Adopt Merlin

Male · Baby

Is friendly with other animals? Can be left alone for some hours? Merlin is a affectionate family dog. The black lively Merlin lived on a street in Romania. He was very thin and full of parasites. He was taken in by the "Open Animal Shelter" in Sisterea, vaccinated, neutered, and dewormed. On May 9, 2026, he arrived in Germany via the ITV Grenzenlos and is now at the "Guesthouse for Animals" in Essel, where you can meet him. Merlin is a Flat Coated Retriever and, according to his age, lively and adventurous. He needs a sporty home, plenty of mental stimulation, and good training. He has already learned to walk on a leash. However, he is still unfamiliar with life in a house. The friendly male dog just wants to snuggle. He is ideal as a family dog. He also gets along well with other dogs. The black Merlin was born in mid-2022 and is 58 cm tall. He has been at the animal shelter since 2024. He has received full medical treatment. The heartworm test was done before he came to Germany. If anyone is interested in this friendly male dog, please contact ITV Grenzenlos at: or .

About Merlin

What life with Merlin looks like

Merlin is a puppy/kitten animal waiting at Tierschutz Celle in Celle.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Merlin far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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 Merlin, answered.

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