Adopt Elli (Flocke)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

loving, easy to get along with, initially a bit reserved Our Flocke, who was adopted from her foster home by Elli, is a lively young female dog who just before Christmas traded the cold Smeura in Romania for a cozy dog bed in the north of Germany. She is now approximately 6 months old and typical of a young dog, playful and lively. Elli explores her new world with equal parts curiosity and caution. In the house and garden, and with people she knows, she is cuddly, funny, and clingy. With anything new, she is initially skeptical. This is expressed in her retreating or barking. Generally, she is a watchful dog who alerts to changes and unfamiliar sounds. Elli is super smart and learns at a rapid pace, and so she is already nearly fully house-trained after two weeks and can relax well at home. On walks on the lead, she has a large radius, but always maintains contact with the person. She also already sits for treats. Elli loves her family, especially children – with them, she feels particularly comfortable and plays and cuddles, as much as she can. Due to her size, children should be sturdy. Dogs she knows find her wonderful. Strange dogs make her initially a bit afraid. She learns every day that encounters outside the house can also be nice. Elli needs at least one understanding person by her side who understands her. Rules at home must be consistently and lovingly established. A visit to a dog school would be absolutely worthwhile. For Elli, we are looking for loving, active people with some knowledge of dogs and/or the willingness to learn and grow with Elli. Despite her cute appearance, Elli is not a beginner dog, even though she has had a good upbringing and her genes. Elli asks questions and does not accept every no immediately – she wants to be convinced, then she is a loyal and loving companion. Elli is microchipped and vaccinated and will be checked for Mediterranean diseases. She will be rehomed through the association 4animals! e.V. She will grow to be medium to large. If you now think 'this is MY dog!', then feel free to contact us!.

lieb, verträglich, anfangs etwas zurückhaltend Unsere Flocke, die von ihrer Pflegestelle in Elli umgetauft wurde, ist eine aufgeweckte Junghündin, die noch kurz vor Weihnachten die kalte Smeura in Rumänien, gegen ein kuscheliges Körbchen im Norden Deutschlands tauschen durfte. Sie ist jetzt circa 6 Monate alt und junghundtypisch verspielt und aufgeweckt. Elli entdeckt ihre neue Welt gleichermaßen mit Neugier, als auch Vorsicht. Im Haus und im Garten und mit Menschen, die sie kennt ist sie verschmust, lustig und anhänglich. Bei allem Neuen ist sie erst einmal skeptisch. Das äußert sich in Rückzug oder Bellen. Generell ist sie ein wachsamer Hund, der Veränderungen und ungewohnte Geräusche ansagt. Elli ist super schlau und lernt im Eiltempo und so ist sie nach zwei Wochen bereits fast komplett stubenrein und kann zuhause bereits gut entspannen. Auf Ausflügen an der Schleppleine hat sie einen großen Radius, hält aber immer Kontakt zum Menschen. Für Leckerlies macht sie auch schon sitz. Elli liebt ihre Familie und besonders Kinder – mit ihnen fühlt sie sich besonders wohl und tobt und kuschelt, was das Zeug hält. Aufgrund ihrer Größe, sollten Kinder aber schon standfest sein. Hunde, die sie kennt, findet sie toll. Fremde Hunde machen ihr zunächst noch Angst. Sie lernt aber von Tag zu Tag, dass Begegnungen außerhalb des Hauses auch nett sein können. Elli braucht mindestens einen souvärenen Menschen an ihrer Seite, der sie versteht. Regeln zuhause müssen konsequent und liebevoll etabliert werden. Der Besuch einer Hundeschulewäre absolut sinnvoll. Für Elli suchen wir liebevolle, aktive Menschen mit etwas Hundeverstand und / oder der Bereitschaft, mit Elli zusammen zu lernen und zu wachsen. Aufgrund ihrer bisherigen Kindheit und ihrer Gene ist Elli kein Anfängerhund, auch wenn sie so niedlich aussieht. Elli fragt nach und akzeptiert auch nicht jedes Nein sofort – sie möchte überzeugt werden, dann ist sie eine treue und liebevolle Begleiterin. Elli ist gechipt und geimpft und wird noch auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten gecheckt. Sie wird über den Verein 4animals!e.v. vermittelt. Sie wird mittelgroß bis groß werden. Wenn du jetzt meinst ‚das ist MEIN Hund‘! dann melde dich gerne!

About Elli (Flocke)

What life with Elli (Flocke) looks like

Elli (Flocke) is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt in Essen.

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Elli (Flocke), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elli (Flocke)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elli (Flocke) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elli (Flocke) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt 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 Elli (Flocke) 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 Elli (Flocke) 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 4animals e.V. — Hundeauffangstation HASt early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elli (Flocke) 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.
