Ella

German Shepherd · Male

Profile Name: Ella Breed: Mix (shepherd-like mix) Origin: likely Turkey Born: ca. 2020 Gender: female dog, not neutered Current Location: 23701 Eutin Health: – Mediterranean diseases test 02/2026 negative – last breeding: 02/2026 compatibility with others: – children: no – cats: no – dogs: possible, must be individually tested (clear, adult dog) Personality: friendly, gentle, patient, suspicious of environmental stimuli, fearful, territorial, eager to learn We explicitly ask for contact through the contact form or by email when inquiring about Ella. We cannot provide telephone information! Adopt me! Home sought for Ella – sensitive female dog with a clear nature Ella is a ca. 5-year-old female dog with a shepherd-like appearance and corresponding personality. She likely came from Turkey and currently lives in 23701 Eutin. The surrender is not easy for her current family, but it is evident that living together is not working as originally expected. For the dog and the human, the search for a suitable, permanent home is the most sensible decision. Ella is generally friendly, more gentle and patient. She can stay alone for several hours and shows readiness to learn and be cooperative when it comes to learning new things. At the same time, she brings a clear insecurity towards environmental stimuli. Vehicles, bicycles, some people, or noises can unsettle her. In such situations, she reacts fearfully or suspiciously and secures herself by the leash or lead when outside. In the household environment, she is territorial towards male visitors and suspiciously so in certain situations. She bonds with women faster than with men. New sounds or household items can also unsettle her. Ella therefore requires clear, calm, and very confident people who can convey structure, leadership, and security to her. She has basic experience with other dogs. Living with a clear, adult, and secure dog is not excluded but must be individually tested. Cats and children should not live in the household. A single woman or a dog-experienced couple in a quiet, rural environment is sought. A structured environment with clear rules is essential for Ella. Topics like environmental stimulus adaptation, frustration tolerance, and resource clarification must continue to be consistently but calmly supported. Ella is not a beginner dog. However, for those with experience and willing to work on trust and orientation, Ella will become a loyal, sensitive companion. Important note:

Steckbrief Name: Ella Rasse: Mix (schäferhundartiger Mix) Herkunft: vermutlich Türkei Geboren: ca. 12/2020 Geschlecht: Hündin, nicht kastriert Aktueller Aufenthaltsort: 23701 Eutin Gesundheit: – Mittelmeerkrankheiten-Test 02/2026 negativ – letzte Läufigkeit: 02/2026 Verträglichkeit: – Kinder: nein – Katzen: nein – Hunde: möglich, muss individuell getestet werden (klarer, erwachsener Hund) Charakter: freundlich, sanft, geduldig, misstrauisch gegenüber Umweltreizen, schreckhaft, territorial, lernwillig Bei Tieren in der Vermittlungshilfe bitten wir ausdrücklich um Kontakt über das Kontaktformular oder per E-Mail. Telefonische Auskünfte können wir nicht geben! Adoptier mich! Zuhause gesucht für Ella – sensible Hündin mit klarem Wesen Ella ist eine ca. 5-jährige Hündin mit schäferhundtypischer Ausstrahlung und entsprechendem Charakter. Sie stammt vermutlich aus der Türkei und lebt aktuell in 23701 Eutin. Die Abgabe fällt ihrer aktuellen Familie nicht leicht, jedoch zeigt sich im Alltag, dass das Zusammenleben nicht so funktioniert wie ursprünglich erwartet. Für Hund und Mensch ist die Suche nach einem passenden, endgültigen Zuhause die sinnvollste Entscheidung. Ella ist grundsätzlich freundlich, eher sanft und geduldig. Sie kann mehrere Stunden alleine bleiben und zeigt sich lernbereit sowie kooperativ, wenn es darum geht, Neues zu erarbeiten. Gleichzeitig bringt sie eine deutliche Unsicherheit gegenüber Umweltreizen mit. Fahrzeuge, Fahrräder, manche Personen oder Geräusche verunsichern sie. In solchen Situationen reagiert sie schreckhaft oder misstrauisch und läuft draußen zur Absicherung an der Leine bzw. Schleppleine. Im häuslichen Umfeld zeigt sie sich territorial gegenüber männlichem Besuch und situativ misstrauisch. Sie schließt sich Frauen schneller an als Männern. Neue Geräusche oder Haushaltsgegenstände können sie ebenfalls verunsichern. Ella benötigt daher klare, ruhige und sehr souveräne Menschen, die ihr Struktur, Führung und Sicherheit vermitteln. Mit anderen Hunden hat sie grundsätzlich Erfahrung. Ein Zusammenleben mit einem klaren, erwachsenen und sicheren Hund ist nicht ausgeschlossen, muss jedoch individuell getestet werden. Katzen und Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. Gesucht wird eine alleinstehende Frau oder ein hundeerfahrenes Paar in ruhiger, ländlicher Umgebung. Ein strukturiertes Umfeld mit klaren Regeln ist für Ella essenziell. Themen wie Umweltreizgewöhnung, Frustrationstoleranz und Ressourcenklärung müssen weiterhin konsequent, aber ruhig begleitet werden. Ella ist keine Anfängerhündin. Wer jedoch Erfahrung mitbringt und bereit ist, an Vertrauen und Orientierung zu arbeiten, bekommt eine loyale, feinfühlige Begleiterin an seine Seite. Wichtiger Hinweis: Ella lebt bis zur

About Ella

What life with Ella looks like

Ella is a medium-sized adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierschutz Eutin und Umgebung e.V. in Eutin.

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 Ella, answered.

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