Elio

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Elio - a young treasure who finally wants to discover how beautiful life can be ❤️ Elio is a young male dog around 1.5 years old, whose story particularly touched us. After rescuing his sisters, our animal rescuers also found Elio - chained and completely on his own. Of course, we couldn't leave him behind and gave him the chance to a better life. His sisters have already moved to their forever homes in Germany. Now Elio is still waiting for this chapter to begin for him. Initially, Elio is still a bit reserved and unsure. Much is new to him and he has to learn that people mean well and that a dog's life is more than what he has experienced so far. But as soon as he realizes he is safe, more of his happy, playful nature comes out. Elio is now starting to play with the other dogs and increasingly enjoys seeking out human company. It's especially beautiful to see how he slowly thaws and discovers how great shared cuddle sessions can be. Of course, he still has a lot of nonsense in his head - after all, Elio is still a young dog at 1.5 years old who wants to discover the world. ❤️ Elio doesn't know much yet and will have to learn a lot from scratch in his new home. Housebreaking, everyday life, leash, rules and all the small things that are self-evident to us are new territory for him. But he brings the best prerequisites: he is friendly, open, curious and willing to engage with his humans. We wish for Elio people who show him with patience and loving consistency how life in a family works. People who give him the time to settle in, build trust and discover the world with him. Elio has already taken a big step. Now all he needs is one thing: a home of his own where he can finally just be a young dog - with playing, cuddling, learning and lots of love. 🐾❤️

Elio – ein junger Schatz, der endlich entdecken möchte, wie schön das Leben sein kann ❤️ Elio ist ein etwa 1,5 Jahre alter junger Rüde, dessen Geschichte uns besonders berührt. Nachdem wir seine Schwestern retten konnten, fanden unsere Tierschützer auch Elio – angekettet und ganz auf sich allein gestellt. Natürlich konnten wir ihn nicht zurücklassen und haben auch ihm die Chance auf ein besseres Leben gegeben. Seine Schwestern durften inzwischen bereits in ihre Für-immer-Zuhause nach Deutschland ziehen. Nun wartet Elio noch darauf, dass auch für ihn dieses Kapitel beginnt. Anfangs zeigt sich Elio noch etwas zurückhaltend und verunsichert. Vieles ist für ihn neu und er muss erst lernen, dass Menschen es gut mit ihm meinen und dass ein Hundeleben aus weit mehr besteht als dem, was er bisher kennenlernen durfte. Doch sobald er merkt, dass er sicher ist, kommt immer mehr von seinem fröhlichen, verspielten Wesen zum Vorschein. Inzwischen beginnt Elio, mit den anderen Hunden zu spielen und genießt es zunehmend, auch die Nähe der Menschen zu suchen. Besonders schön ist zu sehen, wie er langsam auftaut und entdeckt, wie toll gemeinsame Kuscheleinheiten sein können. Dabei hat er natürlich noch jede Menge Flausen im Kopf – schließlich ist Elio mit seinen etwa 1,5 Jahren noch ein junger Hund, der die Welt entdecken möchte. ❤️ Elio kennt bisher noch nicht viel und wird in seinem neuen Zuhause vieles von Grund auf lernen müssen. Stubenreinheit, Alltag, Leine, Regeln und all die kleinen Dinge, die für uns selbstverständlich sind, sind für ihn Neuland. Dafür bringt er die besten Voraussetzungen mit: Er ist freundlich, offen, neugierig und bereit, sich auf seine Menschen einzulassen. Wir wünschen uns für Elio Menschen, die ihm mit Geduld und liebevoller Konsequenz zeigen, wie das Leben in einer Familie funktioniert. Menschen, die ihm die Zeit geben, anzukommen, Vertrauen aufzubauen und gemeinsam mit ihm die Welt zu entdecken. Elio hat bereits einen großen Schritt gemacht. Jetzt fehlt ihm nur noch eines: ein eigenes Zuhause, in dem er endlich einfach ein junger Hund sein darf – mit Spielen, Kuscheln, Lernen und ganz viel Liebe. 🐾❤️

About Elio

What life with Elio looks like

Elio is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellnasen Stuttgart e.V. in Stuttgart.

An young 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 Elio, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elio?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Fellnasen Stuttgart 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 — Fellnasen Stuttgart 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 Fellnasen Stuttgart 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.
