Elo

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Elo Male / neutered Born: approx. 11/2025 Size: currently approx. 35–40 cm, 9–10 kg, presumably to become medium-sized (as of 13.06.) New arrival: 26.02.2026 Location: Romania Departure: anytime Sponsorship: still available Elo was found at a train station together with his siblings. The poor puppies were sitting there in the dirt, exposed to the cold, hungry and thirsty, with no mother in sight. In Romania, sadly, this is all too common! We refuse to accept this situation, though, and we fight for every single beating heart we can find. Elo is a friendly, playful puppy. With his big eyes, he takes in his new surroundings and explores them on his clumsy puppy paws. He currently lives with his siblings and other puppies at our animal welfare volunteer's home, where he also has contact with adult dogs and cats. Of course, Elo doesn't yet know everything a family dog needs to know and be able to do: living in a house with all its rules, walking on a leash and harness, basic commands, staying alone, riding calmly in the car, and so on. All of this the little boy with the funny mask on his face still has to learn. He should also continue to have opportunities for social contact and be able to take in plenty of environmental stimuli, so that he can become a confident companion. Our email inbox is open and now waiting for good news for Elo!

Elomännlich / kastriertGeb. : ca. 11/2025Größe: aktuell ca. 35-40cm, 9-10kg, vermtl. mittelgroß werdend (Stand 13. 06. )Neuzugang: 26. 02. 2026Aufenthaltsort: RumänienAusreise: jederzeitPatenschaft: noch zu vergebenElo wurde zusammen mit seinen Geschwistern an einem Bahnhof gefunden. Die armen Welpen saßen dort im Dreck. Der Kälte ausgesetzt, hungrig und durstig. Weit und breit keine Mutter in Sicht. In Rumänien leider der ganz normale Wahnsinn! Wir möchten uns aber nicht mit dieser Situation abfinden und kämpfen für jedes einzelne schlagende Herz, dass gefunden wird. Elo ist ein freundlicher und verspielter Welpe. Mit seinen großen Augen schaut er seine neue Umgebung an und erkundet sie auf seinen tapsigen Welpenpfoten. Er lebt aktuell zusammen mit seinen Geschwistern und anderen Welpen bei unserer Tierschützerin. Dort hat er auch Kontakt zu erwachsenen Artgenossen und Katzen. Natürlich weiß Elo noch gar nicht was er als Familienhund alles wissen und können muss: Leben im Haus mit allen Regeln, laufen an Leine und Geschirr, Grundkommandos, alleine bleiben, gelassen im Auto mitfahren, usw. das alles muss der kleine Rüde mit der lustigen Maske im Gesicht erst noch lernen. Auch sollte er weiterhin die Möglichkeit für Sozialkontakte haben und natürlich viele Umweltreize aufnehmen können, um ein souveräner Wegbegleiter zu werden. Unser E-Mail Postfach ist geöffnet und wartet nun auf gute Nachrichten für Elo!

About Elo

What life with Elo looks like

Elo is a medium-sized puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Dog Rescue Stuttgart in Germany.

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.

🇩🇪Adopting 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 Elo, answered.

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