Adopt Dodi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

In Romania, Dodi was seen on the road between two villages by the dog lover Zsusza. Zsusza took the little guy into her car and brought him to the animal shelter of our shelter. He was neither microchipped nor neutered and nobody was looking for him. He was made travel-ready at the animal shelter and hopes to be able to leave with the next transport of ITV Grenzenlos. The cute young Dodi is a bundle of energy. He is very lively, active, and ready to play. He is perfectly suited as a dog for a family but could also fit well with a playful single person. Dodi is even suitable for beginners in dog ownership. Of course, initially one needs some patience to get him accustomed to everything new and teach him the house rules. Another dog in the family would be very helpful. Dodi gets along well with the other dogs at the animal shelter and enjoys playing with them. He is open and friendly towards everyone, social and sympathetic. He already walks quite well on the leash. Dodi was born in March 2025 and is 30 cm tall. He has been at the animal shelter since March 2026 where he was neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. Before the travel arrangements, he will receive a blood quick test. Dodi arrives in Germany on 9th May to a foster home in Ehlershausen. Please call if you would like to help the little guy: 05085 – 955171 or 05085 – 7566.

In Rumänien wurde Dodi von der Tierfreundin Zsusza auf der Straße zwischen zwei Ortschaften gesehen. Zsusza hat den kleinen Kerl mit ins Auto genommen und zum Tierheim von Sisterea gebracht. Er war weder gechipt noch kastriert und wurde nicht gesucht. Mit dem Transport am 09. Mai durfte er ausreisen und ist jetzt auf einer Pflegestelle des ITV Grenzenlos im Raum Hannover. Der junge niedliche Dodi fühlt sich auf seiner Pflegestelle sehr wohl. Anfangs war er noch recht schüchtern, wird aber von Tag zu Tag munterer. An fremde Menschen und neue Situation muss er langsam herangeführt werden. Er geht aber bereits gern spazieren, ist stubenrein, fährt problemlos im Auto mit, lässt sich gern bürsten und versteht sich prima mit anderen Hunden. Nachts schläft er problemlos in seiner Box durch. Sein Pflegefrauchen liebt er sehr und ist ungern ohne sie. Das wird geübt und eine Stunde kann er schon gut allein bleiben. In seinem neuen Zuhause sollten keine kleinen Kinder sein, vor denen hat er noch Angst. Ideal für ihn wäre ein junges Rentnerpaar mit viel Zeit für den kleinen Jungen. Ein bereits vorhandener Hund wäre schön für Dodi, ist aber keine Bedingung. Dodi ist im März 2025 geboren und 30 cm groß. Im Tierheim wurde er kastriert, gechipt und geimpft. Vor der Ausreise bekam er noch einen Blutschnelltest, mit negativen Ergebnis. Dodi befindet sich in einer Pflegestelle in Burgdorf – Ehlershausen. Bitte rufen sie an, wenn sie dem kleinen Kerl helfen möchten: 05085 – 955171 oder 05085 – 7566.

About Dodi

What life with Dodi looks like

Dodi 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dodi, answered.

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