How do I contact the shelter about Ilvy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Free Dogs - Vergessene Tiere in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ilvy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ilvy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Free Dogs - Vergessene Tiere in Not 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 Ilvy 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 Ilvy 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 Free Dogs - Vergessene Tiere in Not e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ilvy 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.

She’s currently in foster care in 61381 Friedrichsdorf and would love to receive visits. Our lovely Ilvy is an experienced lady and, according to her passport, was born on February 18, 2018. At just under 30 cm tall and weighing about 8 kg, she’s a petite, cozy companion. She loves daily petting sessions and cuddling with her foster mom—and she actively seeks out these moments. On leisurely walks, she explores her new surroundings with great curiosity and openness. She’s already familiar with riding in cars and elevators, using stairs outside the house, visiting restaurants, and can even spend a short time alone. Little Ilvy loves all people; she approaches them friendly and hopes for a little cuddle. She especially enjoys visitors, whom she always greets joyfully. • Very people-oriented—loves cuddling and being close to humans • Enjoys leisurely walks—no rush, just relaxed strolls • Gets along well with cats—has no trouble sharing space with velvet paws • Gets along with dogs—mostly yes, but she’d prefer to be an only princess Her little handicap: • On her right eye, she can still see only about 8 to 10 percent—this slight limitation doesn’t slow her down or greatly restrict her. • Doctors are currently advising against removing the eye, as Ilvy still uses it and manages quite well. Ilvy proves that even with impaired vision, life can be fully enjoyed. • Born: February 18, 2018 (according to passport) • Breed: Jack Russell mix • Gender: female • Current location: 61381 Friedrichsdorf • Temperament: Cozy, friendly, relaxed, people-oriented • Hunting instinct: slightly present • Compatibility: Gets along with cats and dogs based on mutual sympathy, but prefers to be an only princess • Special feature: Severely impaired vision in the right eye (remains unchanged) • Quiet people or seniors • Anyone who’d like to give this special lady a cozy home Ilvy has touched you with her people-oriented nature? Then feel free to get in touch with foster mom Nadine. 📞 WhatsApp: (please include a brief introduction) Ilvy is waiting for a calm, loving home—maybe yours? .avia-image-container.av-ms77ynmz-426aa754bc8ef89c58022793b78a0c35 img.avia_image{ .avia-image-container.av-ms77ynmz-426aa754bc8ef89c58022793b78a0c35 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{

About Ilvy

What life with Ilvy looks like

Ilvy is a small adult jack russell terrier dog waiting at Free Dogs - Vergessene Tiere in Not e.V. in Großefehn.

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.
