Eliot

Male · Adult · 8 years

Age: 7 years (* 1.9.2018) Weight: 18 kg (neutered male dog) Eliot is a Labrador mix, a sort of "fit version" of the breed: active, clever, and with a huge heart. He came to the shelter for family reasons and has now been waiting here for a year for a new beginning. With familiar dog walkers and shelter staff, Eliot is an absolutely wonderful dog. Once he gets used to you, you will gain a loyal companion for life. He knows basic commands such as "sit" and "give paw," doesn't pull on the leash, and reads people beautifully. He loves outings, nature, and above all water: he eagerly jumps for sticks and happily carries them back. He handles hikes of up to 15 km without any trouble. He behaves wonderfully outdoors and has no tendency to hunt game: roe deer, hares, and wild boar don't get him excited, he just watches them. He pays no attention to dogs behind a fence. When it comes to off-leash tolerance, he wants to make friends with some dogs, tolerates others, and simply doesn't click with some. Eliot is not a dog that wins people over at first sight, and perhaps that is part of why he has waited so long for a new home. He needs time to get used to a new person. A prospective owner should visit him a few times and gradually earn his trust. It is definitely worth it. He is somewhat fearful: he gets scared of noise, commotion, and larger groups of people. He has a great deal of respect for people in dark clothing, especially with hoods, and for trekking poles. In such situations he may panic, so this needs to be taken into account and handled sensitively. He will do best in a calm environment with active adults and no children. Children don't agree with him: he is afraid of them (for example, when he met a small boy carrying a toy sword, he got frightened and tried to run away). The ideal home for him is one where he has his "people" all to himself, or possibly a confident dog he can get along with, who could serve as a kind of "guide" for him. If Eliot has caught your interest, please fill out our adoption questionnaire, and we will get back to you.

Věk: 7 let (* 1.9.2018) Váha: 18 kg (pes kastrovaný) Eliot je kříženec labradora, taková jeho „fit verze“ – aktivní, šikovný a s obrovským srdcem. Do útulku se dostal z rodinných důvodů a už rok tu čeká na nový začátek. Se známými venčiteli a s pracovníky útulku je Eliot naprosto úžasný pes. Jakmile si na vás zvykne, získáte věrného parťáka na celý život. Umí základní povely jako sedni a dej pac, na vodítku netahá a krásně člověka vnímá. Miluje výlety, přírodu a hlavně vodu – nadšeně skáče pro klacky a s radostí je nosí zpět. Bez problémů ujde výlet i 15 km. Venku se chová krásně, nemá sklony k lovení zvěře – srnky, zajíci ani divoká prasata ho nerozhodí, jen je pozoruje. Pejsků za plotem si nevšímá, co se týče snášenlivosti na volno, s některými psy se chce kamarádit, jiné toleruje a s některými si prostě nesedne. Eliot ale není pes „na první dobrou“ a možná i proto čeká tak dlouho na nový domov. Potřebuje totiž čas, aby si na nového člověka zvykl. Budoucí majitel by za ním měl párkrát přijít a postupně si získat jeho důvěru – rozhodně to stojí za to. Je trochu bojácný, leká se hluku, zmatku a větších skupin lidí. Velký respekt má z lidí v tmavém oblečení, s kapucí a také z turistických holí – v takových situacích může zpanikařit, takže je potřeba s tím počítat a pracovat citlivě. Nejlépe mu bude v klidném prostředí u aktivních lidí bez dětí. Děti mu nedělají dobře – bojí se jich (např. při setkání s malým chlapečkem s mečem se lekl a snažil se utéct). Ideální je pro něj domov, kde bude mít „své“ lidi jen pro sebe či případně sebevědomý pes, se kterým si sedne, by mu mohl být takovým, průvodcem“. Pokud vás Eliot zaujal, prosíme o vyplnění adopčního dotazníku a my vás budeme zpětně kontaktovat.

About Eliot

What life with Eliot looks like

Eliot is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Útulek Dogsy in Czech Republic.

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 Czech Republic

Czech shelters (útulky) include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID. The adopter signs a written contract (smlouva) — the shelter may follow up to verify wellbeing.

Frequently asked

Adopting Eliot, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Eliot?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Útulek Dogsy handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Eliot on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Eliot if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Útulek Dogsy 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Eliot 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 Eliot 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 Útulek Dogsy early rather than rehoming privately; they know Eliot 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 (CS). 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.
