How do I contact the shelter about Momo?

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 Momo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Momo 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 Momo 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 Momo 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 Momo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Momo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Momo was rescued from euthanasia in January 2025 and taken to a private animal shelter. Unfortunately, he had to live there confined behind bars, where he became very withdrawn and seemed to have given up hope. However, the handsome male dog was soon moved to an outdoor run, and from that moment on, he began to rediscover his zest for life—and above all, to trust humans again. Now, Momo is ready to take the next step: to find a loving home with people who will show him—with patience and love—just how wonderful a dog’s life can be. Momo is a gentle, friendly boy who is initially a bit shy but gets along well with another dog. He shows no aggression whatsoever and is highly sociable with other dogs of his own species. This handsome male looks like a puppy, but he’s actually already about 6–7 years old. He hasn’t learned much yet, but he’s quite trusting. Momo is afraid of men—this stems from his past experiences. In a friendly and calm environment, he’ll learn a lot and become even more trusting. MOMO is approximately 7 years old, stands about 45 cm tall, and weighs around 12 kg. All he wishes for is a peaceful home, a sense of security, and people whom he can wholeheartedly love. He could come to Germany if someone is willing to help and adopt him. He’s medically prepared, vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Please call ITV Grenzenlos e.V. at 05071 – 4126 or watch Momo in the video:

DE·Show original

Momo wurde im Januar 2025 aus der Tötung gerettet und in ein privates Tierheim gebracht. Leider musste er dort eingesperrt hinter Gittern leben, er hat sich sehr zurückgezogen und schien sich aufzugeben. Der hübsche Rüde konnte jedoch bald in einen Freilauf umgesetzt werden, und ab da begann er wieder neue Lebenslust und vor allem Vertrauen zu den Menschen zu fassen. Nun ist Momo bereit einen Schritt weiterzugehen, in ein liebevolles Zuhause zu Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld und Liebe zeigen, wie schön ein Hundeleben sein kann. Momo ist ein sanfter, freundlicher, am Anfang etwas schüchterner Bub, der gut mit einem Ersthund zusammenleben kann. Er zeigt keinerlei Aggression und ist mit Artgenossen sehr sozial. Der hübsche Rüde wirkt wie ein Welpe, aber er ist schon ca. 6-7 Jahre alt. Er hat noch nicht viel gelernt, ist aber recht zutraulich. Momo hat Angst vor Männern – das erklärt sich aus seiner Erfahrung. In einer freundlichen und ruhigen Umgebung wird er viel lernen und zutraulich werden. MOMO ist ca. 7 Jahre alt, etwa 45 cm groß und rund 12 kg schwer. Alles, was er sich wünscht, ist ein ruhiges Zuhause, Geborgenheit und Menschen, die er von ganzem Herzen lieben darf. Er könnte nach Deutschland kommen, wenn jemand ihm helfen und ihn aufnehmen möchte. Er ist medizinisch vorbereitet, geimpft, kastriert und gechipt. Momo kommt am 23.10. nach Deutschland in eine Pflegestelle in Wunstorf. Bitte rufen Sie beim ITV Grenzenlos e.V. an: 05071 – 4126 oder Momo im Video:

About Momo

What life with Momo looks like

Momo is a medium-sized 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. 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.
