Adopt Elafi

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

compatible, uncertain, calm, Elafi and Elafaki are mother and daughter. They came to us at the animal shelter together, as their owner had died and they wanted to put them on the street. They seem to have not experienced much and Elafi is very reserved towards strangers. Her daughter becomes more comfortable after some time, but Elafi always stays in the background. Only when someone spends several days in a row with her, she comes out of herself and approaches. She needs a quiet home, preferably with only dogs. Much patience and perseverance is needed with Elafi, but it will be worth it. They are all vaccinated, microchipped and have an EU certificate. They will be checked for Mediterranean diseases according to their age. See information on our homepage. Every dog placed makes room for one of those dogs that live a life of hunger and emaciation.

verträglich, unsicher, ruhig, Elafi und Elafaki sind Mutter und Tochter. Zusammen kamen sie zu uns ins Tierheim, da ihr Besitzer verstorben sei und man sie auf die Straße setzen wollte. Sie scheinen nicht viel kennengelernt zu haben und Elafi ist Fremden gegenüber sehr zurückhaltend. Ihre Tochter kommt nach einiger Zeit, doch Elafi hält sich immer im Hintergrund. Erst wenn man sich mehrere Tage hintereinander mit ihr beschäftigt, kommt sie etwas aus sich heraus und nähert sich. Sie benötigt ein ruhiges Zuhause, gerne mit Ersthund. Es wird viel Geduld und Ausdauer bei Elafi benötigt, doch es wird sich lohnen. sind alle geimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Ausweis. Sie werden altersentsprechend auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten gecheckt. Siehe dazu Info auf unserer Homepage. Jeder vermittelte Hunde macht Platz für einen jener Hunde, die hungernd und ausgemergelt ihr Dasein fristen müssen. AUFENTHALTSORT

About Elafi

What life with Elafi looks like

Elafi is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. in Greece.

An 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 Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.

Frequently asked

Adopting Elafi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elafi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elafi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elafi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not 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 Elafi 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 Elafi 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 A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elafi 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.
