adoption requirements adoption process Now request this animal! adoption requirements adoption process Elio has found a home! His story: White, fluffy fur, dark button eyes that look curiously at you, and a small, hesitant wag of the tail that says: "I'm not sure yet, but I could be your very best friend." This is Elio. About 6 months old. Still a bit cautious, but full of hope. His name means "Gift of the Sun." And that's exactly what he wants to be: a little sunbeam in your life. The white sensitive boy was lucky and recently got to travel to a foster home. However, the only dog in the family doesn't get along well with Elio due to health reasons, and therefore, Elio should find his own home quickly. Our Sun's Gift is still a bit shy, which likely stems from the fact that he can't fully settle and build trust in his foster home due to the external circumstances. Essentially, he just needs a safe place with dog people who aren't expecting anything from the young pup and can approach him with empathy, giving him support without rushing him. Elio is a puppy on the cusp of becoming a young dog and wants to learn and be loved. He likes people very much and is well-socialized with his fellow animals. A positive reinforcement trainer would be great for the initial period, and also a young dog play session, where the cuddly Elio can make and play with new doggy friends. He came from a place of horrors where he fought for survival with other dogs. With some barely eaten corn from the ground, they narrowly escaped starvation, and their previous life was undoubtedly filled with hunger and fear. But Elio had a stroke of luck: our animal rescuer Roxana discovered the dogs and brought them to safety. Elio no longer needs to fear or go hungry, and he trusts humans again. He is very loving and gentle. You can feel: this puppy just wants to be loved and loved. He will probably grow into a large dog and likely has herding dog genes. Therefore, we are looking for a home that has experience with these traits or is willing to work with them. Herding dogs are not city dogs. They should live in a rural or suburban setting, and a yard would be great. Our sweet Elio – he has survived the worst, now he's looking for someone to show him how wonderful life can be. Maybe YOU are his happy ending? If you're smitten with Elio, feel free to contact us. Many thanks Chris W.! You named Elio! Date: 07.09. This animal is vaccinated. This animal is microchipped.

Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Jetzt dieses Tier anfragen! Vermittlungsvoraussetzungen Vermittlungsablauf Elio hat sein Zuhause gefunden! Seine Geschichte: Weißes, flauschiges Fell, dunkle Knopfaugen, die dich neugierig anschauen und ein kleines, zaghaftes Schwanzwedeln, das sagt: „Ich trau mich noch nicht richtig, aber ich könnte dein allerbester Freund werden““! Das ist Elio. Etwa 6 Monate jung. Noch etwas vorsichtig, aber voller Hoffnung. Sein Name bedeutet „Geschenk der Sonne“. Und genau das will er sein: ein kleiner Sonnenstrahl in deinem Leben. Der weiße sensible Junge hatte Glück und durfte vor kurzem in eine Pflegestelle ausreisen. Der Ersthund der Familie kommt aber aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht gut mit Elio zurecht und deshalb sollte Elio schnell sein eigenes Zuhause finden. Unser Sonnengeschenk ist noch etwas schüchtern, was wohl daran liegt, dass er in seiner Pflegestelle nicht so gut zur Ruhe und ins Vertrauen kommen kann aufgrund der äußeren Umstände. An sich braucht es einfach einen sicheren Halt bei Hundemenschen, die erstmal nichts von dem Jüngling erwarten und ihn mit Empathie ankommen lassen, die ihm Halt geben und ihn nicht drängen. Elio ist ein Welpe an der Schwelle zum Junghund und er möchte lernen und gefallen. Er mag Menschen sehr und ist gut sozialisiert mit seinen Artgenossen. Ein mit positiver Verstärkung arbeitender Hundetrainer wäre für die Anfangszeit sicherlich toll und auch eine Jungshundespielstunde, in der der knuffige Elio mit Hundekumpels weiter Freundschaften knüpfen und spielen kann. Er stammt von einem Hof des Schreckens, wo er gemeinsam mit weiteren Hunden ums Überleben kämpfte. Mit etwas Mais, das sie vom Boden gefressen haben, sind sie knapp dem Hungertod entkommen und ihr bisheriges Leben war bestimmt von Hunger und Angst. Doch Elio hatte Glück im Unglück: unsere Tierschützerin Roxana entdeckte die Hunde und brachte sie in Sicherheit. Elio muss nun keine Angst und keinen Hunger mehr haben und er vertraut uns Menschen wieder. Er ist sehr lieb und sanft. Man spürt: Dieses Hundekind will einfach nur lieben und geliebt werden. Er wird wahrscheinlich einmal ein großer Hund werden und hat sehr wahrscheinlich Herdenschutzhund-Gene. Daher suchen wir für ihn ein Zuhause, das bereits Erfahrungen mit diesen Eigenschaften gemacht hat oder dazu bereit ist, sich mit diesen auseinanderzusetzen. Herdenschutzhunde sind keine Stadthunde. Sie sollten eher ländlich oder in Stadtrandlage leben und ein Garten wäre toll. Unser süßer Elio – hat das Schlimmste überlebt, jetzt sucht er jemanden, der ihm zeigt, wie schön das Leben sein kann. Vielleicht bist genau DU sein Happy End? Wenn du dich in Elio verliebt hast, melde dich gern bei uns. Er kann nach positiver Vorkontrolle gechipt, mehrfach geimpft, entwurmt und entfloht mit EU-Heimtierausweis und gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 500 Euro in sein neues Zuhause reisen. Vielen Dank Chris W.! Du hast Elio seinen Namen geschenkt! Stand: 07.09.2025

About Elio

What life with Elio looks like

Elio is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ein Herz für Streuner e.V. in München.

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 Elio, answered.

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