Ivy

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

This lively and spirited 7-year-old mixed breed dog is looking for a quiet home where she can relax. She previously lived with her mother "Mica" with an older gentleman who only let her run in the garden and did not take her outside the property to experience something different. She developed into a true couch potato and naturally gained a lot of weight. The new owners must therefore continue to strictly follow a diet plan.

Diese quirlige und temperamentvolle 7-Jährige Mischlingshündin sucht ein ruhiges Zuhause , in der sie entspannen kann. Sie wohnte vorher mit ihrer Mutter "Mica" bei einem älteren Herren , der sie nur im Garten laufen ließ und nicht außerhalb des Grundstückes mit ihnen unterwegs war um mal etwas anderes kennenzulernen. Sie entwickelte sich zu einem wahren Couchpotato und nahm natürlich enorm an Gewicht zu. Die neuen Besitzer müssen daher weiterhin streng einen Diätplan einhalten.

About Ivy

What life with Ivy looks like

Ivy is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Gelting in Geretsried.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Ivy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ivy?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Gelting handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ivy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ivy if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Gelting 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 Ivy 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 Ivy 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 Tierheim Gelting early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ivy 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.
