How do I contact the shelter about Freddy?

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

Can I adopt Freddy 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 Freddy 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 Freddy 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 Freddy 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.

Freddy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

The large Freddy came as a puppy to the animal shelter our shelter in Sisterea /Romania. He was made travel-ready in March 2026 and is waiting for an appropriate home. The ITV Grenzenlos is searching for the perfect family for him. The handsome imposing Freddy has a gentle balanced nature. He is very loving and gets along well with everyone. He likes people and his fellow animals, with whom he likes to play. He has a calm, easy-going nature, suitable for families, younger children, and also for slightly older people who are still fit enough for a large young male dog. Freddy has only known life in the animal shelter and still has a lot to learn. He is a bit reserved and cautious in new unfamiliar situations and not self-assured enough. He also cannot yet walk well on a leash. His new family will need patience and understanding for the large dog and should attend dog training classes. Once he has learned the dog ABCs, he will become a wonderful dog who will positively stand out and bring joy to his family. Freddy was born in January 2025 and is 71 cm tall and slender. He has been in the animal shelter since mid-2025. There, he was microchipped, vaccinated, and neutered. If someone is interested in this handsome dog, he will still need a blood test for heartworms and will be travel-ready. Please contact: 05085 – 955171 or Freddy in the video:

Der große Freddy kam als Welpe ins Tierheim von Sisterea /Rumänien. Er wurde im März 2026 reisefertig gemacht und wartet auf ein geeignetes Zuhause. Der ITV Grenzenlos sucht für ihn die passende Familie. Der hübsche imposante Freddy hat eine sanfte ausgewogene Art. Er ist sehr lieb und mit allen verträglich. Er mag Menschen und seine Artgenossen, mit denen er gern spielt. Er hat ein ruhiges gemütliches Wesen, eignet sich für Familien, kleinere Kinder und auch für etwas ältere Menschen, die noch fit genug für einen so großen jungen Rüden sind. Freddy kennt nur das Leben im Tierheim und muss noch viel lernen. Er ist in neuen fremden Situationen etwas zurückhaltend und vorsichtig und nicht selbstsicher genug. Er kann auch noch nicht so gut an der Leine laufen. Seine neue Familie braucht Geduld und Verständnis für den riesigen Hund und sollte eine Hundeschule besuchen. Wenn er das Hunde Einmaleins gelernt hat, wird er ein toller Hund werden, der positiv auffällt und seiner Familie Freude machen wird. Freddy wurde im Januar 2025 geboren und ist 71 cm groß und schlank. Im Tierheim ist er seit Mitte 2025. Dort wurde er gechipt, geimpft und kastriert. Wenn jemand sich für diesen hübschen Hund interessiert, dann bekommt er noch einen Bluttest auf Herzwürmer und ist reisefertig. Melden Sie sich bitte: 05085 – 955171 oder . Freddy im Video:

About Freddy

What life with Freddy looks like

Freddy is a extra-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.
