Adopt Elli

Chihuahua · Female · Young · 1 year

The little Elli approaches people absolutely joyfully and without restraint. For her age, she is still playful and very friendly with other dogs as well. Spring is just around the corner: Elli wants to dash across the meadows and sleep soundly in a cozy dog bed at night after a beautiful day in nature. She is adorable and with her manageable size, she is also happy to go everywhere. Elli would like to learn many things – but above all, how it feels to be loved and have a home. It would also be lovely if there was another dog-friendly member in the household. We only place this magical female dog in the best hands of warm-hearted people with a house and fenced garden. Elli has had a veterinary check-up, is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and dewormed. Non-binding inquiry.

Die kleine Elli geht absolut freudig und unbefangen auf Menschen zu. Ihrem Alter entsprechend ist sie noch verspielt und zudem sehr umgänglich mit anderen Hunden. Der Frühling steht vor der Tür: Elli möchte durch die Wiesen sausen und nach einem schönen Tag in der Natur abends in einem kuscheligen Körbchen einschlafen. Sie ist allerliebst und mit ihrer handlichen Größe auch gerne überall mit dabei. Elli möchte noch einiges lernen – vor allem aber, wie es ist, geliebt zu werden und ein Zuhause zu haben. Es darf auch gerne ein Hundefreund in der Gemeinschaft leben. Diese zauberhafte Hündin vermitteln wir nur in allerbeste Hände an warmherzige Menschen mit Haus und umzäunten Garten. Elli ist tierärztlich untersucht, kastriert, gechipt, geimpft und entwurmt. Unverbindliche Auskunft.

About Elli

What life with Elli looks like

Elli is a young adult chihuahua dog waiting at Hundehilfe Nahe-Saar e.V. in Germany.

An young 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 Elli, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elli?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundehilfe Nahe-Saar e.V. 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 Nahe-Saar 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 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 Nahe-Saar e.V. 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.
