Adopt Wilma

Podenco · Female · Young · 2 years

Podenco Wilma is looking for her person to cuddle with this way. Wilma is simply loving and open. She would like to spend all the time with a person, which of course is not possible at the animal shelter. The animal shelter is simply not the right place for such a people-oriented dog. She needs closeness and warmth. We assume, however, that she has not yet known life with a person. Who will give the sweet female dog the chance at a home? Taking care of an animal shelter dog is always a special challenge. The dogs bring a backpack full of past experiences or unlearned situations and need time to get used to their new life. Would you take on the challenge and give the sweet female dog a home? Wilma would also be happy with a foster home.

Podenco Wilma sucht auf diesem Weg ihren Menschen zum Kuscheln. Wilma ist einfach nur lieb und aufgeschlossen. Sie würde am liebsten die ganze Zeit mit einem Menschen verbringen, was im Tierheim natürlich nicht möglich ist. Das Tierheim ist eben einfach nicht der richtige Ort für so einen menschenbezogenen Hund. Sie braucht Nähe und Wärme. Wir gehen dennoch davon aus, dass sie das Leben beim Menschen bisher nicht kennt. Wer gibt der süßen Hündin die Chance auf ein Zuhause? Die Verantwortung für einen Tierschutzhund ist immer eine besondere Herausforderung. Die Hunde bringen einen Rucksack mit vergangenen Erlebnissen oder ungelernten Situationen mit und brauchen Zeit, sich an ihr neues Leben zu gewöhnen. Möchten Sie die Herausforderung annehmen und der süßen Hündin ein Zuhause schenken? Auch über eine Pflegestelle würde Wilma sich freuen. Hier gehts zu Wilmas Video

About Wilma

What life with Wilma looks like

Wilma is a young adult podenco 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Wilma, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Wilma?
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 Wilma on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Wilma 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 Wilma 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 Wilma 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 Wilma 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.
