Adopt Elfie

Mixed Breed · Unknown

The Texel lamb Elfie was born in 2020 near the Lower Saxon foster home Rehden in a small farm. The animals are kept very cleanly there, but Elfie slipped – for whatever reason – through the willow fence, and the farmer was worried something could happen. Therefore, the farmer associated with the foster home Rehden asked the caretaker at the foster home if the Texel lamb could walk on the already wolf-proof fenced pasture until it reached the "slaughter age" (a terrible word). But returning an animal that had once arrived at Schutzengel für Tiere to its original owner is of course not possible. Elfie changed hands for a fair price and can now enjoy her newly won life in the small Schutzengel herd in Lower Saxony until her natural death. Now fill out the paternity declaration.

Das Texelschafmädchen Elfie wurde 2020 in der Nähe der niedersächsischen Pflegestelle Rehden in einer kleinen Landwirtschaft geboren . Die Tiere werden dort sehr ordentlich gehalten, aber Elfie schlüpfte – warum auch immer- gerne durch den Weidenzaun und der Landwirt machte sich Sorgen, dass etwas passieren könnte. Deshalb fragte der mit dem Betreuer in der Pflegestelle Rehden verwandte Landwirt in der Pflegestelle an, ob das Texelschaf bis zur „Schlachtreife“ (furchtbares Wort) dort auf der bereits wolfssicher eingezäunten Wiese mitlaufen könnte. Aber ein Tier, das einmal bei Schutzengel für Tiere angekommen ist, wieder zurückschicken, das geht natürlich gar nicht. Elfie wechselte zu einem fairen Preis den Besitzer und darf seitdem ihr neugewonnenes Leben bis zu ihrem natürlichen Tod in der kleinen Schutzengel-Herde in Niedersachsen genießen.Jetzt Patenschaftserklärung ausfüllen.

About Elfie

What life with Elfie looks like

Elfie is a medium-sized adult mixed breed animal waiting at Schutzengel für Tiere e.V. in Drolshagen.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Elfie far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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 Elfie, answered.

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