Elaine

Husky · Female · Adult · 7 years

Ursprünglich kam Elaine auf Aufforderung des Jugendamtes zu uns. Sie war kurz vermittelt, kam aber leider zurück, weil sie, was wir überhaupt nicht ahnen konnten, im eigenen Heim einen starken Beschützerinstinkt entwickelte. Grundsätzlich ist Elaine sehr lieb zu ihren Menschen. Sie geht gut an der Leine, kennt die Grundkommandos und ist verträglich mit Artgenossen. Man kann super mit ihr arbeiten und auch Maulkorbtraining mit ihr machen. Für Leckerchen fliegt sie glatt bis ins All. Wir sind überzeugt, dass sich mit konsequentem Training bei ihr viel erreichen lässt. Vermutlich hat sie in ihrem ersten Zuhause nichts gelernt und man hat sie schalten und walten lassen. Auch das Alleinebleiben muss sie dringend noch lernen. Bei der Adoption von Elaine muss man wirklich bedenken, dass es dauern wird, bis sie allein bleiben kann. Wichtig wäre ein eher ländliches Zuhause und Hundeerfahrung, da sie einen Beschützerinstinkt entwickeln kann und dann auch schnappt. Wir hoffen, Sie jetzt nicht abgeschreckt zu haben, denn in Elaine steckt ein wirklich toller Hund, ein wahrer Rohdiamant. Wenn Sie sich für die Adoption von Elaine interessieren, schreiben Sie uns gerne eine ausführliche E-Mail, in der Sie etwas über sich und das zukünftige Zuhause von Elaine erzählen.

About Elaine

What life with Elaine looks like

Elaine is a adult husky dog waiting at Tierheim Bergheim in Bergheim.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Elaine, answered.

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