Elsa

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Elsa – Cuddles, Freedom, and Adventure: Elsa's Recipe for Happiness → Breed: mixed breed (Hound Mix) → Gender: female → Born: 02/2020 → Size / Weight: 43 cm / 20 kg → Neutered: yes → Vaccinated: yes → Identification: Microchip → Compatible with: male dogs and female dogs → Incompatible with: N/A → Sponsorships possible: yes Description: Elsa is truly a special dog. Her short, shiny coat gleams in a warm light brown-beige tone, and her strong build makes her a beautiful sight. We suspect that she has some Hound in her mix. How much of this is present, we don't know – but if you're seriously interested, we'd be happy to conduct a blood test to clarify. If the Hound percentage is low, Elsa can also travel to Germany. But what numbers and terms can't describe is Elsa's nature. Elsa is a thoroughly cuddly female dog who loves closeness and is full of affection. She has a good, gentle soul and approaches people with openness and warmth. She gets along well with other dogs. Her greatest happiness, however, is simple: grass. Grass to lie on, grass to roll in, grass to watch. In her dreams, she imagines lying in it for hours, sniffing, following the movements of blades of grass or bugs, and experiencing her very own adventures.

Elsa – Kuscheln, Freiheit und Abenteuer: Elsas Rezept fürs Glück → Rasse: Mischling (Listenhund-Mix)→ Geschlecht: weiblich→ Geboren: 02/2020 → Grösse / Gewicht: 43 cm / 20 kg→ Kastriert: ja→ Geimpft: ja→ Kennzeichnung: Chip→ Verträglich mit: Rüden und Hündinnen→ Unverträglich mit: k.A.→ Patenschaften möglich: ja Beschreibung: Elsa ist wirklich ein besonderer Hund. Ihr kurzes, glänzendes Fell leuchtet in einem warmen hellbraun-beigen Ton, und ihre kräftige Statur macht sie zu einer wunderschönen Erscheinung. Wir vermuten, dass in ihr ein Listenhund-Anteil steckt. Wie hoch dieser ist, wissen wir nicht – bei ernsthaftem Interesse lassen wir aber sehr gerne einen Bluttest durchführen, um Klarheit zu schaffen. Sollte der Anteil gering sein, darf Elsa auch nach Deutschland ausreisen. Doch was Zahlen und Begriffe nicht beschreiben können, ist Elsas Wesen. Elsa ist eine durch und durch verschmuste Hündin, die Nähe liebt und voller Zuneigung steckt. Sie hat eine gute, sanfte Seele und begegnet Menschen mit Offenheit und Herzlichkeit. Mit anderen Hunden ist sie verträglich. Ihr größtes Glück aber ist ganz einfach: Gras. Gras zum Liegen, Gras zum Wälzen, Gras zum Beobachten. In Ihren Träumen stellt sie sich vor wie sie stundenlang darin liegen, schnüffeln, den Bewegungen von Grashalmen oder Käfern nachspüren und ihre ganz eigenen Abenteuer erleben kann. Wer mit ihr gemeinsam draußen unterwegs ist, wird schnell merken, dass sie die kleinen Dinge im Leben schätzt – und dass man mit ihr da

About Elsa

What life with Elsa looks like

Elsa is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Elsa, answered.

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