How do I contact the shelter about Elliot?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierherberge Egelsbach e.V. 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 — Tierherberge Egelsbach 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 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 Tierherberge Egelsbach e.V. 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.

Elliot

German Shepherd · Male · Adult · 5 years

Elliot Elliot Elliot Elliot Elliot Elliot Elliot Elliot Elliot Back 1 of 9 Next Breed: Terrier German Shepherd mixed breed Birth year: 12.2021 Color: white black Gender: male Size: medium neutered: Yes Elliot takes his job at the fence very seriously. As soon as something moves, he comments, reports, and makes an impression. But behind the big voice is not a tough guy, but a sensitive treasure who wants security. Once the fence is gone, Elliot transforms into a cuddle expert. Outdoors, his true talent shines, as Elliot loves to be very close to his people. He enjoys long walks with fellow animals, where he likes to "read the newspaper" or cool off in the stream during summer. He is very eager to learn, attentive, and wants to please. With loving, clear guidance, Elliot really thrives and works with motivation. He brings a fine, sensitive nature: In new situations, he first looks around calmly and sometimes needs a little moment to feel secure. If given this time, he shows even more how much heart and depth he has. He quickly picks up moods, and small, loud children are not quite comfortable for him yet, but he opens up quickly to gentle people and forms a close bond with his primary caregiver. Elliot is looking for people with heart and understanding, who can see his little "fence show" with a smile and give him security. For more information about this dog?

ElliotElliotElliotElliotElliotElliotElliotElliotElliot Zurück 1von9 Vor Rasse: Terrier Schäferhund Mischling Geburtsjahr: 12.2021 Farbe: weiß schwarz Geschlecht: männlich Größe: mittelgroß Kastriert: Ja Elliot nimmt seine Aufgabe am Zaun sehr ernst. Sobald sich etwas bewegt, wird kommentiert, gemeldet und Eindruck gemacht. Doch hinter der großen Stimme steckt kein harter Kerl, sondern ein sensibler Schatz, der Sicherheit möchte. Ist der Zaun einmal weg verwandelt Elliot sich in einen Kuschelprofi. Draußen zeigt sich sein wahres Talent, denn Elliot liebt es, ganz nah bei seinen Menschen zu sein. Er liebt ausgiebige Spaziergänge mit Artgenossen bei denen er gerne die „Zeitung liest“ oder sich im Sommer am Bach eine Abkühlung holt. Er ist sehr lernwillig, aufmerksam und möchte gefallen. Mit liebevoller, klarer Führung blüht Elliot richtig auf und arbeitet motiviert mit. Er bringt eine feine, sensible Art mit: Neue Situationen schaut er sich erst in Ruhe an und braucht manchmal einen kleinen Moment, um sich sicher zu fühlen. Gibt man ihm diese Zeit, zeigt er umso mehr, wie viel Herz und Tiefe in ihm steckt. Stimmungen nimmt er schnell wahr, kleine laute Kinder sind ihm oft noch nicht ganz geheuer aber zu behutsamen Personen öffnet er sich schnell und bindet sich eng an seine Bezugsperson. Elliot sucht seine Menschen mit Herz und Verständnis, die seine kleine „Zaun-Show“ mit einem Lächeln sehen und ihm Sicherheit geben. Nähere Informationen zu diesem Hund?

About Elliot

What life with Elliot looks like

Elliot is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierherberge Egelsbach e.V. in Egelsbach.

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.
