Silvestre

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Hello, I am Silvestre. After an adjustment phase, I am now really blossoming here. I love my regular walks and show myself to be very composed in most everyday situations. By now, I have already met some children, which went totally smoothly. In my new home, I look forward to regular walks, lots of cuddles, and otherwise a lot of peace and quiet so that I can also get my beauty sleep. I get along well with dogs, and even on walks, I do not grumble. Due to my long back, consistent movements are very important for me, as anything that involves abrupt changes in speed or direction could lead to problems for me in the long term. Stairs should also not be in my new home. I hope that I have piqued your interest and that you will visit me soon at the animal shelter.

Hallo, ich bin der Silvestre. Nach einer Eingewöhnungsphase blühe ich hier mittlerweile richtig auf. Ich liebe meine regelmäßigen Gassigänge und zeige mich sehr souverän in den meisten Alltagssituationen. Mittlerweile habe ich bereits Kinder kennenlernen dürfen, was total problemlos verlief. In meinem neuen zu Hause freue ich mich über regelmäßige Gassigänge, viele Streicheleinheiten und sonst viel Ruhe, damit ich auch meinen Schönheitsschlaf halten kann. Mit Hunden zeige ich mich gut verträglich, auch unterwegs murre ich da nicht rum. Aufgrund meines langen Rückens sind gleichbleibende Bewegungen für mich sehr wichtig, denn alles, was zu abrupte Tempo- oder Richtungswechsel beinhaltet, könnte langfristig zu Problemen bei mir führen. Treppen sollten in meinem neuen Zuhause auch keine sein. Ich hoffe, dass ich Euer Interesse geweckt habe und Ihr mich zeitnah im Tierheim besuchen kommt. Euer Silvestre

About Silvestre

What life with Silvestre looks like

Silvestre is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. in Remagen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Silvestre, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Silvestre?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Silvestre on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Silvestre if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. 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 Silvestre 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 Silvestre 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 Tierheim u. Tierschutzverein Kreis Ahrweiler e.V. / Tierheim Remagen. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Silvestre 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.
