Liv

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 11 months

Liv, a female dog, has been at the shelter since July 2026. She is estimated to have been born around October 2025 and stands approximately 40-49 cm tall at the shoulder. Learn more about Liv in the video! **Dog Name:** Liv **Gender:** Female **Estimated Age:** Born around Month (written out)/Year **Estimated Height:** xx-xx cm **Estimated Weight:** xx-xx kg **Special:** Gnadenplatz/Handicap (if not, delete) **Learn more about Liv in a video!** **HOW TO ADOPT** Liv wants to grow up in safety. She lived on a Romanian farm. Her previous owners gave her to us for spaying/neutering and didn't want her back. More information about how dogs come to the shelter and answers to general questions can be found in our animal welfare FAQ. At our shelter, Liv has been shy so far, but also curious. She doesn't want to be petted yet, but sniffs human visitors carefully and interested. Liv seems to get along well with other dogs. This furball is still new at the shelter. Our caregivers take their time to get to know and assess each dog. When we know more about the character of this furball, we will update this profile. Of course, you can still fill out a self-disclosure for this dog. We are looking for people who are aware that animal shelter dogs bring a certain history with them. We can never predict at the shelter how a dog will react to life in Germany. That's why we are looking for people who have patience, perseverance and goodwill. But one thing is certain: Whoever adopts instead of buys not only gives a second chance to an animal, but also actively decides against animal suffering - and for a life with a very special companion by their side. Already in love? Send us a self-disclosure! **Adoption** If you are thinking about adoption, first read through the placement process. All dogs are vaccinated, chipped, dewormed, flea-treated and neutered/spayed before departure (except for puppies up to 6 months and very old dogs). Dogs older than 1 year are also tested for Mediterranean diseases. If you have any questions, feel free to send a message to our placement team.

Im Tierheim seit: Juli 2026 Geschätztes Alter: geb. ca. Oktober 2025 Geschätzte Schulterhöhe: ca. 40 – 49 cm Geschätztes Endgewicht: ca. 20 – 35 kg Lerne hier Liv direkt in einem weiteren Video kennen! Schüchterne Liv will in Sicherheit aufwachsen! Liv lebte auf einem rumänischen Hof. Ihre früheren Besitzer gaben sie uns zur Kastration mit und wollten sie dann nicht mehr zurück haben. Mehr Informationen darüber, wie die Hunde ins Tierheim kommen und Antworten auf generelle Fragen findest du in unserem Tierschutz-FAQ . Bei uns im Tierheim zeigte Liv sich anfangs noch ziemlich schüchtern, aber auch neugierig. Dank der Zeit und Geduld der Volontär:innen, die sie täglich besucht haben, ist sie nun ein ganzes Stück mehr aufgetaut. Die hübsche Liv kommt immer öfter von selbst auf die Menschen zu und lässt sich mittlerweile anfassen und streicheln. Auch im Umgang mit anderen Hunden scheint Liv mehr aufgetaut zu sein und spielt mit ihnen. Sie lebt gemeinsam mit Amira in einem Zwinger. Diese Fellnase ist noch neu im Tierheim. Unsere Pfleger:innen nehmen sich Zeit, um jeden Hund kennenzulernen und einzuschätzen. Wenn wir mehr über den Charakter dieser Fellnase wissen, ergänzen wir dieses Profil. Natürlich kannst du trotzdem schon eine Selbstauskunft für diesen Hund ausfüllen. Für die junge Liv wünschen wir uns Menschen, die Geduld mitbringen und ihr weiter mehr Sicherheit geben können, damit sie weiter auftauen und zu der Traumhündin werden kann, die in ihr steckt. Wir wünschen uns für diese Fellnase Menschen, denen bewusst ist, dass Tierschutzhunde eine gewisse Geschichte mitbringen. Wir können im Tierheim nie vorhersagen, wie ein Hund auf das Leben in Deutschland reagieren wird. Deswegen suchen wir Menschen, die Geduld, Durchhaltevermögen und Wohlwollen mitbringen. Aber eines ist sicher: Wer adoptiert statt kauft , schenkt nicht nur einem Tier eine zweite Chance, sondern entscheidet sich aktiv gegen Tierleid – und für ein Leben mit einem ganz besonderen Gefährten an der Seite. Schon verliebt? Schick uns eine Selbstauskunft! Adoption Wenn du über eine Adoption nachdenkst, lies dir zunächst den Vermittlungsablauf durch. Alle Hunde werden vor der Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, entfloht und kastriert (Ausnahme sind Welpen bis 6 Monate und sehr alte Hunde). Hunde, die älter als 1 Jahr sind, werden zudem auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, schreibe unserem Vermittlungsteam gern eine Nachricht.

About Liv

What life with Liv looks like

Liv is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Hunderettung Europa e.V. in Duisburg.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Liv, answered.

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