Vizsla · Male · Young · 2 years

08.08.2026 Here comes Elmo!!! Who has a lot of fun with dog sports like Agility or Canicross, dummy training, mantrailing, tracking, scent detection or maybe obedience or whatever? Then Elmo, a nearly 2-year-old Vizsla male with a lot of energy, fun in movement and an eager nose, is exactly the right partner!! Elmo, our rough diamond, unfortunately has to leave his current home, where he has lived since puppyhood. Elmo, like all Vizslas, needs regular physical and mental exercise. We therefore wish for this wonderful dog with a lot of potential just the right people with whom he can go through thick and thin. Elmo's upbringing can still be worked on, but this offers a wonderful foundation for trust-building in the first step. We are now looking forward to the right living situation!!!! 12.07.2026 Young working dog seeks new sphere of activity Elmo, a young, beautiful and stately male, with a high energy level, is looking for a new home. Elmo moved in with his family as a puppy, who now gives him up after careful consideration, to give him the chance to lead a life in which all his wonderful qualities are required and promoted. A normal family life with long regular walks and occasional small tasks for his clever head is not enough for him. We therefore see him possibly in a hunter's household, in rescue dog work or the like. Elmo has enjoyed basic training, but it must absolutely be continued. There is also still some room for improvement in leash training. In his current home, Elmo shows uncertainty in some situations. We are therefore looking for absolutely hunting-experienced people for him. Since Elmo is very restless and sometimes very uninhibited, we do not see him at all with small children. Cats and other small animals should also not be present in his new home. Elmo lives in southern Germany and can be met after prior arrangement. As with all our dogs, Elmo will of course not be placed in kennel housing. Location: Near Heidelberg (BW).

08.08.2026 Hier kommt Elmo!!! Wer hat viel Spass am Hundesport wie z.B. Agility oder Canicross, am Dummytraining, Mantrailing, Fährtensuche, Scent Detection oder vielleicht Obedience oder was auch immer? Dann ist Elmo, ein knapp 2-jähriger Vizsla-Rüde mit viel Energie, Spass an Bewegung und einer einsatzfreudigen Nase, genau der richtige Partner!! Elmo, unser Rohdiamant, muss leider sein jetziges Zuhause, in dem er von Welpenzeit an lebt, verlassen. Elmo braucht, wie alle Vizslas, regelmäßige körperliche und geistige Auslastung. Wir wünschen uns daher für diesen wundervollen Hund mit viel Potential einfach die richtigen Menschen mit denen er durch dick und dünn gehen kann. An Elmos Erziehung darf noch gearbeitet werden, dies bietet aber im ersten Step eine wunderbare Grundlage zum Vertrauensaufbau. Wir freuen uns jetzt auf den richtigen Haltungsbogen!!!! 12.07.2026 Junger Arbeitshund sucht neuen Wirkungskreis Elmo, ein junger, wunderschöner und stattlicher Rüde, mit einem hohen Energielevel, ist auf der Suche nach einem neuen Zuhause. Elmo zog als Welpe bei seiner Familie ein, die ihn jetzt nach reiflicher Überlegung abgibt ,um ihm die Chance zu geben, ein Leben zu führen, in dem alle seine wundervollen Anlagen gefordert und gefördert werden. Ein normales Familienleben mit langen regelmäßigen Spaziergängen und gelegentlichen kleinen Aufgaben für sein schlaues Köpfchen reicht bei ihm nicht. Wir sehen ihn daher ggf. in einem Jägerhaushalt, bei der Rettungshundearbeit o.ä. Eine Grunderziehung hat Elmo genossen, an der jedoch unbedingt weiter gearbeitet werden muss. Auch bei der Leinenführigkeit ist noch einiges an Luft nach oben. In seinem jetzigen Zuhause zeigt Elmo in manchen Situationen Unsicherheiten. Wir suchen daher für ihn absolut jagdhundeerfahrene Menschen. Da Elmo sehr ungestüm und ab und an sehr distanzlos ist, sehen wir ihn keinesfalls bei kleinen Kindern. Auch Katzen und andere Kleintiere sollten in seinem neuen Zuhause nicht vorhanden sein. Elmo lebt in Süddeutschland und kann nach vorheriger Absprache kennengelernt werden. Wie alle unsere Hunde wird selbstverständlich auch Elmo keinesfalls in Zwingerhaltung vermittelt. Aufenthaltsort: Nähe Heidelberg (BW).

What life with Elmo looks like

Elmo is a young adult vizsla dog waiting at Vizsla in Not e.V. in Germany.

A 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 Elmo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elmo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Vizsla in Not 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 — Vizsla in Not 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 Vizsla in Not 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.
