Adopt Sudoku

Border Collie · Male · Adult · 4 years

Sudoku-Gentle Guy is looking for his people. Sudoku has a good character, is social, listens to the helpers at the camp, and is playful. In new situations, he is shy because he knows nothing outside of the animal shelter. He still needs to get used to all kinds of everyday noises and doesn't even know how to walk on a leash yet. Sudoku gets along well with both male and female dogs and goes on the daily walk in the large group. He prefers the company of people over long walks. For Sudoku, we are looking for cozy and especially patient people who live in a more remote and quiet setting. It will take time for him to get used to all the normal and everyday things. Good luck, dear Sudoku, you deserve to have your people find you. If you are aware of the responsibility and have fallen in love with the idea, please contact the responsible matchmaker, and we would also be very happy to consider a foster home for you. This animal can be anxious in unfamiliar situations.

Sudoku-Gemütlicher Kerl sucht seine Menschen. Sudoku hat einen guten Charakter ist sozial, gehorcht den Helfern im Camp und ist verspielt. In neuen Situationen ist er ängstlich, da er außerhalb vom TIERHEIM nichts kennt. Er muss noch vorsichtig an jegliche Alltagsgeräusche gewöhnt werden und kennt auch das Gehen an der Leine noch gar nicht. Sudoku versteht sich sowohl mit Rüden wie auch mit Hündinnen bestens und geht in der großen Gruppe in den täglichen Auslauf. Er mag die Gesellschaft von Menschen eher als lange Spaziergänge. Für Sudoku suchen wir gemütliche und besonders geduldige Menschen, welche eher etwas abgelegen und ruhig leben. Es wird Zeit brauchen, bis er alles für uns Normale und Alltägliche kennengelernt hat. Viel Glück lieber Sudoku, du hast es so verdient, dass dich deine Menschen finden. Wenn Sie sich der Verantwortung bewusst sind und sich in die Notnase verguckt haben, melden Sie sich gerne bei der zuständigen Vermittlerin, auch über das Bereitstellen einer Pflegestelle, würde wir uns sehr freuen.

About Sudoku

What life with Sudoku looks like

Sudoku is a large adult border collie 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sudoku, answered.

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