Sofi

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Sofi - Collie mix - finally arrived in life, now all that's missing is her forever home Sofi knows what it means to fight for survival. The pretty Collie mix was found completely emaciated on the street. In search of something edible, she had to somehow get by and try to survive every day. But these times are fortunately a thing of the past. Sofi has recovered wonderfully, regained weight and is today a strong, happy dog ready to start a new life. Sofi is incredibly loving, playful and brings a lot of joy into everyday life with her cheerful, entertaining nature. She loves being close to people, enjoys petting and just wants to belong. She also shows herself to be compatible with other dogs and is looking forward to discovering her new world together with her people. After everything Sofi had to experience, we wish her a home where she can finally arrive. People who give her love, security and safety and show her that life still has so much beauty to offer. Who wants to show this enchanting dog how beautiful life can be in a family of her own? Sofi has a place on the transport on 11/21 and could travel to a foster home in 73614 if you find a forever home right away, it would be all the better. Possible pickup locations would be Freiburg, Ettlingen, Frankfurt, Hannover or Cologne. Here's Sofi's video

Collie Mischling Sofi – endlich angekommen im Leben, jetzt fehlt nur noch ihr Für-immer-Zuhause Sofi weiß, was es bedeutet, ums Überleben kämpfen zu müssen. Die hübsche Collie-Mischlingshündin wurde völlig abgemagert auf der Straße gefunden. Auf der Suche nach etwas Essbarem musste sie sich irgendwie durchschlagen und jeden Tag aufs Neue versuchen, zu überleben. Doch diese Zeiten gehören glücklicherweise der Vergangenheit an. Sofi hat sich wunderbar erholt, wieder an Gewicht zugelegt und ist heute eine kräftige, glückliche Hündin, die bereit ist, endlich in ein neues Leben zu starten. Sofi ist unglaublich liebevoll, verspielt und bringt mit ihrer fröhlichen, unterhaltsamen Art jede Menge Freude in den Alltag. Sie liebt die Nähe zu Menschen, genießt Streicheleinheiten und möchte einfach dazugehören. Auch mit anderen Hunden zeigt sie sich verträglich und freut sich darauf, ihre neue Welt gemeinsam mit ihren Menschen zu entdecken. Nach allem, was Sofi erleben musste, wünschen wir uns für sie ein Zuhause, in dem sie endlich ankommen darf. Menschen, die ihr Liebe, Geborgenheit und Sicherheit schenken und ihr zeigen, dass das Leben noch so viel Schönes bereithält. Wer möchte dieser bezaubernden Hündin zeigen, wie schön ein Leben in einer eigenen Familie sein kann? Sofi hat einen Platz auf dem Transport am 21.11 sicher und könnte auf eine Pflegestelle in 73614 reisen, wenn Sie gleich ein Endzuhause findet, wäre es natürlich umso schöner. Mögliche Abholorte wären Freiburg, Ettlingen, Frankfurt , Hannover oder Köln. Hier geht’s zu Sofis Video

About Sofi

What life with Sofi looks like

Sofi is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

A young 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sofi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sofi?
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 Sofi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sofi 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Sofi 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 Sofi 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 Sofi 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.
