremden Menschen halte ich lieber Sicherheitsabstand. Ich habe Bezugspersonen, denen ich mich mehr öffne und mit denen ich auch gerne Gassi gehe. Ich brauche besondere Menschen, die mit sehr viel Geduld Stück für Stück mein Vertrauen gewinnen. Menschen, die mir mit viel Geduld die Welt vor den Toren des Schlatthofs näher bringen und mich nicht aufgeben, weil ich mehr Zeit brauche.Wenn Du dran bleibst werde ich mit Sicherheit eine tolle Begleiterin! Was mir sehr helfen würde, wäre ein Partner auf 4 Pfoten, der schon bei Dir lebt & an dem ich mich orientieren kann. Jetzt Anfrage schicken Silva Silva Silva Ondra & Silva

About Silva

What life with Silva looks like

Silva is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Menschen für Tiere in Oberndorf a.N..

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.
