How do I contact the shelter about Ella G?

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

Can I adopt Ella G if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelen für Seelchen 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 G 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 G 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 Seelen für Seelchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ella G 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.

Ella G

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Steckbrief: Age: Born in 2019 Gender: Female Spayed: Yes Character: Very insecure Size: approx. 50 cm Time in Shelter: since March 2022 Family: Brother Fridolin This pretty mouse born in around 2019 named Ella has lived with us for several years. At first, she was cheerful and very friendly towards humans, but the years behind bars have unsettled her. Year by year, she has withdrawn further and no longer lets us get close to her. Most of the time, she sits in the corner, shrinking back and trying to become invisible. The only support is her brother Fridolin. It is truly touching to see how the two snuggle up to each other and support each other. For Ella, we are looking for people who can provide her with a sense of security and thus help her gain trust. She needs clear structures, patience, and calmness to adapt to her new life and develop trust in her people. Which loving person would like to take our Ella in and help her come out of her shell to have a worry-free and fulfilling life? If you are interested in Ella, please fill out our application form () or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Ella is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months old, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Borreliosis, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariosis, and leishmaniasis. The sponsorship for Ella has been taken over by Esther G. and ensures a full plate. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!

Es ist wirklich rührend zu sehen, wie die beiden sich aneinander kuscheln und sich gegenseitig stützen.Für Ella suchen wir Menschen, die ihr Halt und somit Sicherheit geben.

About Ella G

What life with Ella G looks like

Ella G is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
