How do I contact the shelter about Ella?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierischgeholfen 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 — Tierischgeholfen 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 Tierischgeholfen 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.

Ella

Mixed Breed · Female

Description Our animal welfare workers report: In Ellas eyes sparkle hope. It is the hope to finally find her own beautiful home. Rescued from the overcrowded city animal shelter, she is already in a much safer place with our Spanish animal rescuers in La Solana. But even this animal shelter does not replace a real, loving family. Ella loves people! This is also part of their genetics; these hunting dogs are bred to live and work closely with humans. The beautiful female dog is looking forward to shared activities, shared walks, and every friendly gesture. She especially needs a friendly hand, stability, and security. Ella already runs quite well on a leash; some practice should be done in the new home. The loving mixed-breed female dog has no problems with car rides; she is an uncomplicated passenger. She gets along well with other dogs in the refuge and avoids any fights. Ella seeks a close connection to her person, her family. She likes to be stroked and tickled. In the refuge, she actively seeks contact with the staff, where she is a bit submissive. She misses the secure relationship with a primary caregiver. We know nothing more about Ellas history. Whether she was a street dog or had a home before, all is unknown. When she arrives in a loving home, she will likely flourish and discover her love for movement and mental stimulation. We are looking for people who would like to do something with her, who might also enjoy working with her on nose work, mantrailing... with Ella because these dogs (Groenendael mix) want to have something to do. To be able to rest contentedly, Ella also wants peace and security! Like most animals from abroad, Ella will also need to adjust to life in the new home, as she knows neither large crowds nor the noisy city traffic from Spain. But we are optimistic that she will adapt well. We wish for her a home in a rural area (or on the outskirts of a city) where she can enjoy nature with her people. We are looking for people who are willing to take this wonderful dog and patiently, with time and in a loving way, help her adjust to life and the new home. Please note:

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: In Ellas Augen funkelt Hoffnung. Es ist die Hoffnung endlich ein eigenes, schönes Zuhause zu finden. Gerettet aus dem überfüllten städtischen Tierheim ist sie bei unseren spanischen Tierschützern in La Solana schon an einem viel sichereren Ort. Doch auch dieses Tierheim ersetzt keine richtige, liebevolle Familie. Ella liebt Menschen! Das bringt auch ihre Genetik mit, diese Hütehunde werden darauf gezüchtet, eng mit dem Menschen zu leben und zu arbeiten. Die schöne Hündin freut sich über gemeinsame Aktivitäten, über gemeinsame Spaziergänge und über jede freundliche Geste. Vor allem braucht sie eine freundliche Hand, Stabilität und Sicherheit.Ella läuft schon recht passabel an der Leine; sicher sollte das noch etwas geübt werden im neuen Zuhause. Die liebe Mischlingshündin hat keine Probleme beim Auto-Mitfahren, sie ist eine unkomplizierte Beifahrerin.Mit anderen Hunden im Refugio versteht sie sich gut. Sie geht jedem Streit aus dem Weg. Ella sucht engen Anschluss an ihren Menschen, an ihre Familie. Sie mag es gestreichelt und gekrault zu werden. Im Refugio sucht sie aktiv den Kontakt zu den Mitarbeitern, dabei ist sie etwas unterwürfig. Sie vermisst die sichere Beziehung zu einer Bezugsperson. Über Ellas Geschichte wissen wir leider nichts weiter. Ob sie eine Straßenhündin war oder ob sie mal ein Zuhause hatte, das alles ist unbekannt. Wahrscheinlich wird sie, wenn sie in einem liebevollen Zuhause angekommen ist, aufblühen und ihre Lust an Bewegung und Beschäftigung entdecken. Wir suchen Menschen, die gerne mit ihr etwas unternehmen, die vielleicht auch Freude daran haben Nasenarbeit, Mantrailing... mit Ella zu machen, denn diese Hunde (Groenendael-Mix) wollen etwas zu tun haben. Um danach zufrieden ruhen zu können, denn auch Ruhe und Geborgenheit wünscht Ella sich sehr! Update06.07.2026 neue Videos18.06.2026 neue Bilder Wie bei den meisten Tieren aus dem Ausland wird auch Ella sich erst an das Leben im neuen Zuhause gewöhnen müssen, kennt sie doch aus Spanien weder große Menschenmengen noch lauten Autoverkehr einer Stadt. Aber wir sind zuversichtlich, dass sie sich gut einleben wird. Wir wünschen uns für sie ein Zuhause in einer ländlichen Umgebung (oder Stadtrand), in dem sie mit ihren Menschen die Natur genießen kann. Wir suchen Menschen, die bereit sind diesen tollen Hund mit Geduld, Zeit und auf liebevolle Weise an das Leben und das neue Zuhause zu gewöhnen.

About Ella

What life with Ella looks like

Ella is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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.
