Gilu

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Gilu - clever companion seeks his family Gilu comes from the Cornetu shelter in Romania, where he was on the euthanasia list. Fortunately, we were able to secure him in time. Today, the friendly male lives in a Romanian foster home and is waiting there for his own family. Gilu showed himself to be extremely open and people-oriented from the first moment. He greets people friendly, lets himself be touched everywhere without problems and shows himself to be curious and uninhibited. With a shoulder height of about 50-55 cm and around 20 kg, Gilu belongs to the medium-sized dogs. Optically, he is a typical Romanian mixed breed and may seem rather unimpressive at first glance. However, anyone who gets to know him quickly realizes that there is a very sympathetic and friendly dog behind his simple appearance. Gilu's quick understanding is particularly remarkable. He is attentive, eager to learn and enjoys working with his people. He seems to quickly understand new contexts and brings the best prerequisites to excel in both everyday life and training. With the right guidance, he will surely enjoy learning new things with his family. Gilu also masters new situations with confidence. His first walks were problem-free and he is already familiar with driving in the car. Like any dog from foreign animal protection, Gilu will also learn the basics of life in a family step by step. Loving consistency, clear orientation and patience will help him quickly find his way in his new everyday life. The visit to a competent dog school should accompany him from the beginning. For Gilu, we wish for people who enjoy being active with their dog and promoting him both physically and mentally. Due to his open, eager to learn and adaptable nature, we can also imagine him well with committed beginners who are willing to learn with him. After a positive preliminary check, Gilu may be castrated, vaccinated, chipped, dewormed, dewormed and with an EU pet passport against a deposit of 495 euros to his new home.

Gilu – cleverer Begleiter sucht seine Familie Gilu stammt aus dem Shelter Cornetu in Rumänien, wo er auf der Tötungsliste stand. Glücklicherweise konnten wir ihn rechtzeitig sichern. Heute lebt der freundliche Rüde auf einer rumänischen Pflegestelle und wartet dort auf seine eigene Familie. Gilu zeigte sich uns gegenüber vom ersten Moment an ausgesprochen offen und menschenbezogen. Er begegnet Menschen freundlich, lässt sich problemlos überall anfassen und zeigt sich neugierig sowie unbefangen. Mit einer Schulterhöhe von etwa 50–55 cm und rund 20 kg gehört Gilu zu den mittelgroßen Hunden. Optisch ist er ein typischer rumänischer Mischling und mag auf den ersten Blick eher unscheinbar wirken. Wer ihn kennenlernt, merkt jedoch schnell, dass hinter seinem schlichten Äußeren ein ausgesprochen sympathischer und freundlicher Hund steckt. Besonders zeichnet Gilu seine schnelle Auffassungsgabe aus. Er ist aufmerksam, lernfreudig und arbeitet gerne mit seinen Menschen zusammen. Neue Zusammenhänge scheint er schnell zu verstehen und bringt beste Voraussetzungen mit, sich sowohl im Alltag als auch im Training hervorragend weiterzuentwickeln. Mit der richtigen Anleitung wird er sicher viel Freude daran haben, gemeinsam mit seiner Familie Neues zu lernen. Auch neue Situationen meistert Gilu souverän. Seine ersten Spaziergänge verliefen problemlos und auch das Autofahren kennt er bereits. Wie jeder Hund aus dem Auslandstierschutz wird auch Gilu die Grundlagen des Lebens in einer Familie Schritt für Schritt weiter kennenlernen. Liebevolle Konsequenz, klare Orientierung und Geduld werden ihm helfen, sich schnell in seinem neuen Alltag zurechtzufinden. Der Besuch einer kompetenten Hundeschule sollte ihn dabei von Anfang an begleiten. Für Gilu wünschen wir uns Menschen, die Freude daran haben, gemeinsam mit ihrem Hund aktiv zu sein und ihn sowohl körperlich als auch geistig zu fördern. Aufgrund seines offenen, lernfreudigen und anpassungsfähigen Wesens können wir ihn uns auch gut bei engagierten Anfänger:innen vorstellen, die bereit sind, mit ihm gemeinsam zu lernen. Nach positiver Vorkontrolle darf Gilu kastriert, geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, entfloht und mit EU-Heimtierausweis gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 495 Euro in sein neues Zuhause ziehen.

About Gilu

What life with Gilu looks like

Gilu is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. in Germany.

An 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Gilu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gilu?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gilu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gilu if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. whether they will for Gilu, what they require (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 Gilu already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. lists Gilu as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Gilu isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gilu 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.
