Honey

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Honey, a young German Shepherd mix, arrived at the "Life goes on" animal shelter in Sibiu from the Barlad euthanasia center with his brother Sunny. He lives with his brother in a kennel and is eagerly waiting to be seen and accepted. Honey is a handsome young dog who is initially cautious. He eats wet food from his hand but does not want to be touched right away. He needs to build trust. This can only happen if someone helps him with patience and calmness. Of course, he still needs training. He is open to learning. We wish for Honey a loving home with understanding, patient people who give him the necessary time and security and accompany him on his journey to becoming an adult dog. He is still young and has not had anything nice in his life so far. Honey is about 2 years old and 45 cm tall. He has been medically treated: vaccinated, chipped, neutered and dewormed. He also has a negative 4DX test. If you are interested in this friendly, lively dog, please call ITV Grenzenlos: or . Honey in the video:

Der kleine Schäferhund-Mix HONEY kam mit zwei Brüdern aus der Tötungsstation von Barlad ins private Tierheim „Life goes on“ in Sibiu und lebt dort mit seinem Bruder SUNNY im Zwinger. Er wartet sehnsüchtig darauf, endlich gesehen und akzeptiert zu werden. HONEY ist ein hübscher junger Bub, der am Anfang noch vorsichtig ist. Er frisst Nassfutter aus der Hand, möchte aber nicht gleich berührt werden. Er muss Vertrauen aufbauen. Und das geschieht nur, wenn ihm jemand mit Ruhe und Geduld dabei hilft. Natürlich braucht er noch Erziehung. Er ist dafür aufgeschlossen lernfähig. Für HONEY wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause bei einfühlsamen geduldigen Menschen, die ihm die nötige Zeit und Sicherheit geben und ihn weiter auf seinem Weg zum erwachsenen Hund begleiten. Er ist noch so jung, und hat bisher noch nichts Schönes von seinem Leben gehabt. Honey ist ca. 2 Jahre alt und 45 cm groß. Er ist medizinisch gut vorbehandelt: geimpft, gechipt, kastriert und entwurmt. Er hat auch den negativen 4DX-Test. Wenn an diesem freundlichen aufgeweckten Rüden Interesse besteht, rufen Sie bitte beim ITV Grenzenlos an: oder . Honey im Video:

About Honey

What life with Honey looks like

Honey is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ITV Grenzenlos e.V. in Essel.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Honey, answered.

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