Elliot (Gracjan)

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 3 years

Elliot (Gracjan) is a 3-year-old Labrador-Shepherd mix who is ready to start his new life. He was found injured on the road after being hit by a car and must have been in terrible pain. The fracture in his leg has healed well thanks to surgery with a fixator, leaving no lasting damage. His recovery process is now almost complete - he walks normally again and is full of energy and joy. Elliot is a curious and active dog who needs mental stimulation. He requires people who enjoy engaging with him and providing him with loving but firm training. Long walks and a home with a garden would be ideal so he can properly expend his energy. He already walks well on a leash. With other dogs, it depends on their personalities, otherwise he is open and interested. Elliot is an energetic companion who will become a great partner for life with the right guidance.

Der Bruch im Beinchen konnte operiert werden und ist dank eines Fixateurs wieder gut zusammengewachsen, so dass keinerlei Beeinträchtigungen zurückgeblieben sind. Sein Genesungsprozess ist inzwischen so gut wie abgeschlossen – er läuft wieder ganz normal und steckt voller Energie und Lebensfreude. Elliot ist ein neugieriger und aktiver Hund, der gefordert werden möchte. Er braucht Menschen, die Spaß daran haben, sich mit ihm zu beschäftigen und ihm liebevoll, aber konsequent die nötige Erziehung geben. Lange Spaziergänge und ein Zuhause mit Garten wären ideal, damit er seine Energie richtig ausleben kann. An der Leine läuft er bereits gut. Mit anderen Rüden entscheidet die Sympathie, ansonsten zeigt er sich offen und interessiert. Elliot ist ein lebhafter Begleiter, der mit der richtigen Führung zu einem tollen Partner fürs Leben wird.

About Elliot (Gracjan)

What life with Elliot (Gracjan) looks like

Elliot (Gracjan) is a large young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.v. in Germany.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Elliot (Gracjan), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elliot (Gracjan)?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.v. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elliot (Gracjan) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elliot (Gracjan) if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 Elliot (Gracjan) 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 Elliot (Gracjan) 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.v. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elliot (Gracjan) 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.
