How do I contact the shelter about Elli?

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

Elli

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 11 months

Elli lives at a shelter in Patras, Greece. VIDEOS AVAILABLE !!! puppy/Dog whelping, around August 2025. Size: approximately 49 cm (as of April 2026) Elli and her two brothers were found by a family in a remote area when they were about 2 months old. The people took the three puppies in and were already able to place the two brothers with Elli with families. Elli is still searching for her own home and currently lives unhappily on the family's balcony, as the woman suffers from a dog hair allergy. Of course, this is an unsuitable situation for Elli. The sweet snout plays outside with the family's child, knows cats, and can already walk on a leash relatively well. As soon as she is called, she runs joyfully to every person. Of course, Elli still needs a lot of loving but consistent upbringing in her own home. Since we are not familiar with the parents of Elli, we cannot make any predictions about her at full size. Upon her arrival, Elli was vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. Additionally, she of course has her own EU pet passport.

Elli lebt auf einer Pflegstelle in Patras / Griechenland.VIDEOS VORHANDEN !!! Hündin/kastriertgeb. ca. August 2025Grösse : ca. 49 cm (Stand April 2026) Elli und ihre beiden Brüder wurden im Alter von 2 Monaten von einer Familie in einer einsamen Gegend gefunden. Die Leute nahmen die 3 Welpen mit und konnten für die beiden Brüder von Elli bereits an Familien vermitteln. Elli sucht noch ihr Zuhause und lebt aktuell leider auf dem Balkon der Familie, da die Frau an einer Hundehaarallergie leidet. Natürlich ist das für Elli ein unhaltbarer Zustand. Die süße Fellnase spielt draußen mit dem Kind der Familie, kennt Katzen und kann auch schon relativ gut an der Leine laufen. Sobald sie gerufen wird, läuft sie freudestrahlend zu jedem Menschen hin. Natürlich benötigt Elli in ihrem eigenen Zuhause noch viel liebevolle, aber konsequente Erziehung. Da uns die Eltern von Elli nicht bekannt sind, können wir zur ausgewachsenen Größe keine Angaben machen. Bei ihrer Einreise ist Elli geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt. Außerdem hat sie selbstverständlich ihren eigenen EU-Heimtierausweis im Gepäck.

About Elli

What life with Elli looks like

Elli is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierfreunde Patras e.V. in Ratingen.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
