Velko

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Velko wurde als Junghund am Friedhof von Provadia in Bulgarien ausgesetzt. Offensichtlich ließ man ihn dort zurück, weil er an einer Hautkrankheit litt und sichtbar Schmerzen beim Laufen hatte. Velko versteckte sich voller Angst im Gebüsch und schnappte nach jedem, der sich versuchte ihm zu nähern. Doch die Tierschützerinnen von Priceless Friends ließen sich davon nicht abschrecken und sicherten den kleinen Rüden. Und das war Velkos großes Glück. Denn dadurch erhielt er eine umfassende medizinische Versorgung und erfreut sich längst wieder bester Gesundheit. Trotzdem zeigt sich Velko nach wie vor ängstlich gegenüber Menschen. Nähern sich ihm Fremde, dann schnappt er nach ihnen. Nur vertrauten Bezugspersonen zeigt er sein liebevolles, fröhliches und verspieltes Wesen. Bei Artgenossen entscheidet bei Velko stets die Sympathie. Auf Katzen reagiert er freundlich. Bei Velko wurde nach seiner Sicherung eine Patellaluxation erfolgreich operiert. Außerdem wurde er gegen Ehrlichiose behandelt – denn obwohl er frei von Symptomen war, zeigte der Bluttest ein positives Ergebnis. Für Velko suchen wir ein ländliches Zuhause bei erfahrenen und liebevollen Menschen, die dazu bereit sind, sich sein Vertrauen mit viel Geduld und Einfühlungsvermögen zu erarbeiten. Ehrlichiose positiv, sonst negativ (4D Snap Test für Ehrlichiose, Anaplasmose, Herzwurm, Borreliose) Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. ©

About Velko

What life with Velko looks like

Velko is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. in Hamburg.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Velko, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Velko?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Velko on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Velko if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland 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 Velko 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 Velko 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 Look-Tierschutzverein Deutschland e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Velko 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.
