How do I contact the shelter about Greco?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Dallau handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Greco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Greco if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Dallau 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 Greco 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 Greco 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 Tierheim Dallau early rather than rehoming privately; they know Greco 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.

Greco

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

The mixed-breed male dog, born around 2018, was dropped off at the animal shelter on July 1, 2025. Greco is a dog for people with experience, patience, and calmness. He is a rough diamond – with edges but with great potential. Unfortunately, he was not well socialized and therefore needs a home without other animals and without children. Greco likes to test boundaries, needs clear guidance, and people who give him security. During walks, he currently wears a muzzle because he sometimes engages in sudden behaviors. However, as soon as you are out and about, the tension slowly fades – then he lets himself be petted and shows his softer side. Greco is looking for someone who understands him. Someone who gives him stability – and in return gets a loyal companion. Here you can watch a video of Greco (YouTube). This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

DE·Show original

Der ca. 2018 geborene Mischlingsrüde wurde am 01.07.2025 im Tierheim abgegeben. Greco ist ein Hund für Menschen mit Erfahrung, Ruhe und Geduld. Er ist ein Rohdiamant – mit Ecken, aber mit großem Potenzial. Er wurde leider nicht gut sozialisiert, zeigt sich aber sehr lernwillig und freut sich auch, geistig gefordert zu werden. Greco testet gern Grenzen, braucht klare Führung und Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit geben. Er hat einen Jagdtrieb, weshalb Katzen und andere Kleintiere im Haushalt nicht geeignet wären. Kinder sollten bereits im Teenageralter sein. Wenn man draußen unterwegs ist, fällt seine Anspannung langsam ab – dann lässt er sich gerne kraulen und zeigt seine sanftere Seite. Greco sucht jemanden, der ihn versteht. Jemanden, der ihm Halt, Struktur und Orientierung gibt – und dafür einen treuen Begleiter bekommt. Souveräne, hundeerfahrene Menschen wären von Vorteil. Hier können Sie ein Video von Greco sehen ( Youtube ).

About Greco

What life with Greco looks like

Greco is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Dallau in Elztal.

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.
