How do I contact the shelter about Slowly?

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 Slowly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Slowly 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 Slowly 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 Slowly 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 Slowly 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.

Slowly

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 6 years

Slowly - in the calm lies strength. The name is the program! Slowly is a very, very calm and friendly dog, one could even say he is lazy. A real couch potato who prefers to spend the day lounging rather than making any effort. Labradors are generally considered to be calmer dogs, but Slowly surpasses them all. He goes about his business slowly and sometimes falls into what his caretakers jokingly call "modo mopa," the mop mode. Slowly behaves respectfully towards other dogs as long as they do not approach him aggressively and disturb his peace. The handsome male dog is very affectionate towards people and loves being spoiled and petted. He then happily stretches out his belly. He simply enjoys spending time with people and is also compatible with cats. Suitable for his completely laid-back character, he does not like commotion and is absolutely not a dog for active people. Do you also prefer to take it easy? A dog who is not constantly looking for the next activity would suit you? You have a large sofa and would like to share it with a four-legged companion? Then our nice slacker might fit well with you. Unfortunately, there is currently no video of Slowly. If there is serious interest, his adoption officer will try to get one.

Slowly – in der Ruhe liegt die Kraft Der Name ist Programm! Slowly ist ein sehr, sehr ruhiger und freundlicher Hund, man könnte auch sagen, er ist faul. Ein echter Couch-Potato, der lieber den Tag verdöst, statt sich irgendwie anzustrengen. Labradore gelten allgemein als eher ruhigere Hunde, aber Slowly toppt sie alle. Gemächlich geht er seiner Wege und verfällt manchmal in das, was seine Betreuer scherzhaft als „modo mopa“, den Wischmopp-Modus bezeichnen. Slowly verhält sich respektvoll gegenüber anderen Hunden, solange sie ihm nicht aggressiv begegnen und ihn in seiner Ruhe stören. Der hübsche Rüde ist sehr anhänglich gegenüber Menschen und er liebt es sehr, verwöhnt und gekrault zu werden. Genüsslich streckt er dann seinen Bauch entgegen. Er mag es einfach, Zeit mit Menschen zu verbringen und ist auch mit Katzen verträglich. Passend zu seinem durch und durch gechillten Charakter mag er keinen Trubel und ist absolut kein Hund für sportliche Menschen. Sie lassen es auch gerne gemütlich angehen? Ein Hund, der nicht den ganzen Tag Ausschau nach der nächsten Aktivität hält, gefällt Ihnen? Sie haben ein großes Sofa und würden es gerne mit einem Vierbeiner teilen? Dann könnte unser netter Faulpelz prima zu Ihnen passen. Leider gibt es aktuell kein Video von Slowly. Bei ernsthaftem Interesse würde seine Vermittlerin sich darum bemühen, eins zu bekommen.

About Slowly

What life with Slowly looks like

Slowly is a large adult labrador retriever 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.
