How do I contact the shelter about Diego?

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

Can I adopt Diego 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 Diego 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 Diego 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 Diego 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.

Diego

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Diego, a large, dignified "prince" on four legs, born around July 2022. He arrived at our partner animal shelter in Sisterea, Romania, along with his sister Donna, as a puppy after both were rescued from the public animal shelter Grivei in Oradea. For unexplained reasons, he had to grow up in the shelter and had no interested parties - but we are sure that his time has finally come. The ITV Grenzenlos would like to help find a suitable home for this imposing male. Diego is a calm, patient and gentle dog. His appearance is impressive, but behind the strong stature is a soft heart. He gets along well with other dogs and is a loyal companion for anyone who gives him love and attention. After all these years, he only wants one thing: to finally have someone he can call his family. Diego is ready to move into a loving home where he can really arrive. Of course, he still needs guidance and education, he only knows life in the shelter. Diego was born in July 2022 and is about 65 cm tall. He has been in the shelter since November 2022. He is neutered, vaccinated and chipped. Before his departure, he will receive a test for heartworms. Please contact us by phone: 05085 - 955171 if you are interested in him. Diego in the video:

Wir stellen vor: Diego, ein großer, würdevoller „Prinz“ auf vier Pfoten, geboren etwa im Juli 2022. Zusammen mit seiner Schwester Donna kam er als Welpe in unser Partnertierheim in Sisterea/Rumänien, nachdem beide aus dem öffentlichen Tierheim Grivei in Oradea gerettet wurden. Aus unerklärlichen Gründen musste er im Tierheim aufwachsen und hatte keine Interessenten – doch wir sind sicher, dass jetzt endlich seine Zeit gekommen ist. Der ITV Grenzenlos möchte dabei helfen, ein passendes Zuhause für diesen imposanten Rüden zu finden. Diego ist ein ruhiger, geduldiger und sanfter Hund. Sein Erscheinungsbild ist eindrucksvoll, doch hinter der starken Statur verbirgt sich ein weiches Herz. Er versteht sich gut mit anderen Hunden und ist ein treuer Begleiter für jeden, der ihm Liebe und Aufmerksamkeit schenkt. Nach all den Jahren wünscht er sich nur eines: endlich jemanden zu haben, den er seine Familie nennen darf. Diego ist bereit, in ein liebevolles Zuhause zu ziehen, in dem er wirklich ankommen kann. Natürlich benötigt er noch Orientierung und Erziehung, er kennt ja nur das Leben im Tierheim. Diego wurde im Juli 2022 geboren und ist ca. 65 cm groß. Im Tierheim ist er seit November 2022 Er ist kastriert, geimpft und gechipt. Vor seiner Ausreise bekommt er noch einen Test auf Herzwürmer.

About Diego

What life with Diego looks like

Diego is a extra-large adult mixed breed dog waiting at ITV Grenzenlos e.V. in Essel.

An 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.
