How do I contact the shelter about Toby?

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

Can I adopt Toby 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 Toby 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 Toby 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 Toby 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.

Toby

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Toby - Mix breed dog looking for a home Toby is a handsome mixed breed male dog, about whose previous life we unfortunately know nothing. Having just arrived, he can now slowly settle down and show what kind of dog is in him. His previous level of training is also unknown to us so far. This also means that his future owners should be prepared that Toby will have to learn some things in his new home and work them out with them. We wish him a loving and responsible home where he can settle down in peace and get the time he needs to build trust and settle in. Patience, understanding and a consistent but fair upbringing will help him to develop into a safe and reliable companion. As soon as we get to know Toby better, we can of course tell more about his character, his compatibility and his needs. Until then we hope above all for people who give him a real chance and are willing to walk his path with him. Toby should not just be one of many dogs in the animal shelter. He deserves a real home where he can finally arrive. We always ask that the responsibility for a dog not be taken lightly. Nevertheless: The conscientious decision to offer a home for life to a dog in need also means gaining a friend for life. Click here for Toby's video

Toby – Mischling sucht sein Zuhause Toby ist ein hübscher Mischlingsrüde, über dessen bisheriges Leben wir leider nichts wissen. Gerade erst angekommen, darf er nun langsam zur Ruhe kommen und zeigen, was für ein Hund in ihm steckt. Auch sein bisheriger Erziehungsstand ist uns bisher nicht bekannt. Das bedeutet auch, dass seine zukünftigen Menschen darauf eingestellt sein sollten, dass Toby manche Dinge im neuen Zuhause erst kennenlernen und gemeinsam mit ihnen erarbeiten muss. Wir wünschen uns für ihn ein liebevolles und verantwortungsbewusstes Zuhause, in dem er in Ruhe ankommen darf und die nötige Zeit bekommt, Vertrauen aufzubauen und sich einzuleben. Geduld, Verständnis und eine konsequente, aber faire Erziehung werden ihm dabei helfen, sich zu einem sicheren und zuverlässigen Begleiter zu entwickeln. Sobald wir Toby besser kennenlernen, können wir natürlich mehr über seinen Charakter, seine Verträglichkeit und seine Bedürfnisse erzählen. Bis dahin hoffen wir vor allem auf Menschen, die ihm eine echte Chance geben und bereit sind, seinen Weg gemeinsam mit ihm zu gehen. Toby soll nicht einfach einer von vielen Hunden im Tierheim bleiben. Er verdient ein echtes Zuhause, in dem er endlich ankommen darf. Wir bitten immer darum, die Verantwortung für einen Hund nicht leichtfertig zu übernehmen. Trotzdem: Die gewissenhafte Entscheidung, einem Hund in Not ein Zuhause für immer anzubieten, bedeutet auch, einen Freund fürs Leben zu gewinnen. Hier geht’s zu Tobys Video

About Toby

What life with Toby looks like

Toby 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.
