Elliot

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Adult · 8 years

Der freundliche Elliot wurde aufgrund seiner Rasse sichergestellt und darf nun nach bestandenem Wesenstest noch einmal neu in einem Zuhause starten. Elliot ist anfangs etwas unsicher und zurückhaltend, aber immer freundlich und gerne mit den Menschen unterwegs. Mit Hündinnen versteht er sich gut, auf Rüden kann Elliot ganz gut verzichten. Auf Spielzeug reagiert Elliot mit einem ausgeprägtem Beutefangtrieb. Beschäftigung auf diese Art ist daher kontraproduktiv und sollte nicht stattfinden. Aufgrund seines Beutefangtriebes wird Elliot nicht in eine Familie zu kleinen Kindern vermittelt. Aufgrund seiner Rasse wird Elliot nur außerhalb Hamburgs vermittelt. Möchten Sie unserem Elliot ein fürsorgliches Zuhause schenken? Dann melden Sie sich bitte mit Ihrer ausgefüllten Selbstauskunft unter (Für die Adresse JavaScript anschalten). 11.06.26 (MSt)

About Elliot

What life with Elliot looks like

Elliot is a large adult staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Hamburger Tierschutzverein in Hamburg.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Elliot, answered.

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