Elma

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Ref. No.: h-korfu-spiridoula-elma-f-0123 Update April 2024: Elma has now been waiting for over a year for her chance - it would be so wonderful if the cheerful little mouse finally found a family! January 2023: Elma is estimated to be 3-4 years old. She was found in a terrible condition on the street - emaciated, full of wounds, and almost hairless. Fortunately, she could be taken in by animal lover Spiridoula, who has several enclosures for dogs in need. There, Elma has recovered wonderfully and developed into a real bundle of joy! She is playful and gets along great with the other dogs at the animal shelter. Can we find a wonderful family for the adorable Elma? All dogs are initially vaccinated, microchipped, and have an EU pet passport.

I-Nr.: h-korfu-spiridoula-elma-f-0123 Update April 2024: Elma wartet nun auch schon über 1 Jahr auf ihre Chance - es wäre so schön, wenn die fröhliche Maus endlich eine Familie findet! Januar 2023: Elma ist geschätzt 3-4 Jahre alt. Sie wurde im schrecklichen Zustand auf der Straße gefunden - abgemagert, voller Wunden und fast ohne Haare. Glücklicherweise konnte sie bei Tierfreundin Spiridoula untergebracht werden, die einige Gehege für Hunde in Not hat. Dort hat sich Elma ganz wunderbar erholt und zu einer echten Frohnatur entwickelt! Sie ist verspielt und kommt super mit den anderen Hunden im Tierheim aus. Finden wir gemeinsam eine tolle Familie für die herzige Elma? Alle Hunde sind erstgeimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Heimtierausweis. 20240630 01 Elma Juni 2024 20240616 04 Elma Juni 2024 20240616 03 Elma Juni 2024 20240616 02 Elma Juni 2024

About Elma

What life with Elma looks like

Elma is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Korfu e.V. in Ratingen.

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 Elma, answered.

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