How do I contact the shelter about Thelma?

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

Can I adopt Thelma 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 Thelma 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 Thelma 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 Thelma 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.

Thelma

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy

Thelma - young mixed-breed puppy is looking for a home Our Bulgarian partner animal shelter has recently taken in new puppies. Thelma arrived there with her five sisters and is now waiting to find a loving home or foster placement where she can start her life well. Thelma is a friendly, open and curious young dog. She is playful, social when interacting with other dogs and very people-oriented. She enjoys petting and approaches her environment with interest and typical puppy curiosity. She gets along well with humans and fellow dogs. For Thelma, we are looking for people who are willing to accompany a young dog through life with patience, time and love. She still needs to learn everything that a dog needs for everyday life - this includes house training, being left alone, driving in the car as well as safely getting to know new environmental influences. With clear, loving guidance and positive reinforcement, she will develop well and grow into a loyal companion. Thelma wants to be promoted age-appropriately and discover the world step by step with her humans. It is possible that she carries parts of a livestock guardian dog in herself. Therefore, interested parties should familiarize themselves with the breed-typical characteristics. A rural home with securely fenced garden would be particularly suitable for her. Who wants to give Thelma a home or accompany her as a foster placement on her way through life? Adopting an animal from a shelter always means taking on special responsibility and can also become a challenge. The dogs bring a backpack with past experiences or unlearned situations and need time to settle into their new lives. If you are seriously interested in adopting Thelma, please contact the responsible mediator of SALVA Hundehilfe. We would also be very happy about the provision of a foster placement. Here is Thelma's video

Thelma – junge Mischlings-Hündin sucht ihr Zuhause In unserem bulgarischen Partnertierheim wurden erneut Welpen aufgenommen. Thelma ist gemeinsam mit ihren fünf Schwestern dort angekommen und wartet nun darauf, ein liebevolles Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle zu finden, in der sie gut ins Leben starten darf. Thelma ist eine freundliche, offene und neugierige junge Hündin. Sie zeigt sich verspielt, sozial im Umgang mit anderen Hunden und sehr menschenbezogen. Streicheleinheiten genießt sie sehr und begegnet ihrer Umwelt mit Interesse und typischer Welpenneugier. Mit Menschen und Artgenossen kommt sie gut zurecht. Für Thelma wünschen wir uns Menschen, die bereit sind, einen jungen Hund mit Geduld, Zeit und Liebe ins Leben zu begleiten. Sie muss noch alles lernen, was ein Hund für den Alltag braucht – dazu gehören Stubenreinheit, das Alleinbleiben, das Autofahren sowie das sichere Kennenlernen neuer Umwelteinflüsse. Mit klarer, liebevoller Führung und positiver Bestärkung wird sie sich gut entwickeln und zu einer loyalen Begleiterin heranwachsen. Thelma möchte altersgerecht gefördert werden und Schritt für Schritt gemeinsam mit ihren Menschen die Welt entdecken. Ein ländliches Zuhause mit sicher eingezäuntem Garten wäre für sie besonders geeignet. Wer möchte Thelma ein Zuhause schenken oder sie als Pflegestelle auf ihrem Weg ins Leben begleiten? Die Adoption eines Tierschutzhundes bedeutet immer die Übernahme einer besonderen Verantwortung und kann auch zu einer Herausforderung werden. Die Hunde bringen einen Rucksack mit vergangenen Erlebnissen oder ungelernten Situationen mit und benötigen Zeit zur Eingewöhnung in ihr neues Leben. Sollten Sie ernsthaftes Interesse an einer Adoption von Thelma haben, dann nehmen Sie bitte Kontakt zu der zuständigen Vermittlerin der SALVA Hundehilfe auf. Auch über die Bereitstellung einer Pflegestelle würden wir uns sehr freuen. Hier gehts zu Thelmas Video

About Thelma

What life with Thelma looks like

Thelma is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
