How do I contact the shelter about Lou?

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

Can I adopt Lou if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ITV Grenzenlos 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 Lou 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 Lou 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 ITV Grenzenlos e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lou 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.

Lou

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Lou is a nice, open female dog. She is friendly and attentive to everyone she meets, seeking the company of people. Lou longs so much for affection and attention. The pretty doggie was rescued from the terrible killing station Barlad in Romania in mid-January 2025 by animal welfare officers – she was saved from certain death. At present, she lives in the private animal shelter "Life Goes On" in Sibiu, Romania – sometimes in a yard. Lou is curious and eager to learn. She gets along well with the other dogs in the animal shelter, but she would also like to take the lead sometimes. She wishes for her own people and would be very happy and content as a single dog. Lou was born on May 15, 2017, as per her vaccination record. Often, the exact date is unknown, and an estimated date is entered at the killing station. According to the assessment of the operator of the private animal shelter, Lou is not older than 3-4 years. She is 50 cm tall and weighs 20 kg. She has all her vaccinations, is neutered, and microchipped. Please contact us if you would like to give this pretty female dog a home: or .

Lou ist eine nette aufgeschlossene Hündin. Sie zeigt sich jedem gegenüber freundlich und zugewandt. Sie sucht die Nähe der Menschen. Lou sehnt sich so sehr nach Zuwendung und Aufmerksamkeit. Die hübsche Hundedame wurde Mitte Januar 2025 von Tierschützern aus der furchtbaren Tötungsstation Barlad in Rumänien vor dem Tod gerettet. Zur Zeit lebt sie in dem privaten Tierheim „Life Goes On“ in Sibiu in Rumänien – auch zeitweise in einem Zwinger. Lou ist neugierig und lernbereit. Mit den anderen Hunden im Tierheim versteht sie sich gut, möchte aber auch gerne mal den Ton angeben. Sie wünscht sich so sehr ihre eigenen Menschen und wäre als Einzelhund sehr glücklich und zufrieden. Lou ist laut Impfpass am 15.05.2017 geboren. Oftmals ist das genaue Datum unbekannt, und es wird in der Tötungsstation ein geschätztes Datum eingetragen. Laut der Einschätzung des Betreibers des privaten Tierheimes ist Lou nicht älter als 3 – 4 Jahr. Sie ist 50 cm groß und wiegt 20 kg. Sie hatte alle Impfungen, ist kastriert und gechipt.

About Lou

What life with Lou looks like

Lou is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at ITV Grenzenlos e.V. in Essel.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
