How do I contact the shelter about Ivan?

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

Can I adopt Ivan if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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 Ivan 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 Ivan 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 Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ivan 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.

Help Ivan find a home - share this with your friends ❤️ IVAN ⭐ A fighter who now deserves peace IVAN looks directly at you — calmly, attentively, with a gaze that tells more than many words. This beige-brown male dog with a gray face and white paws survived a severe staph infection in the summer of 2025. Not without effort. And he still carries some mild neurological effects from it. But he stands. He looks. He is there. What we know about IVAN: Born in January 2023, 43 cm tall — IVAN is a young male dog who has had a lot thrown at him early in life. He gets along well with other dogs, though he still needs some time to build trust. His neurological limitations are mild and affect his daily life only slightly — but they belong to him, and the right home should know and accept them. What IVAN needs: No hectic home, no chaos. IVAN needs peace, reliability, and people who accompany his journey with patience. He has fought — now he deserves someone who is there for him. Giving IVAN a chance will earn you a dog who understands what it means to be saved. Origin:

Was wir über IVAN wissen: Geboren im Januar 2023, 43 cm groß — IVAN ist ein junger Rüde, dem das Leben früh einiges abverlangt hat.

About Ivan

What life with Ivan looks like

Ivan is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG in Germany.

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.
