How do I contact the shelter about Alba?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ITV Grenzenlos e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Alba if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ITV Grenzenlos 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 Alba 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 Alba 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 ITV Grenzenlos e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alba and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Alba

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Animal caretaker Janni saw the beautiful Alba on the street in Sisterea/Romania. He stopped, and Alba immediately ran to him and jumped into the car. She was probably abandoned there. Alba came through ITV Grenzenlos on May 9, 2026, to Germany and is now in a foster home in Brelingen. The beautiful white Alba is an easygoing and sociable female dog. She adapts well and is very modest. However, if there are cuddles to give, Alba is right there and enjoys the affection very much. She gets along well with the two female dogs in the foster family and learns from them. She wants to do everything right and is very attentive. She is a balanced and strong personality. Alba has certainly experienced a lot of bad things and is therefore still somewhat reserved and insecure in some situations. However, she learns quickly and knows how to behave in the house. Alba likes to go for walks and spends a lot of time in the garden. There she lies down and enjoys her life in safety. Whoever adopts Alba gains a loving and endearing companion for life, who will surely thank with loyalty and devotion. Alba was born in January 2023 and is 50 cm tall. In Sisterea she was microchipped, vaccinated and spayed. Before her trip to Germany she had a blood test for heartworms with a negative result. If you take a liking to this brave female dog, please call: 05071 - 4126 or . Alba in the video:

Tierpfleger Janni hat die schöne Alba auf der Straße in Sisterea/Rumänien gesehen. Er hat angehalten, und Alba ist gleich zu ihm gelaufen und ins Auto gesprungen. Sie war wahrscheinlich dort ausgesetzt worden. Alba kam durch den ITV Grenzenlos am 09.05.2026 nach Deutschland und ist jetzt in einer Pflegestelle in Brelingen. Die hübsche weiße Alba ist eine unkomplizierte und sozial verträgliche Hündin. Sie passt sich an und ist sehr bescheiden. Wenn es aber Streicheleinheiten zu vergeben gibt, ist Alba sofort dabei und genießt die Zuwendungen sehr. Sie verträgt sich gut mit den zwei Hündinnen der Pflegefamilie und lernt von ihnen. Sie möchte alles richtig machen und ist sehr aufmerksam. Sie ist eine ausgeglichene und starke Persönlichkeit. Alba hat sicherlich auch viel Schlimmes erlebt und ist deshalb in manchen Situationen noch etwas zurückhaltend und unsicher. Sie lernt jedoch schnell und weiß sich im Haus zu benehmen. Alba geht gern spazieren und hält sich viel im Garten auf. Sie liegt dort und genießt ihr Leben in Sicherheit. Wer Alba adoptiert, gewinnt eine anhängliche und liebenswerte Begleiterin fürs Leben, die sich bestimmt mit Treue und Loyalität bedankt Alba wurde im Januar 2023 geboren und ist 50 cm groß. In Sisterea wurde sie gechipt, geimpft und kastriert. Vor ihrer Reise nach Deutschland bekam sie einen Bluttest auf Herzwürmer mit negativem Ergebnis. Falls Sie Gefallen an dieser braven Hündin finden, rufen Sie bitte an: 05071 – 4126 oder . Alba im Video:

About Alba

What life with Alba looks like

Alba is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ITV Grenzenlos e.V. in Essel.

An young 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.
