Manu

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

We caught Manu in June in Paleu, Romania, after her puppies were taken away by the dogcatcher. They could not catch Manu. It was very difficult to catch her. Unfortunately, there was no more information about the puppies, and they likely fell ill with Parvovirus at the city's animal shelter and died. Manu was a very shy female dog. She definitely did not have an easy time and had to fight for survival on the streets while always being on guard. She may have given birth to puppies before that barely had any chance of surviving. Therefore, she was very depressed about losing her babies. Manu was rehabilitated and socialized in Sisterea. She lives in a warehouse where there are always people and dogs around. She has learned to like humans and trust them. She loves all the staff and now lets herself be handled and petted by everyone. However, she is still quite unsure and needs more confidence. She has already made great progress and learns something new every day. Manu is looking for people with dog experience and lots of patience, as she needs time to get used to new situations and environments. The beautiful large Manu with her warm head eyes has a wonderful character. She is calm, balanced, and peaceful. Therefore, she is searching for calm, cozy people, ideally in the countryside, with a garden and possibly other dogs she can look to for guidance. She is not yet familiar with life in a house. The lovely Manu asks for little and is grateful for everything. She walks pretty well on the leash and gets along well with the other dogs. Manu was born in February 2022 and measures 62 cm. She is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered and can come to Germany with the next transport. Before her travel arrangements, she will receive a blood test for heartworms.

Wir haben Manu im Juni in Paleu, Rumänien eingefangen, nachdem ihre Welpen vom Hundefänger weggenommen worden waren. Manu konnten sie nicht erwischen. Es war sehr schwer sie einzufangen. Leider gab es keine Informationen mehr über die Welpen, sie sind wahrscheinlich im städtischen Tierheim am Parvovirus erkrankt und gestorben. Manu war eine sehr scheue Hündin. Sie hat es bisher bestimmt nicht einfach gehabt und musste auf der Straße ums Überleben kämpfen und immer auf der Hut sein. Sie hat vielleicht schon öfter Welpen bekommen, die kaum Überlebungschancen hatten. Sie war deshalb sehr deprimiert, ihre Babies verloren zu haben. Manu wurde in Sisterea aufgepäppelt und sozialisiert. Sie lebt im Warehouse, wo immer Menschen und Hunde sind. Sie hat gelernt Menschen zu mögen und ihnen Vertrauen zu schenken. Sie liebt alle Mitarbeiter und lässt sich mittlerweile von allen befassen und streicheln. Sie ist aber immer noch ziemlich unsicher und braucht mehr Selbstbewusstsein. Sie hat aber bereits große Fortschritte gemacht und lernt jeden Tag etwas Neues. Manu sucht Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung und viel Geduld, denn sie braucht Zeit, sich an neuen Situationen und Umgebungen zu gewöhnen. Die wunderschöne große Manu mit den warmen Kopfaugen hat ein tolles Wesen. Sie ist ruhig, ausgeglichen und friedlich. Deshalb sucht sie ruhige gemütliche Menschen, ideal auf dem Land, mit Garten und eventuell anderen Hunden, an denen sie sich orientieren kann. Sie kennt das Leben in einem Haus noch nicht. Die liebe Manu verlangt nicht viel und ist für alles sehr dankbar. Sie geht ziemlich gut an der Leine und versteht sich gut mit den anderen Hunden. Manu wurde im Februar 2022 geboren und mißt 62 cm. Sie ist geimpft, gechipt und kastriert und kann mit dem nächsten Transport nach Deutschland kommen. Vor ihrer Ausreise bekommt sie noch einen Blutschnelltest auf Herzwürmer.

About Manu

What life with Manu looks like

Manu is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at ITV Grenzenlos e.V. in Essel.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Manu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Manu?
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 Manu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Manu 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 Manu 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 Manu 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 Manu 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.
