Hazel

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

HAZEL was rescued from a euthanasia station in Romania with her twin brother Leon over a year ago. Nobody knows what she has already experienced. No wonder she is still somewhat cautious and does not immediately open up to people. Currently, she is at a private animal shelter named "Life goes on" with Ionut Stanciu in Sibiu. She is allowed to learn at her own pace there that proximity is not threatening. She observes, sniffs around, pulls back, then comes closer—just as she feels secure. And Hazel is making progress. Therefore, it would be time for her to now be raised in a home with people where her trust can be cultivated. She needs to be encouraged and become more confident. Behind her reserve is not fear of people but caution. Slowly, HAZEL is becoming braver. But now HAZEL needs people who meet her with patience, calmness, and understanding. People who show her that the world can also be beautiful and safe. If one gives her time, she opens up and shares her quiet, honest love. She is a female dog who returns much love and would develop into a pleasant companion dog. Hazel was born on 01.01.2019 and is 50 cm tall. She weighs 20-25 kg. She has been vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Anyone who falls in love with HAZEL and wants to know more can contact: 05071 – 4126 or Hazel in video:

Die kleine Schäferhündin Hazel ist noch etwas zurückhaltend HAZEL wurde vor über einem Jahr mit ihrem Zwillingsbruder Leon aus einer Tötungsstation in Rumänien gerettet. Niemand weiß, was sie schon erlebt hat. Kein Wunder also, dass sie heute noch etwas vorsichtig ist und einem nicht gleich offen entgegen kommt. Jetzt befindet sie sich in einem privaten Tierheim namens „Life goes on“ bei Ionut Stanciu in Sibiu. Sie darf dort in ihrem eigenen Tempo lernen, dass Nähe nichts Bedrohliches ist. Sie beobachtet, schnuppert, zieht sich zurück, kommt wieder näher – ganz so, wie sie sich sicher fühlt . Und Hazel macht Fortschritte . Deshalb wäre es an der Zeit, sie jetzt in einem Zuhause bei Menschen gut zu erziehen und um ihr Vertrauen zu werben. Sie muss bestärkt und selbstbewußter werden. Hinter ihrer Zurückhaltung steckt keine Angst vor Menschen, sondern Vorsicht. Langsam wird HAZEL immer mutiger. Aber jetzt braucht HAZEL Menschen, die ihr mit Geduld, Ruhe und Verständnis begegnen. Menschen, die ihr zeigen, dass die Welt auch schön und sicher sein kann. Wenn man ihr Zeit gibt, öffnet sie sich und schenkt einem ihre stille, ehrliche Liebe. Sie ist eine Hündin, die viel Liebe zurückgibt und sich als angenehme Begleithündin entwickeln würde. Hazel wurde am 01. 01. 2019 geboren und ist 50 cm groß. Sie wiegt 20-25 kg. Sie wurde geimpft, kastriert und gechipt. Wenn Sie Interesse an Hazel haben, senden Sie uns bitte das Kontaktformular, oder rufen Sie uns an: 05071 – 4126 oder .

About Hazel

What life with Hazel looks like

Hazel 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Hazel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hazel?: 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 Hazel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hazel 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Hazel 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 Hazel 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 Hazel 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.
