How do I contact the shelter about Silke?

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

Can I adopt Silke 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 Silke 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 Silke 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 Silke 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.

Silke

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Silke now also needs a lovely home. And here is where ITV Grenzenlos wants to help. The cute female dog from Middle and East Germany is probably a Yellow Female Dog and very open and friendly. She likes all people and gets along well with the other dogs. She is quite active and therefore needs a sporty family that spends a lot of time with her. Silke is a curious, eager-to-learn, and attentive female dog who will be a good companion. She has a pleasant character and should go to people experienced with dogs. She likely hasn't experienced life in a house yet and should be kept and trained well. She already walks nicely on a leash and wants to learn more. Silke was born in March 2019 and is 55 cm tall. She has been vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. Before her travel arrangements, she will receive a blood test for heartworms. Please contact ITV Grenzenlos if you are interested in this amazing female dog: or . Video of Silke:

About Silke

What life with Silke looks like

Silke 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.
