How do I contact the shelter about Ulises?

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

Can I adopt Ulises 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 Ulises 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 Ulises 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 Ulises 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.

Ulises

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

A very special dog! Ulises has already been living in Germany for quite a while and is currently staying with a foster family. There, our gentle giant is warmly and lovingly cherished, as he is a real treasure who doesn't even know that he is so big and not a lap dog. Ulises is a great lover of people, who enjoys cuddling and always wants to be with his human. In his joy, he has already knocked over one or another vase from the table and can even open doors that open outward. Originally, Ulises comes from Spain. As a young dog, he must have had an accident there with complicated fractures. The operation was only moderately successful, and you can tell from his gait that he has some issues. However, he does not need medication, but one must be able to take this particularity into account. Especially on wet and cold days, a walk may then have to be a bit shorter. Looking ahead, the new home should be accessible without stairs. Would you like to offer Ulises this new home? Contact his rescuer, who can tell you much more about this special dog. Ulises has already been a guest on "Tiere suchen ein Zuhause." Through the following link, you can watch his contribution (and also his appearance in the broadcast from 23.11.25 in the media library).

Ein ganz besonderer Hund! Ulises lebt schon recht lange in Deutschland und befindet sich aktuell auf einer Pflegestelle. Dort wird unser sanfter Riese heiß und innig geliebt, denn er ist ein richtiger Schatz, der gar nicht weiß, dass er so groß und kein Schoßhund ist. Ulises ist ein großer Menschenfreund, der gerne kuschelt und immer bei seinem Menschen sein möchte. In seiner Freude hat er auch schon die eine oder andere Vase vom Tisch gewedelt und er kann sogar Türen aufklinken, die nach außen aufgehen. Ursprünglich kommt Ulises aus Spanien. Als Junghund muss er dort einen Unfall mit komplizierten Brüchen erlitten haben. Die Operation war mäßig erfolgreich, beim Laufen sieht man dem großen Rüden das am Gangbild an. Medikamente benötigt er jedoch nicht, aber auf diese Besonderheit muss man schon Rücksicht nehmen können. Insbesondere an nasskalten Tagen darf der Spaziergang dann einmal kürzer ausfallen. Mit Blick auf die Zukunft sollte das neue Zuhause möglichst treppenfrei erreichbar sein. Möchten Sie Ulises dieses neue Zuhause anbieten? Melden Sie sich bei seiner Vermittlerin, die Ihnen noch ganz viel über diesen besonderen Hund vorschwärmen kann. Ulises war auch schon Fernsehgast bei „Tiere suchen ein Zuhause“. Über den folgenden Link können Sie seinen Beitrag sehen (und in der Mediathek auch seinen Auftritt in der Sendung vom 23.11.25).

About Ulises

What life with Ulises looks like

Ulises is a extra-large 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. 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.
