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. Love durfte schon kurz danach nach Deutschland reisen, jetzt soll Willy auch an der Reihe sein. Willy ist ein sehr liebevoller Rüde 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 unglaublich freundlichen, verschmusten, 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.

A 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Willy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Willy?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. whether they will for Willy, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Willy already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. lists Willy as neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by SALVA Hundehilfe e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Willy isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
