Happy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Dieser niedliche Bichon Malteser wurde laut Online Registerbuch in Rumänien im Januar 2023 unter den Namen Happy registriert. Er gehörte einem Alkoholiker, der seinen Hund einer Tierschützerin gegen etwas Schnaps abgeben hat. Der arme kleine Hund war sehr ungepflegt und voller Parasiten. Happy wurde in Sisterea kastriert, neu geimpft und hübsch gemacht. Er wartet nun auf sein neues Zuhause, wo er immer gepflegt und gut gehalten wird. Der Name beschreibt auch seinen Charakter sehr gut. Er ist immer gut drauf, munter und aufmerksam. Er spielt und tobt sehr gern und ist ständig in Bewegung. Er ist immer freundlich und eignet sich für jede Familie auch mit kleinen Kindern. Happy versteht sich gut mit den anderen Hunden und geht gut an der Leine. Happy wurde im Januar 2022 geboren und ist 29 cm groß. Im Tierheim ist er seit August 2026. Er wurde dort geimpft, gechipt und kastriert. Seinen Herzwurmtest bekommt er vor seiner Ausreise. Happy kommt am 12.9. nach Deutschland in eine Pflegestelle in Burgdorf – Ehlershausen. Wenn Sie ihm helfen wollen, rufen Sie bitte an: 05085 – 7566 oder 98. Happy im Video:

About Happy

What life with Happy looks like

Happy is a small 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. 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Happy, answered.

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