Elfo

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 3 months

It's puppy season, and with it comes the sad time when unwanted babies are simply abandoned and left to their fate. How people can do such things will always remain beyond our understanding. If our partners hadn't found them and asked for help, these four puppy babies would undoubtedly have died. Infested with parasites, starved, dehydrated. Or killed by stray dogs or wild animals. But they were lucky and were taken in by the Rescue of Paola and Pierpaolo. Here, they were fed and freed from the tormenting parasites. When we met the four little ones during our team project tour in mid-April 2026, they had already recovered well. Fortunately, nothing reminded them of the hardships they had to endure. For their ultimate happiness, Eleonora and her brothers Elfo, Ermes, and Edi now only need a home with loving people. Because no matter how well and lovingly they are treated in the Rescue: it is no substitute for a family of their own. As soon as possible, Eleonora, Elfo, Ermes, and Edi should now travel to Germany so that they can find their dream home for good. Would you like to give one of these little treasures the chance at a wonderful dog life with a close family connection? If you are currently looking for a new furry family member and are aware that adoption brings not only a lot of joy but also a lot of work and great responsibility, we look forward to your message. We provide nationwide support.

Es ist Welpenzeit, und damit auch wieder die traurige Zeit, dass unerwünscht zur Welt gekommene Babys einfach ausgesetzt und ihrem Schicksal überlassen werden. Wie Menschen so etwas tun können, wird uns immer unverständlich bleiben.Wenn man sie nicht gefunden und unsere Partner um Hilfe gebeten hätten, wären diese vier Hundebabys ohne Zweifel gestorben. Von Parasiten befallen, verhungert, verdurstet. Oder von Streunerhunden oder Wildtieren getötet.Aber sie hatten Glück und wurden im Rescue von Paola und Pierpaolo aufgenommen. Hier wurden sie gefüttert und wurden von den quälenden Parasiten befreit.Als wir sie während unserer Team-Projekttour Mitte April 2026 kennenlernten, hatte die vier Kleinen sich schon gut erholt. Es erinnerte glücklicherweise nichts mehr an die Strapazen, die die Babys hatten durchmachen müssen.Zum endgültigen Glück fehlt den Schwesterchen Edi sowie Eleonora und ihren Brüderchen Elfo sowie Ermes nun nur noch ein Zuhause bei lieben Menschen. Denn so gut und liebevoll sie im Rescue behandelt werden: Es ist kein Ersatz für eine eigene Familie.So schnell wie möglich sollen Eleonora, Elfo, Ermes und Edi nun nach Deutschland reisen, damit sie hier ihre Traumzuhause für immer finden können.Möchten Sie einem dieser kleinen Schätzchen die Chance auf ein wunderbares Hundeleben mit engem Familienanschluss schenken?;ra=m29. Mai 2026:Elfo durfte auf seinen deutschen Pflegeplatz reisen.07. Juni 2026: Der freundliche Elfo hat sich in Windeseile in seiner Pflegestelle eingelebt. Er versteht sich gut mit der vorhandenen kleinen Hündin, spielt und tobt sehr gerne mit ihr im Garten.Elfo ist ein gelehriger junger Rüde, wobei er durchaus selbstbewusst ist. Der junge Hundebub fährt völlig problemlos im Auto mit. Die Stubenreinheit setzt er auch weitestgehend um. Elfo hat bereits erlernt für einen kurzen Zeitraum entspannt allein zuhause auf die Heimkehr vom Pflegefrauchen zu warten.Was besonders zu erwähnen ist: der Süße liebt alle Menschen, zeigt sich neugierig und verschmust. Er ist also bereit in ein glückliches und behütetes Hundeleben zu starten. Wir suchen eine liebe Familie, die Elfo mit Konsequenz und Geduld das Hundeeinmaleins beibringt. Kinder sollten bereits im Teenageralter sein.Wenn Sie sich für Elfo interessieren, freuen wir uns über Ihre Kontaktaufnahme.Wir vermitteln bundesweit.Ihre Ansprechpartnerin für diese

About Elfo

What life with Elfo looks like

Elfo is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — 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.

🇩🇪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 Elfo, answered.

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