How do I contact the shelter about Elves?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Nordic Strays e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elves on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Elves if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Nordic Strays 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 Elves 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 Elves 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 Nordic Strays e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elves 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.

No wonder – I am one of the famous "Do not scroll further" puppies. My black-rimmed eye, my funny folded ears and my pink-black snout make sure that most people have to smile after three seconds. Mission accomplished! I am Elves and was born on 01.03.2026. I am a cheerful, curious puppy who rushes through life full of energy. New smells? I have to investigate! A rustling leaf? Follow it! People? I find them pretty great anyway. With my open nature, I bring a little good mood with me every day. I probably have a hunting dog mix in me. That's why I'm looking for people who enjoy being active with me and providing me with physical and mental stimulation. Exciting walks, sniffing games, nose work or joint adventures will make me happy later. My story unfortunately did not start very well. Together with my siblings, I lived on a farm in Croatia. When our animal welfare partner Kristina was informed and looked at us, the man presented her with a cruel choice: either she takes all the puppies with her – or he would drown us. Without hesitation, she took us all with her and gave us the chance of a new life. Of course, I still have to learn the puppy 1x1 as a puppy. Housebreaking, leash training, staying alone and all the small rules of everyday life are still unknown to me. But with loving consistency, patience and lots of shared successes, I will develop into a great companion. I am looking for people who are not only laughing at my funny face, but are willing to go through life with me – through muddy puddles, forest paths, cuddle hours and every new adventure. So... now honestly: Who could resist this look for long? Maybe all I need is a place on your sofa to complete my happy ending. ❤️🐾 .fusion-body .fusion-button Interested in an adoption?

Mein schwarz umrandetes Auge, meine lustigen Knickohren und meine rosa-schwarze Stupsnase sorgen nämlich dafür, dass die meisten Menschen spätestens nach drei Sekunden schmunzeln müssen. Mission erfüllt! Ich bin Elves und wurde am 01.03.2026 geboren. Ich bin ein fröhlicher, neugieriger Welpe, der voller Tatendrang durchs Leben flitzt. Neue Gerüche? Muss ich untersuchen! Ein raschelndes Blatt? Hinterher! Menschen? Die finde ich sowieso ziemlich großartig. Mit meiner offenen Art bringe ich jeden Tag ein bisschen gute Laune mit. Vermutlich steckt in mir ein Jagdhund-Mix. Deshalb wünsche ich mir Menschen, die Spaß daran haben, mit mir aktiv zu sein und mich körperlich sowie geistig artgerecht auszulasten. Spannende Spaziergänge, Schnüffelspiele, Nasenarbeit oder gemeinsame Abenteuer werden mich später glücklich machen. Meine Geschichte begann leider alles andere als schön. Gemeinsam mit meinen Geschwistern lebte ich auf dem Hof eines Mannes in Kroatien. Als unsere Tierschutzpartnerin Kristina informiert wurde und nach uns sah, stellte der Mann sie vor eine grausame Wahl: Entweder sie nimmt alle Welpen mit – oder er würde uns ertränken. Ohne zu zögern nahm sie uns alle mit und schenkte uns damit die Chance auf ein neues Leben. Natürlich muss ich als Welpe das Welpen-1×1 erst noch lernen. Stubenreinheit, Leinenführigkeit, Alleinbleiben und all die kleinen Regeln des Alltags kenne ich noch nicht. Mit liebevoller Konsequenz, Geduld und ganz vielen gemeinsamen Erfolgserlebnissen werde ich mich aber zu einem tollen Begleiter entwickeln. Ich suche Menschen, die nicht nur über mein lustiges Gesicht lachen, sondern bereit sind, mit mir gemeinsam durchs Leben zu gehen – durch Matschpfützen, Waldwege, Kuschelstunden und jedes neue Abenteuer. Also… jetzt mal ehrlich: Wer könnte diesem Blick schon lange widerstehen? Vielleicht fehlt zu meinem Happy End ja nur noch ein Platz auf deinem Sofa. ❤️🐾 .fusion-body .fusion-button Interesse an einer Adoption?

About Elves

What life with Elves looks like

Elves is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Nordic Strays e.V. 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
