Soplo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Soplo – a heartbreaker with character. Just as sweet as he appears in the pictures, he has a firm grip behind his ears. Soplo tests his boundaries and occasionally questions a no. In the weeks at his foster home, he has already learned a lot; he is house-trained, leash-friendly, and masters basic commands like sit and stay. "Bleib" is currently being worked on, as well as recall. He now calms down well and eats with the pack, but we still need to keep an eye on him to ensure he doesn’t steal from the others or claim their snacks. Soplo requires consistent, but loving guidance; he is a dog that seeks physical closeness and positive affirmation. He greets all people joyfully and currently lives well integrated and socialized in a dog pack – he plays rather rough and shows a bit of self-assurance when meeting other dogs. He has already attended smaller training sessions for Carnicross and has overcome various climbing obstacles – here, he works with great enthusiasm and joy – agility, Carnicross, or dogscooter are certainly conceivable for the future. Soplo seeks dog-experienced people who can foster and challenge him appropriately. If you are aware of the responsibility and have fallen for the cuteness, please contact the responsible matchmaker. Here’s the link to Soplos videos:. Walks well on a leash.

Soplo – ein Herzensbrecher mit Charakter. So zuckersüß er auf den Bildern daher kommt, so faustdick hat er es hinter den Ohren. Soplo testet seine Grenzen aus und hinterfragt durchaus mal ein Nein. In den Wochen auf seiner Pflegestelle hat er schon einiges gelernt, er ist stubenrein, leinenführig und beherrscht die Grundkommandos wie Sitz und Platz, Bleib wird derzeit erarbeitet, ebenso der Rückruf. Er kommt mittlerweile gut zur Ruhe und frisst im Rudel, hier muss noch aufgepasst werden, dass er nicht bei den anderen klaut oder deren Knabbereien für sich beansprucht. Soplo benötigt eine konsequente, aber liebevolle Führung, er ist ein Hund der körperliche Nähe und positive Bestätigung sucht. Er begegnet allen Menschen freudig und lebt derzeit gut integriert und sozialisiert in einem Hunderudel – er spielt recht rüpelig und zeigt sich bei fremden Hunden durchaus etwas zu selbstbewusst. Er ist bereits auf kleinere Trainingsrunden zum Carnicross mitgekommen und hat verschiedene Kletterhindernisse bewältigt – hier arbeitet er mit großem Spaß und Begeisterung mit – Agility, Carnicross oder Dogscooter sind durchaus vorstellbar für die Zukunft. Soplo sucht Hundeerfahrene Menschen, die ihn entsprechend fördern und fordern. Wenn Sie sich der Verantwortung bewusst sind und sich in die Notnase verguckt haben, melden Sie sich gerne bei der zuständigen Vermittlerin. Hier gehts zu Soplos Videos: Video 1 und Video 2

About Soplo

What life with Soplo looks like

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

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Soplo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Soplo?
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 Soplo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Soplo 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 Soplo 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 Soplo 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 Soplo 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.
