How do I contact the shelter about Willy?

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

Can I adopt Willy 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 Willy 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 Willy 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 Willy 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.

Willy

Rottweiler · Male · Young · 1 year

Willy—a friendly Rottweiler—is looking for his chance. The young male Rottweiler Willy arrived at our partner animal shelter in Spain together with his sister, Love. For both of them, a new chapter in life has begun—one that we hope will soon continue in a loving home. Willy appears slightly more open than his sister and meets people in a friendly and interested manner. Nevertheless, he too still has much to learn about the basics of dog behavior and life in a family. With loving guidance, patience, and clear routines, he’ll surely develop into a loyal companion. As is typical for his breed, we’d like Willy to be adopted by people who enjoy working with their dog and providing him with the necessary security and orientation. Like his sister, Willy is affected by leishmaniasis. However, with proper treatment and regular care, dogs affected by this disease can often lead a completely normal, happy life. Therefore, his condition shouldn’t be an obstacle to giving him a chance. His foster carer will gladly provide you with detailed information about the disease, its treatment, and everything else you need to know. You can find more information on leishmaniasis on our information page. Willy is waiting for people who don’t just notice his sturdy build but also see the friendly, lovable dog beneath it. Anyone who gives him time to settle in and build trust will gain a loyal companion for life. Click here to watch Willy’s video!

Willy – ein freundlicher Rottweiler sucht seine Chance Der junge Rottweilerrüde Willy kam gemeinsam mit seiner Schwester Love in unser spanisches Partnertierheim. Für die beiden hat ein neuer Lebensabschnitt begonnen – einer, der hoffentlich schon bald in einem liebevollen Zuhause weitergeht. Willy zeigt sich etwas offener als seine Schwester und begegnet den Menschen freundlich und interessiert. Dennoch muss auch er das Hunde-ABC und das Leben in einer Familie erst noch kennenlernen. Mit liebevoller Führung, Geduld und klaren Strukturen wird er sich sicher zu einem treuen Begleiter entwickeln. Rassetypisch wünschen wir uns für Willy Menschen, die Freude daran haben, mit ihrem Hund zu arbeiten und ihm die nötige Sicherheit und Orientierung geben. Wie seine Schwester ist auch Willy an Leishmaniose erkrankt. Mit der richtigen Behandlung und regelmäßiger Versorgung können betroffene Hunde jedoch oft ein ganz normales, glückliches Leben führen. Seine Erkrankung sollte deshalb kein Hindernis sein, ihm eine Chance zu schenken. Seine Vermittlerin informiert Sie gerne ausführlich über das Krankheitsbild, die Behandlung und alles, was Sie dazu wissen sollten. Weitere Informationen zum Thema Leishmaniose finden Sie auf unserer Informationsseite. Willy wartet auf Menschen, die nicht nur seine kräftige Statur sehen, sondern auch den freundlichen, liebenswerten Hund dahinter. Wer ihm Zeit gibt, anzukommen und Vertrauen zu fassen, wird einen loyalen Begleiter fürs Leben gewinnen. Hier geht’s zu Willys Video

About Willy

What life with Willy looks like

Willy is a young adult rottweiler dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

An young 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.
