Ellie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Size: Medium adult size. Location: Romania Ellie has been living in the public shelter in Romania since December 31, 2024, with her sister Liv. For a brief moment, happiness seemed within reach: Ellie was adopted in Romania and finally had the chance for a home. But happiness was not lasting. When she did not immediately "function" as expected and did not behave as desired, she was returned to the shelter just a few days later. This experience has left its mark. Ellie is initially friendly but initially fearful and shy. She needs people who are willing to meet her with patience, love, and understanding. People who recognize that trust takes time—especially with a young female dog who has already been disappointed in life. Ellie is not a dog "on demand," but she is full of potential. Those who give her the chance to settle in at her own pace will be rewarded with a loyal and grateful companion. For Ellie, we wish for a quiet home where she can grow up in safety—preferably with a confident single dog, but most importantly with people who show her that she is valuable, just as she is. Do you want to give Ellie a second chance? Ellie is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, neutered, and has been checked by a veterinarian, and is in possession of a Eu-Animal Passport. All our dogs travel with official trace documents and Paragraph 11 approval to Germany. Our dogs are additionally tested for Mediterranean diseases via a rapid test. The adoption fee is 500€ plus 30€ for the purchase of safety gear. Note: When we assign our dogs to certain breeds, we base our decision solely on their outward appearance and observable behavior (phenotype). This assignment is made with the best of intentions and knowledge of the club and the involved veterinarians. However, these descriptions do not necessarily correspond to the actual genetic makeup (genotype), as their reliable determination would only be possible through DNA analysis. Furthermore, the behavioral and character description of each animal is based on careful observations by animal welfare workers at the intake facilities or by the respective foster homes. It should be noted that these assessments are based solely on the current local conditions in the intake facilities or foster homes.

Größe: mittlere Endgröße Aufenthaltsort: Rumänien Ellie ist seit dem 31. Dezember 2024 mit ihrer Schwester Liv im öffentlichen Shelter in Rumänien lebt. Für einen kurzen Moment schien das Glück ganz nah: Ellie wurde in Rumänien adoptiert und hatte endlich die Chance auf ein Zuhause. Doch das Glück war nicht von Dauer. Als sie nicht sofort „funktionierte“ und sich nicht so verhielt, wie man es sich von ihr wünschte, wurde sie nach nur wenigen Tagen wieder zurückgebracht. Diese Erfahrung hat Spuren hinterlassen. Ellie ist anfangs freundlich, aber zunächst ängstlich und schüchtern . Sie braucht Menschen, die bereit sind, ihr mit Geduld, Liebe und Verständnis zu begegnen. Menschen, die erkennen, dass Vertrauen Zeit braucht – besonders bei einer jungen Hündin, die schon so früh im Leben enttäuscht wurde. Ellie ist kein Hund „auf Knopfdruck“, aber sie ist voller Potenzial. Wer ihr die Chance gibt, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen, wird mit einer treuen und dankbaren Begleiterin belohnt. Für Ellie wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem sie in Sicherheit wachsen darf – gerne mit souveränem Ersthund, aber vor allem mit Menschen, die ihr zeigen, dass sie wertvoll ist, genauso wie sie ist. Möchtest du Ellie diese zweite Chance geben? Ellie ist bei Ausreise geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, kastriert und tierärztlich gecheckt und im Besitz eines Eu-Heimtierausweises. Alle unsere Hunde reisen mit offiziellen Traces Papieren und Paragraph 11 Genehmigung nach Deutschland. Unsere Hunde werden zusätzlich per Schnelltest auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Die Schutzgebühr beträgt 500€ plus 30€ für den Kauf des Sicherheitsgeschirres. Hinweis: Wenn wir unsere Hunde bestimmten Rassen zuordnen, so orientieren wir uns ausschließlich am äußeren Erscheinungsbild sowie am beobachtbaren Verhalten (Phänotyp). Dabei gilt : Diese Zuordnung erfolgt nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen des Vereins sowie der beteiligten Tierärzte. Dennoch entsprechen diese Angaben nicht zwangsläufig den tatsächlichen Erbanlagen (Genotyp), denn deren verlässliche Bestimmung wäre nur durch eine DNA-Analyse möglich. Darüber hinaus basiert die Verhaltens- und Charakterbeschreibung des jeweiligen Tieres auf sorgfältigen Beobachtungen durch die Tierschützer vor Ort beziehungsweise durch die jeweiligen Pflegestellen. Zu beachten ist dabei , dass sich diese Einschätzungen ausschließlich auf die aktuellen örtlichen Verhältnisse in den Auffangstationen oder Pflegestellen beziehen. Es ist wichtig zu verstehen , dass sich die Fellnase nach einer erfolgreichen

About Ellie

What life with Ellie looks like

Ellie is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rescued Souls e.V. in Pfinztal.

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 Ellie, answered.

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