How do I contact the shelter about Silvan in Portugal?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pro Dog International e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Silvan in Portugal on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Silvan in Portugal if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pro Dog International 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 Silvan in Portugal 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 Silvan in Portugal 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 Pro Dog International e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Silvan in Portugal 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.

Silvan in Portugal

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Male / neutered Age: born 01.02.2016 Location: Shelter / Portugal Compatibility: males, females, cats & children Our little Silvan sits on his packed suitcases in our partner animal shelter waiting to be seen so he can move into his "forever home". Silvan is a small, sweet and quiet male who loves people. He also shows himself to be compatible and social with other dogs. A few teeth had to be removed from Silvan. He has recovered well from the operation, he's doing well and is ready for his new family. A cat test was also carried out where he reacted positively to cats. Although the cat test came back positive, this does not guarantee future behavior with domestic house cats. Since we do not know what Silvan has already experienced in his life, we assume that he still needs a bit of learning. This includes dog ABC, leash training, litter box training and all the things that belong to normal dog and family life. It should be noted that every animal welfare dog, especially with regard to its past, brings its own story. Therefore, we can never predict how the dog will actually develop and react to living together in Germany with you / you. Silvan can travel to a foster or final home.

Geschlecht: männlich/kastriert Alter: geb. 01.02.2016 Standort: Shelter/Portugal Verträglichkeit: Rüden, Weibchen, Katzen & Kinder Unser kleiner Silvan sitzt auf seinen gepackten Koffern in unserem Partnertierheim und wartet darauf, gesehen zu werden, damit er in sein “Für-immer-Zuhause” ziehen darf. Silvan ist ein kleiner, süßer und ruhiger Rüde, der Menschen liebt. Zudem zeigt er sich verträglich und sozial mit anderen Hunden. Silvan mussten ein paar Zähnchen entfernt werden. Er hat sich von der Operation gut erholt, es geht ihm gut und ist bereit für seine neue Familie. Ein Katzentest wurde ebenfalls durchgeführt, wo er positiv auf Katzen reagierte. Auch wenn der Katzentest positiv ausfiel, stellt dies keine Garantie für das zukünftige Verhalten mit den heimischen Hauskatzen dar. Da wir nicht wissen, was Silvan in seinem Leben schon alles kennengelernt hat, gehen wir davon aus, dass er noch ein bisschen lernen darf. Dazu gehören das Hunde-ABC, Leinenführigkeit, Stubenreinheit und all die Sachen, die zu einem normalen Hunde- und Familienleben gehören. Anzumerken ist, dass jeder Tierschutzhund, gerade auch im Hinblick auf seine Vergangenheit, seine eigene Geschichte mitbringt. Wir können deshalb nie vorhersagen, wie der Hund sich tatsächlich entwickelt und auf das Zusammenleben in Deutschland mit dir/euch reagieren wird. Silvan kann auf eine Pflege- oder Endstelle reisen.

About Silvan in Portugal

What life with Silvan in Portugal looks like

Silvan in Portugal is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Pro Dog International e.V. in Talkau.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
