How do I contact the shelter about Dia?

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

Can I adopt Dia 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 Dia 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 Dia 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 Dia 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.

Dia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Dia received shelter and food from a nonprofit organization in Sânmartin (Romania). Unfortunately, she couldn't stay there permanently, so the SOS Dogs animal shelter in Sisterea was asked for help to ensure that this little dog wouldn't have to return to the streets. Dia was taken in by the shelter in July 2026. There, she’s eagerly waiting for a real home—and now ITV Grenzenlos is looking for just such a home for her. The cheerful and likeable Dia has a lot of zest for life and always wants to do something new and learn new things. She’s smart, curious, and ready to play. She’s also well-suited for beginners or families with children. Dia has plenty of energy and needs to be kept sufficiently occupied and active. Of course, she still needs good guidance and training. Ideally, she’d find a home with a garden and lots of space to run around and play. It would also be great if there were already a dog at the home for her to play with. Dia walks nicely on a leash. This sunshine of a dog will become a loyal and loving companion. Dia was born in June 2024 and stands 40 cm tall. She’s spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Before being rehomed, she’ll also undergo a rapid blood test. She’s travel-ready and could leave with the next transport organized by ITV Grenzenlos. Dia will arrive in Germany on August 8th and be placed in a foster home in Bergen. Please call if you’d like to help this little dog: . Dia in the video:

Dia hat bei einem gemeinnützigen Verein in Sânmartin (Rumänien) Schutz und Futter bekommen. Leider konnte sie auf Dauer nicht dort bleiben und das Tierheim von SOS Dogs in Sisterea wurde um Hilfe gebeten, damit die kleine Hündin nicht wieder auf die Straße musste. Dia wurde im Juli 2026 im Tierheim aufgenommen. Am 08.08.2026 durfte sie ausreisen und ist jetzt auf einer Pflegestelle des ITV Grenzenlos bei Celle. Dort war sie von Anfang an stubenrein und zeigt sich als sehr menschenbezogen. Sie liebt es zu kuscheln, gestreichelt zu werden und liegt gern mit ihren Menschen gemeinsam auf dem Sofa. Sie kennt bereits Kinder jeden Alters und versteht sich mit ihnen gut. Nur beim Fressen sollte man sie in Ruhe lassen und Abstand halten. Das ist verständlich, da sie auf der Straße in Rumänien ihr Futter verteidigen musste. Dia geht sehr gern spazieren und läuft super an der Leine. Bei frontalen Begegnungen mit Menschen und anderen Hunden reagiert sie noch unsicher, das wird aber geübt und wird immer besser. Im Garten möchte sie Katzen und Hühnern hinterher jagen, im Haus scheint sie die Katzen aber zu tolerieren. Dia hat sehr gern Menschen um sich herum und wäre vermutlich auch als Bürohund geeignet, wenn sie sich eingelebt hat. Die kleine Hündin könnte sowohl an eine Einzelperson als auch an eine Familie mit Kindern vermittelt werden. Sie wird nach einer Eingewöhnungszeit eine treue und liebevolle Begleiterin werden. Dia ist im Juni 2024 geboren und knapp 40 cm groß. Sie ist kastriert, gechipt und geimpft. Vor der Ausreise bekam sie einen Blutschnelltest mit negativen Ergebnis. Sie befindet sich in Bergen bei einer Familie in Pflege. Bitte rufen sie an, wenn sie der kleinen Hündin helfen möchten: oder . Dia im Video:

About Dia

What life with Dia looks like

Dia is a medium-sized 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. 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.
