How do I contact the shelter about Willow?

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

Can I adopt Willow 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 Willow 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 Willow 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 Willow 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.

Willow

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

In Romania, Willow was thrown over the high fence of the animal shelter in Sisterea one night, along with Fiedler and Yoda. One can be grateful that the three male dogs were unharmed, suffering no broken bones upon landing on the hard ground and no bite wounds from the existing, free-roaming pack of dogs at the animal shelter. Willow could be Yoda's brother; however, he is already grown and not as energetic. He is also more reserved, almost a bit shy. But that is understandable, given that he only recently lost his home and now has to navigate being in the animal shelter with so many other dogs. Willow is not afraid, he warms up quickly and then becomes affectionate, allowing himself to be petted. He has a beautiful medium size and is suitable both for a single person and as a family dog. Of course, he still needs to learn a lot and be well-trained. He does, however, already walk obediently on the leash. The cute Willow was born in July 2023 and stands 48 cm tall. He has been at the animal shelter since mid-July 2025. He is already microchipped and vaccinated. He will be neutered and receive a blood quick test before travel arrangements are made. Please call if you would like to help the dear lad: 05071 – 4126 or . Willow in the video:

In Rumänien wurde Willow eines Nachts – zusammen mit Fiedler und Yoda – über den hohen Zaun des Tierheims in Sisterea geworfen. Man kann von Glück sprechen, dass den drei Rüden nichts passiert ist, keine Knochenbrüche beim Aufkommen auf den harten Boden und keine Bisswunden durch die vorhandene, freilaufende Hundemeute im Tierheim. Willow könnte der Bruder von Yoda sein, er ist aber bereits erwachsen und nicht mehr so stürmisch. Auch ist er zurückhaltender, fast etwas schüchtern. Aber das ist ja verständlich, da er erst vor kurzem sein Zuhause verloren hat und jetzt im Tierheim mit so vielen Hunden klar kommen muss. Willow ist nicht ängstlich, er taut schnell auf und wird dann zutraulich und lässt sich streicheln. Er hat eine schöne mittlere Größe und ist sowohl für eine Einzelperson als auch als Familienhund geeignet. Auch er muss natürlich noch viel lernen und gut erzogen werden. Er geht aber bereits brav an der Leine. Der hübsche Willow ist im Juli 2023 geboren alt und 48 cm groß. Im Tierheim ist er seit Mitte Juli 2025. Er ist bereits gechipt und geimpft. Er wird noch kastriert und bekommt vor der Ausreise einen Blutschnelltest. Willow kommt am 13.6. nach Deutschland in eine Pflegestelle in Feggendorf.

About Willow

What life with Willow looks like

Willow is a medium-sized 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. 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.
