How do I contact the shelter about Shadow?

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

Can I adopt Shadow 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 Shadow 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 Shadow 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 Shadow 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.

Shadow

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Shadow came from a kill shelter in Cornetu, Romania, together with another dog. He was vaccinated, dewormed, neutered, and microchipped in Sisterea. He now just needs a nice place for his golden years. The black Labradoodle Shadow has a charming personality and soul. He is approachable, social, and open-minded and very clingy. He likes all people and all his fellow animals. He always shows himself to be kind and loving, not pushy, but always in good spirits and ready for adventures. Shadow is still quite fit and active for his age. He loves going for walks, is curious, and enjoys new experiences. He walks well on a leash. The sympathetic Shadow will make a great loyal companion. He was medically checked at the animal shelter and found to be in good health. He can travel if someone is interested in him and wants to give him a home. He was born in April 2012, is 53 cm tall, and came to the animal shelter in May 2025. Now ITV Grenzenlos would very much like to find him a home. Please call at 05085 – 955171 if you are interested: Shadow in video:

Shadow kam zusammen mit einem anderen Hund aus einer Tötungsstation bei Cornetu in Rumänien. Er wurde in Sisterea geimpft, entwurmt, kastriert und gechipt. Er braucht jetzt nur noch einen schönen Platz für seinen Lebensabend. Der schwarze Larador Shadow hat eine bezaubernde Art und Seele. Er ist zugänglich, sozial und aufgeschlossen und sehr anhänglich. Er mag alle Menschen und alle seine Artgenossen. Er zeigt sich immer nett und lieb, ist nicht aufdringlich, sondern immer gut drauf und bereit für Unternehmungen. Shadow ist für sein Alter noch recht fit und aktiv. Er geht sehr gern spazieren, ist neugierig und unternehmungslustig. Er geht gut an der Leine. Der sympathische Shadow wird ein toller treuer Begleiter sein. Im Tierheim wurde er medizinisch untersucht und für gesund befunden.

About Shadow

What life with Shadow looks like

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

An young 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.
