How do I contact the shelter about Elina?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Elina if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ein Herz für Fellnasen 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 Elina 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 Elina 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 Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elina 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.

Elina

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

I don't know what I did wrong. All I ever wanted was to be loved. My whole life I spent chained. 😪 Day after day. Year after year. Without freedom, without a warm home and without the closeness of a person I so longed for. I wish for a home with a soft bed, loving people and lots of security. People who will never chain me again. People who will show me that a dog can be loved and cared for. People who will give me the time I need to settle in. 🐾❤️ I've waited so many years. Now I hope for my little miracle - for people who see me and say: "Elina, you can stay with us forever." ❤️ I am Elina. And I finally want to know what a real home feels like. 🥺🐾 Introduced on 26.09.2026. Female, 40 cm tall, 4 years old. We took in two female dogs that were previously chained... one of them had a wound on her neck... She lived in the yard on a chain, together with the other female dog that gave birth to puppies at our clinic.

Ich weiß nicht, was ich falsch gemacht habe. Eigentlich wollte ich doch nur eines: geliebt werden. Mein ganzes bisheriges Leben verbrachte ich an einer Kette. 😪 Tag für Tag. Jahr für Jahr. Ohne Freiheit, ohne ein warmes Zuhause und ohne die Nähe eines Menschen, nach der ich mich so sehr gesehnt habe. Ich wünsche mir ein Zuhause mit einem weichen Körbchen, liebevollen Menschen und ganz viel Geborgenheit. Menschen, die mich niemals wieder an eine Kette legen. Menschen, die mir zeigen, dass ein Hund geliebt und umsorgt werden kann. Menschen, die mir die Zeit geben, die ich brauche, um ganz anzukommen. 🐾❤️ Ich habe so viele Jahre gewartet. Jetzt hoffe ich auf mein kleines Wunder – auf Menschen, die mich sehen und sagen: „Elina, du darfst für immer bei uns bleiben.“ ❤️ Ich bin Elina. Und ich möchte endlich wissen, wie sich ein richtiges Zuhause anfühlt. 🥺🐾 Vorgestellt am 26.09.2026. Weiblich, 40 cm groß, 4 Jahre alt. Wir haben zwei Hündinnen aufgenommen, die zuvor an der Kette gehalten wurden... eine von ihnen hatte eine Wunde am Hals... Sie lebte im Hof an der Kette, zusammen mit der anderen Hündin, die in unserer Klinik Welpen zur Welt brachte.

About Elina

What life with Elina looks like

Elina is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Fellnasen e.V. in Waakirchen.

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.
