How do I contact the shelter about Elli?

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

Can I adopt Elli if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundehilfe Portugal 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 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 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 Hundehilfe Portugal early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elli 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.

Elli

Galgo Español · Female · Adult · 7 years

Elli has been living in a foster home in Braunschweig for some time now. She is a very athletic, intelligent, and temperamental young female dog. Ellis' passion is to move and also to be mentally stimulated. She learns quickly and wants to please. Elli already masters all basic commands, can stay home alone, travels comfortably in the car, and can also run off-leash in the field. Elli is a wonderful dog, but she needs clear and consistent leadership; otherwise, she may develop a dominant attitude. Elli could be rehomed with a confident, large male dog who can also put her in her place. She is compatible with other dogs on walks due to her basic dominance, but should only be rehomed with a male dog. Elli finds children absolutely wonderful and is patient with them, but due to her size and temperament, the children should be a bit older. For those looking for a friendly, cheerful, and athletic family dog, Elli would surely make them very happy. A loving and consistent upbringing must be simple for her, then she is an absolute dream dog!

Elli lebt nun schon seit einiger Zeit in einer Pflegestelle bei Braunschweig. Sie ist eine sehr sportliche, intelligente und temperamentvolle junge Hündin. Ellis Leidenschaft ist ganz klar sich zu bewegen und auch mental gefördert zu werden. Sie lernt schnell und möchte gefallen. Elli beherrscht alle Grundkommandos, kann allein Zuhause bleiben, fährt problemlos im Auto mit und kann auch im Feld ohne Leine laufen. Elli ist ein wunderbarer Hund, aber sie braucht eine klare und konsequente Führung sonst neigt sie dazu Chefallüren zu entwickeln. Elli kann gerne zu einem selbstbewussten, großen Rüden vermittelt werden, der sie auch mal in ihre Schranken weißt. Sie ist beim Spazierengehen mit anderen Hunden verträglich, aufgrund ihrer Grunddominanz sollte sie aber nur zu einem Rüden vermittelt werden. Elli findet Kinder absolut klasse und lässt sich hier wirklich mit einer Engelsgeduld alles gefallen. Aufgrund ihrer Größe und ihres Temperaments sollten die Kinder jedoch schon etwas größer sein. Wer eine freundliche, fröhliche, sportliche Familienhündin sucht ist mit Elli sicher sehr glücklich. Eine liebevolle, konsequente Führung muss bei ihr aber einfach sein, dann ist sie ein absoluter Traumhund!

About Elli

What life with Elli looks like

Elli is a large adult galgo español dog waiting at Hundehilfe Portugal in Speyer.

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.
