Eli &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female

Eli has made herself particularly pretty with her dark suit and white blouse and beautiful white socks—and she isn’t just adorable on the outside… Eli is only two years old (as of January 2025), but she has already endured a lot of suffering. At the same time, she knows very little about the world, as Eli’s home was previously a tree on a field, where the young, athletic female dog was tied to. Neighbors of the owner informed the animal welfare workers at ArcoNatura about the fate of the sad girl, which led to a volunteer going to convince the owner to hand Eli over to the animal welfare workers. Fortunately, the man was understanding, and our cheerful and extremely grateful heartbreaker could move into the animal shelter. Warm, protected beds, regular meals, and playmates, Eli truly appreciates all of that, but most importantly are the cuddles from the loving hound ladies and time spent with her rescuers. Unfortunately, there is always something to do in the animal shelter, and more than 200 dogs are waiting to receive their share of affection—so Eli is a bit short on that. Our medium-sized snuggle ball is looking for a family that can shower her with more than enough tenderness. Eli wants to feel loved, preferably with full-body involvement. And Eli is athletic! Her elegant build, quick learning ability, and trust in the people she loves make her the perfect companion dog for any adventure. Whether camping, hiking, cycling, sledding, kicking a ball, or at the dog park with agility, tracking, or dog dance— we are sure that Eli has a bright future ahead. If you are active and enjoy being outdoors, if you like to snuggle on the couch after long walks, if you are already completely smitten with Eli’s big eyes and are already considering what color the dishes of your new best friend will be, then we are thrilled to hear from you soon! Eli has her travel bag packed and her stylish blue passport is ready for a big trip to happiness…

Eli hat sich besonders hübsch gemacht mit ihrem dunklen Anzug zur weißen Bluse und schönen weißen Socken – und sie ist nicht nur von außen zum Verlieben … Eli ist erst zwei Jahre alt (Stand 01/2025), aber sie musste schon viel Leid ertragen. Gleichzeitig kennt sie noch kaum etwas von der Welt, denn Elis Zuhause war bisher ein Baum auf einem Feld, an den die junge, athletische Hündin angebunden war. Nachbarn ihres Besitzers informierten die Tierschützer der ArcoNatura über das Schicksal des traurigen Mädchens, woraufhin sich eine Freiwillige auf den Weg machte, um den Halter zu überzeugen, Eli in die Hände der Tierschützer abzugeben. Zum Glück zeigte sich der Mann einsichtig und unsere fröhliche und äußerst dankbare Herzensbrecherin konnte ins Tierheim umsiedeln. Warme, geschützte Liegeplätze, regelmäßige Mahlzeiten und Spielkameraden, all das weiß Eli wirklich zu schätzen, aber am wichtigsten sind der zärtlichen Hundedame Streicheleinheiten und gemeinsame Zeit mit ihren Rettern. Leider ist im Tierheim immer etwas zu tun, und mehr als 200 Hunde warten darauf, ihren Teil an Zuneigung zu bekommen – und so kommt Eli etwas kurz. Unsere mittelgroße Knutschkugel sucht eine Familie, die ihr Zärtlichkeit im Überfluss schenken kann. Eli möchte spüren, dass sie geliebt wird, gern mit vollem Körpereinsatz. Und Eli ist sportlich! Ihr eleganter Körperbau, ihre schnelle Auffassungsgabe und ihr Vertrauen in von ihr geliebte Menschen prädestinieren Eli als tollen Begleithund für alle denkbaren Abenteuer. Ob beim Camping, Wandern, Radfahren, Rodeln, Kicken oder auf dem Hundeplatz beim Agility, Fährtensuchen oder Dog Dance – wir sind uns sicher, dass Eli eine glänzende Zukunft vor sich hat. Wenn Sie also aktiv und gern draußen sind, wenn Sie nach langen Spaziergängen gern ausgiebig auf der Couch kuscheln, wenn Sie Elis großen Augen sowieso schon komplett verfallen sind und schon überlegen, welche Farbe das Geschirr Ihrer neuen besten Freundin wohl haben sollte, dann freuen wir uns enorm darauf, schon bald von Ihnen zu hören! Eli hat ihr Köfferchen reisefertig gepackt und ihr schicker blauer Reisepass ist einsatzfertig für eine große Reise ins Glück…

About Eli &#8211

What life with Eli &#8211 looks like

Eli &#8211 is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

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 Eli &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Eli &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Eli &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Eli &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein ARCA 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 Eli &#8211 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 Eli &#8211 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 Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Eli &#8211 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.
