Silja

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Silja arrived at the Oradea euthanasia center in Romania as a puppy. She was surrendered there in October 2023. She spent only a few days there before being taken to the Sisterea animal shelter. Silja has not found a home yet, although she is super friendly and socially compatible. The sympathetic and pretty Silja only knows life in the animal shelter and therefore still has a lot to learn. She only knows her pack, the animal shelter is the place where she grew up, and everything else will be new and unusual for her. That's why she's looking for open and understanding people who can help her on this journey. Having a second dog in the family would be an advantage, so she can orientate herself around him. Silja gets along well with other dogs and already walks well on a leash. Silja was born in August 2023 and is 48 cm tall. She has been in the shelter since October 23, where she was vaccinated, chipped, and spayed. Now she wants to finally leave and find a home in Germany. Please call if you want to help this nice little dog: 05085-955171 or .

Silja lebt seit 3 Jahren im Tierheim Silja kam als Welpe in die Tötungsstation von Oradea/Rumänien. Sie wurde dort im Oktober 2023 abgegeben. Sie verbrachte nur ein paar Tagen dort, danach wurde sie m Tierheim von Sisterea aufgenommen. Siljia fand bisher noch kein Zuhause, obwohl sie super freundlich und sozial verträglich ist. Sie hat ein angenehmes nettes Wesen, sie sucht immer nach menschlichem Kontakt und ist für jede Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheit sehr dankbar. Die sympathische hübsche Siljia kennt nur das Leben im Tierheim und muss deshalb noch viel lernen. Sie kennt nur ihre Rudel, das Tierheim ist der Platz, wo sie aufgewachsen ist, und für sie wird alles andere neu und ungewöhnlich werden. Deswegen sucht sie offene verständnisvolle Menschen, die ihr auf diesem Weg helfen. Ein zweiter Hund in der Familie wäre von Vorteil, damit sie sich an ihm orientieren kann. Silja versteht sich gut mit anderen Hunden und geht schon gut an der Leine. Silja wurde im August 2023 geboren und ist 48 cm groß. Sie ist seit Oktober 23 im Tierheim und wurde dort geimpft, gechipt und kastriert. Nun möchte sie endlich ausreisen und in Deutschland ein Zuhause finden.

About Silja

What life with Silja looks like

Silja is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at ITV Grenzenlos e.V. in Essel.

A young 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Silja, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Silja?: 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 Silja on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Silja 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Silja 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 Silja 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 Silja 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.
