Elli

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

February 2022 | 50cm | 17kg | Foster home Duisburg She is one of the two female dogs that Dimitra and Alex rescued from the fire in July on Rhodes. They arrived just in time. Elli had already suffered minor burns on her paws and at some places on her body. Now she is doing well, the wounds are healing, and she is looking for a family that would like to give her a better life. Initially, she lived with us at the shelter on Rhodes with the other dogs. There she showed herself to be a very social dog who enjoyed playing with the other dogs, but tended to take a more reserved role in the pack. However, she always valued the presence of people. She absorbed as much attention and love as she could. This is also how she shows herself with her foster family. She would rather crawl into someone. Our Elli really has a heart of gold, which touches you immediately when you look into her deep eyes. A soulful dog. As a typical young dog, she is very playful and silly. Every person, every dog, whether a female or male, is invited to play. Of course, she still needs to learn the basics of dog behavior. However, she understands quickly and immediately internalizes fixed routines. You can tell that she benefits from fixed schedules. Whether on short walks or longer outings to the Rhine or into the forest, she is more the type: nose to the ground. She almost constantly sniffs around. But rather walking and not standing in one place for a long time. Despite this, she still orientates herself to the other two dogs and always knows where her pack is. Children should already be steady, as she can still be quite boisterous due to her age. But precisely because she is so happy and excited. With her, you could really steal horses. PAW HEROES e.V.

*Februar 2022| 50cm | 17kg | Pflegestelle Duisburg Sie ist eine der beiden Hündinnen, die von Dimitra und Alex vor dem Feuer im Juli auf Rhodos gerettet wurden. Sie kamen gerade noch rechtzeitig. Elli erlitt an ihren Pfoten und an einigen Stellen am Körper bereits leichte Verbrennungen. Jetzt geht es ihr aber wieder gut, die Wunden können verheilen und nun sucht sie eine Familie, die ihr ein besseres Leben schenken möchte. Zunächst lebte sie bei uns auf Rhodos auf der Auffangstation mit den anderen Hunden zusammen. Dort zeigte sie sich als sehr soziale Hündin, die zwar gerne mit den anderen Hunden spielte, aber eher eine zurückhaltende Rolle im Rudel übernahm. Wichtig war ihr aber stets die Nähe von Menschen. Sie saugte so viel Aufmerksamkeit und Liebe auf wie sie konnte. Genau so zeigt sie sich nun auch bei ihrer Pflegefamilie. Sie würde am liebsten in einen hineinkriechen. Unsere Elli hat wirklich ein Herz aus Gold, welches einen sofort berührt, sobald man in ihre tiefen Augen schaut. Eine Seele von Hund. Typisch Junghund zeigt sie sich sehr verspielt und albern. Jeder Mensch, jeder Hund, egal ob Hündin oder Rüde, wird zum spielen aufgefordert. Natürlich muss sie noch das kleine Hunde 1×1 lernen. Sie versteht aber sehr schnell und hat feste Routinen sofort verinnerlicht. Man merkt, dass ihr feste Abläufe gut tun. Sowohl bei kleineren Spaziergängen, als auch bei größeren Ausflügen zum Rhein oder in den Wald, ist sie eher vom Typ: Nase auf dem Boden. Sie läuft fast permanent schnüffelnt herum. Aber eher laufend und nicht länger auf einer Stelle stehend. Sie orientiert sich auch hier trotzdem immer noch an den anderen beiden Hunden und weiß stets, wo ihr Rudel ist. Kinder sollten bereits standfest sein, da sie aufgrund ihres Alters noch sehr ungestüm sein kann. Aber eben weil sie sich so freut und aufgeregt ist. Mit ihr kann man wirklich Pferde stehlen.

About Elli

What life with Elli looks like

Elli is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at og:image in Germany.

An 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. og:image 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 — og:image 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 og:image 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.
