Elvin

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Männlich, geb. 2021 Ich musste ins Tierheim, da mein Besitzer schwer erkrankte. Ich bin noch in der Erholungsphase, da ich lange Zeit durch einen Vitaminmangel keinen Appetit hatte. Trotzdem bin ich ein Riesenkerl, ein Herdenschutzhund-Mischling und möchte auch unbedingt meinen Garten (zwingend notwendig) bewachen dürfen. Wenn ich jemanden kenne, bin ich ein herzensguter Hund. Ich suche Menschen, die sich trauen, mit mir umzugehen, mit mir Gassi zu gehen, mit mir zu schmusen und zu spielen. Update 12.08.2026: Mittlerweile bin ich schon einige Monate hier im Tierheim, habe mich in meinem neuen Alltag eingefunden und auch ganz liebe Gassigeher an meiner Seite, die regelmäßig mit mir meine Runden über die Felder und Wiesen rund ums Tierheim drehen. Nachdem ich anfangs sehr dünn war und man nach ärztlicher Abklärung einen Vitaminmangel festgestellt hatte, geht es mir nun endlich besser, ich habe zugenommen und auch mein Appetit ist wieder zurück. Jetzt wäre es doch langsam an der Zeit, ein neues Zuhause für mich zu finden. 🍀 Ich suche standfeste Menschen, die gerne draußen in der Natur unterwegs sind, ein wenig Kraft mitbringen, um mich großen Kerl bei der ein oder anderen Hundebegegnung etwas anleiten zu können, denn da kann ich je nach Sympathie auch mal kurz den Turbo einlegen, was aber mit genügend Abstand immer besser klappt. Ich bemühe mich doch sehr, ein guter Hund zu sein. Was mir jetzt noch fehlt zu meinem Glück sind Fans von uns großen Hunden, und natürlich ein freies Plätzchen im Haus für ein XXL-Hundekörbchen. 💕

About Elvin

What life with Elvin looks like

Elvin is a extra-large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Wiesloch-Walldorf in Walldorf.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Elvin, answered.

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