Adopt Gera ist reserviert

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Gera comes from Kramatorsk, Ukraine, where she had a home. It consisted only of fear and horror when she was rescued from the bombs and came to a family in Lviv on 28.03.2026, who temporarily took her in. Lovely people from Animal Aid Ukraine brought her there. Gera is 8 years old and about 50 cm tall, very nice and completely uncomplicated. At first, however, she could neither eat nor sleep due to sheer fear. A German animal lover wants to bring her to Germany in June/July. The ITV Grenzenlos helps to find a beautiful quiet home for the traumatized female dog. Gera lived in a house in Kramatorsk with children, many other dogs and cats. She is neutered, vaccinated, house-trained and healthy. She is kind to everyone and everything. She is extremely attached to humans but can also be left alone for several hours well. Now in April, her people are being evacuated, the war was too much for Gera. The noise overwhelmed her, and the female dog could hardly be convinced to leave the house. So great was her fear. In her foster home in Lviv, she is gradually calming down. However, she keeps to herself and is very inconspicuous. Only with the existing dogs and cats does she relax. Gera is very human-oriented and is now looking for new people. She is very modest, an older couple with a garden would be ideal. Gera is happy with everyone and seeks human proximity. Gera comes to Germany in June and has good prospects of finding a new home in our area. Gera in the video:

Gera kommt aus Kramatorsk, Ukraine, wo sie ein Zuhause hatte. Sie bestand nur aus Angst und Schrecken, als sie vor den Bomben gerettet und am 28.03.2026 in Lwiw zu einer Familie kam, die sie vorübergehend aufnahm. Liebe Menschen von der Tierhilfe Ukraine brachten sie dorthin. Gera ist 8 Jahre alt und ungefähr 50 cm groß, sehr nett und vollkommen unkompliziert. Anfangs allerdings konnte sie vor lauter Angst nicht fressen oder schlafen. Eine deutsche Tierfreundin möchte sie im Juni/Juli nach Deutschland holen. Der ITV Grenzenlos hilft dabei, ein schönes ruhiges Zuhause für die geschundene Hündin zu finden. Gera hat in Kramatorsk in einem Haus mit Kindern, vielen anderen Hunden und Katzen gelebt. Sie ist kastriert, geimpft, stubenrein und gesund. Sie ist lieb zu allen und jeden. Dem Menschen ist sie äußerst zugewandt, kann aber auch gut einige Stunden allein bleiben. Jetzt im April werden ihre Menschen evakuiert, für Gera war der Krieg zu viel. Der Lärm blockierte sie, und die Hündin konnte kaum überzeugt werden das Haus zu verlassen. So groß war ihre Angst. In ihrer Pflegestelle in Lwiw kommt sie allmählich zur Ruhe. Sie hält sich aber zurück und ist sehr unauffällig. Nur mit den vorhandenen Hunden und Katzen entspannt sie sich. Gera ist sehr menschenbezogen und sucht jetzt neue Menschen. Sie ist sehr bescheiden, ein älteres Ehepaar mit Garten wäre optimal. Gera freut sich über jeden Menschen und sucht die menschliche Nähe. Gera kommt im Juni nach Deutschland und hat gute Aussichten, ein neues Zuhause in Laatzen zu finden. Gera im Video:

About Gera ist reserviert

What life with Gera ist reserviert looks like

Gera ist reserviert is a 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gera ist reserviert, answered.

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