At just nine months old, Elda has already come frighteningly close to losing her life. This beautiful little girl was one of three dogs being held by dog catchers, facing the heartbreaking prospect of being put to sleep. With only hours left to save them, we knew we had to do everything we could to give them a chance. On 15th October 2026, we received an urgent message and a secretly recorded video showing three frightened dogs being held in a room awaiting their fate. Unless they were rescued by midday the following day, their lives would be over. Each dog needed €45 to secure their release, and thanks to the urgent efforts to save them, all three were brought to safety. Elda was immediately taken to the vet alongside her two companions. Thankfully, her initial examination showed that she was healthy, although she still needed treatment for fleas and parasites, followed by her vaccinations and the usual care needed to prepare her for a better future. Despite everything she has been through, Elda is an incredibly affectionate little girl who absolutely loves cuddles. She has so much love to give, and it is heartbreaking to think that such a gentle, loving young dog came so close to never experiencing the kindness and security she deserves.

About Elda

What life with Elda looks like

Elda is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Hope VMS / Elaines Dogs in Bosnia.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window β€” house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦Adopting from Bosnia and Herzegovina

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country β€” confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Elda, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elda?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope VMS / Elaines Dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elda on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elda if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Hope VMS / Elaines Dogs 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 Elda 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Elda isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Hope VMS / Elaines Dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elda 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect β€” 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.
