Elmo

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 3 months

đŸŸ WĂ€hrend seine Geschwister schon neugierig die Welt erkunden, schaut Elmo lieber erst einmal aus sicherer Entfernung zu. Der kleine Mann gehört nĂ€mlich zu den ruhigeren Vertretern seiner Geschwisterbande und lĂ€sst sich nicht so schnell aus der Reserve locken. Hinter seiner vorsichtigen Art steckt ein freundlicher und anhĂ€nglicher Welpenjunge, der weder besonders wild noch eigensinnig ist. Mit Kindern und anderen Tieren dĂŒrfte er sich gut verstehen. Elmo muss nicht der Mutigste sein, um etwas ganz Besonderes zu sein. Was ihm noch fehlt? Menschen, die seine ruhige Art zu schĂ€tzen wissen und ihm zeigen, dass sich ein bisschen Mut manchmal richtig lohnt. â€ïžđŸŸ GlĂŒck fĂŒr Pfoten e.V. – Der Weg in ein neues Leben – Tel. und WhatsApp: Mail: SchutzgebĂŒhr: 490 € inkl.

About Elmo

What life with Elmo looks like

Elmo is a puppy mixed breed dog waiting at GlĂŒck fĂŒr Pfoten e.V. in Dortmund.

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.

đŸ‡©đŸ‡ȘAdopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Elmo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elmo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. GlĂŒck fĂŒr Pfoten e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elmo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elmo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — GlĂŒck fĂŒr Pfoten 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Elmo 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 Elmo 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 GlĂŒck fĂŒr Pfoten e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elmo 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.
