Adopt Ivy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Ref. No.: h-korfu-ivy-f-0924 Update end of October 2024: Ivy now shares an enclosure with the very balanced Monty and is learning good social behavior from him! We are very happy to see her picking up body language so well from a great companion and becoming a real dog ;) September 2024: Ivy was found by a friend of an animal rescuer and, for her own safety, was taken into an animal shelter. She is estimated to be 2 years old and currently weighs 24kg with a shoulder height of about 58cm. She doesn't get along well with other dogs yet - but she is all the more friendly towards people, where she shows herself to be a playful, active female dog. Ivy is packed and ready, looking forward to her new family who will never let her down! All dogs are initially vaccinated, microchipped, and have an EU pet passport.

I-Nr.: h-korfu-ivy-f-0924 Update Ende Oktober 2024: Ivy teilt sich mittlerweile ein Gehege mit dem sehr ausgeglichenen Monty und lernt von ihm gutes Sozialverhalten! Wir freuen uns sehr, dass sie sich von einem tollen Partner so gut die Körpersprache abschaut und mittlerweile ein richtiger Hund wird ;) September 2024: Ivy wurde von einer befreundeten Tierschützerin gefunden und zu ihrer eigenen Sicherheit im Tierheim aufgenommen. Sie ist geschätzt 2 Jahre alt und wiegt aktuell 24kg bei einer Schulterhöhe von etwa 58cm. Mit anderen Hunden kommt sie aktuell noch nicht so gut zurecht - ist dafür aber umso freundlicher zu Menschen, wo sie sich als verspielte, aktive Hündin zeigt.Ivy sitzt auf gepackten Koffern und freut sich auf ihre neue Familie, die sie nie wieder im Stich lässt! Alle Hunde sind erstgeimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Heimtierausweis. 20250301 01 Ivy Maerz 2025 20241005 02 Ivy Oktober 2024 20241005 01 Ivy Oktober 2024 20240913 13 Ivy September 2024

About Ivy

What life with Ivy looks like

Ivy is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Korfu e.V. in Ratingen.

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 Ivy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ivy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierhilfe Korfu e.V. 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 — Tierhilfe Korfu 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 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 Tierhilfe Korfu e.V. 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
