Don

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

A little stray dog named Don needs a warm home now. A friend of the animals, Zsusza, saw the little Don on the street in Marghita, Romania. She took him in because he had an injury on his head. He was neither chipped nor neutered and was not being looked for. He came to the Sisterea animal shelter to be neutered and to heal his head injury. He stayed there to find a nice home. The ITV Grenzenlos is helping him. Don is a sweet little male dog. He was initially a bit reserved and cautious because he probably had bad experiences with people. But he quickly got used to life in the animal shelter and was very grateful for attention and petting afterwards. He is still young, funny, lively and playful. He gets along well with the other dogs. Don lived on the street and probably doesn't know what life in a house is like yet. That's why he needs people with some dog experience and a lot of patience. He already walks well on a leash. Don was born in July 2025 and is 35 cm tall. He has been in the shelter since September 2026. Now he needs to find a warm home and the care that the little guy needs. Please send the contact form on the ITV Grenzenlos website or call: or if you would like to meet the little dog. Don in the video: be/BjlN9TqECq4

Der kleine Streuner Don braucht jetzt ein warmes Zuhause Eine Tierfreundin Zsusza hat den kleinen Don auf der Straße in Marghita /Rumänien gesehen. Sie hat ihn aufgenommen, weil er eine Verletzung am Kopf hatte. Er war weder gechipt noch kastriert und wurde nicht gesucht. Er kam ins Tierheim von Sisterea zum Kastrieren und zum Ausheilen seiner Kopfverletzung. Er blieb da, um ein schönes Zuhause zu finden. Dabei hilft ihm der ITV Grenzenlos. Don ist ein lieber niedlicher Rüde. Er war anfangs etwas zurückhaltend und vorsichtig, weil ert wahrscheinlich schlechte Erfahrungen mit Menschen gemacht hat. Er gewöhnte sich aber schnell an das Leben im Tierheim und war danach für Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheit sehr dankbar. Er ist noch jung, lustig, aufgeweckt und verspielt. Er versteht sich gut mit den anderen Hunden. Don lebte auf der Straße und kennt wahrscheinlich das Leben in einem Haus noch nicht. Deshalb braucht er Menschen mit etwas Hundeerfahrung und viel Geduld. Er geht schon gut an der Leine. Don wurde im Juli 2025 geboren und ist 35 cm groß. Im Tierheim ist er seit September 2026. Nun soll er schnell ein warmes Zuhause und die Fürsorge bekommen, die der kleine Kerl nötig hat.

About Don

What life with Don looks like

Don is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ITV Grenzenlos e.V. in Essel.

A 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Don, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Don?: 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 Don on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Don 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Don 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 Don 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 Don 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.
