How do I contact the shelter about Swantje?

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

Can I adopt Swantje 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 Swantje 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 Swantje 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 Swantje 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.

Swantje

Mixed Breed · Female

Swantje - a young beauty Swantje is a typical young dog, playful, curious, and very compatible with other dogs. She has met many different animals at her foster home and is generally compatible with cats, although her playfulness sometimes still comes through. Traveling by car goes smoothly, and she has already been on the road with an RV. Visits to the city and changing locations were no problem for her. She loves the garden and likes to run around and play with her dog friends. Since she is quite food motivated, she can be well guided and trained with food rewards. She has made great progress at her foster home and learns something new every day. Swantje is affectionate, enjoys cuddling, and is always full of enthusiasm. When she sees her leash and harness, she is right there and is excited for the walk. She is not suitable for life in the city, where she would not feel comfortable. Swantje needs time to build trust; she is rather submissive and cautious, needing a bit of patience to get to know new people and trust them. There are young children in her foster family, and that is no problem for Swantje. We are looking for a rural home for her, preferably with an existing dog, for active people who want to do things with their dog and accompany Swantje's further development together. Swantje is ready and well-prepared for her forever home - maybe with you? Here is Swantje's video Here is Video 2

Swantje – eine junge Schönheit Swantje ist eine typische Junghündin, verspielt, neugierig und sehr gut verträglich mit anderen Hunden. Sie hat auf ihrer Pflegestelle viele verschiedene Tiere kennengelernt und auch mit Katzen ist sie grundsätzlich verträglich, wobei ihr Spieltrieb manchmal noch durchkommt. Autofahren klappt problemlos, auch mit dem Camper war sie bereits unterwegs. Stadtbesuche und wechselnde Orte waren kein Problem für sie. Sie liebt den Garten und flitzt und spielt gerne mit ihren Hundefreunden. Da sie recht verfressen ist, kann man sie mit Futterbelohnungen gut anleiten und erziehen. Sie hat auf der Pflegestelle schon tolle Fortschritte gemacht lernt jeden Tag dazu. Swantje ist verschmust, kuschelt gerne und ist immer voller Tatendrang. Wenn sie die Leine und ihr Geschirr sieht, ist sie sofort da und freut sich auf den Spaziergang. Für ein Leben in der Stadt ist sie nicht geeignet, dort würde sie sich nicht wohlfühlen. Swantje benötigt Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen, sie ist eine eher unterwürfige und vorsichtige Hündin, die ein wenig Geduld braucht, um neue Menschen kennenzulernen und ihnen zu vertrauen. In ihrer Pflegefamilie gibt es junge Kinder und auch das ist für Swantje kein Problem. Für sie suchen wir ein ländliches Zuhause, gerne mit einem bereits vorhandenen Hund bei aktiven Menschen, die Lust darauf haben, mit ihrem Hund etwas zu unternehmen und den weiteren Entwicklungsweg gemeinsam mit Swantje zu gehen. Swantje ist bereit und gut vorbereitet für ihr Für-immer-Zuhause – vielleicht bei Ihnen? Hier geht’s zu Swantjes Video Hier geht’s zu Video 2

About Swantje

What life with Swantje looks like

Swantje is a adult mixed breed 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. 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
