Tobi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Toby is a cute little guy. Toby was seen on the roadside in Romania between two villages. He was with a large group of dogs and was limping. There was probably a female dog in heat and he was injured by the other dogs. He was caught and taken to the Sisterea animal shelter in September 2026. There he is safe from the dog catchers and is waiting for a nice home. ITV Grenzenlos would like to help him. He is no longer limping. At the shelter he was initially a bit reserved, but then quickly opened up. The little Toby with the funny figure is a very sympathetic male. He always shows himself to be open and cheerful. He has a lot of joie de vivre, is lively, active and funny. He likes the other dogs and likes to play with them. He is looking for active people with whom he can do something and get to know the good sides of the world. Toby already walks well on a leash, but of course he still has a lot to learn and get used to life in a house. A second dog would give him orientation, but it is not a condition. The little male was born in May 2025 (estimated) and is 35 cm tall. He was neutered, chipped and vaccinated at the shelter. Before departure he will still get a blood test. He could then travel with the next ITV Grenzenlos transport. Please call or send us the contact form if you want to help Toby.

Toby ist ein knuffiger kleiner Kerl Toby wurde am Straßenrand in Rumänien zwischen zwei Ortschaften gesehen. Er war mit einer großen Gruppe Hunden zusammen und hat gehumpelt. Es war wahrscheinlich eine läufige Hündin dabei und er wurde von den anderen Hunden verletzt. Er wurde eingefangen und im September 2026 im Tierheim von Sisterea aufgenommen. Dort ist er in Sicherheit vor den Hundefängern und wartet auf ein schönes Zuhause. Dabei möchte ihm der ITV Grenzenlos gern helfen. Er humpelt nicht mehr. Im Tierheim war er anfangs etwas zurückhaltend, hat sich dann aber schnell geöffnet. Der kleiner Toby mit der lustigen Figur ist ein sehr sympathischer Rüde. Er zeigt sich immer aufgeschlossen und fröhlich. Er hat viel Lebensfreude, ist munter, bewegungsfreudig und lustig. Er mag die anderen Hunde und spielt mit ihnen gern. Er sucht aktive Menschen, mit denen er etwas unternehmen und die schönen Seiten der Welt kennenlernen kann. Toby geht bereits gut an der Leine, muss aber natürlich noch viel lernen und sich an das Leben in einem Haus gewöhnen. Ein zweiter Hund würde ihm dabei Orientierung geben, ist aber keine Bedingung. Der kleine Rüde ist im Mai 2025 (geschätzt) geboren und 35 cm groß. Er wurde im Tierheim kastriert, gechipt und geimpft. Vor der Ausreise bekommt er noch einen Blutschnelltest. Er könnte dann mit dem nächsten Transport des ITV Grenzenlos ausreisen. Bitte rufen sie an oder oder senden Sie uns das Kontaktformular, wenn sie Toby helfen möchten. Tobi im Video: be/qB8VXo4oEEU

About Tobi

What life with Tobi looks like

Tobi 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 Tobi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tobi?: 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 Tobi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tobi 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 Tobi 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 Tobi 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 Tobi 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.
