How do I contact the shelter about Elvira?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elvira on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Elvira if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Elvira 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 Elvira 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 A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elvira 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.

Elvira

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

shy, compatible, calm Elvira came to us in a very neglected condition. Her eyes were cloudy and her body was weak. Elvira trusts very slowly and keeps a distance from people. She is compatible with other dogs, but prefers to be alone. Her eyes are clear again and we had great concern that Elvira would go completely blind. Fortunately, this did not happen. Elvira would need a very patient home, where one would have to work hard to earn her trust in small steps. A securely fenced garden would definitely have to be present. It is uncertain whether she will ever come out of her shell completely. Elvira feels comfortable in her enclosure with 4 other dogs. We would greatly appreciate sponsors who would support us with the monthly costs for food and medication for Elvira. They are all vaccinated, microchipped and have an EU passport. They will be checked for Mediterranean diseases according to their age. See information on our homepage. Every dog that is rehomed makes space for a new dog from the street, who has to endure a hungry and emaciated existence.

DE·Show original

scheu, verträglich, ruhig Elvira kam in einem sehr verwahrlosten Zustand zu uns. Ihre Augen waren trüb und ihr Körper schwach. Elvira fasst nur schwer vertrauen und hält immer Abstand zum Menschen. Sie ist mit anderen Hunden verträglich, ist aber lieber für sich. Ihre Augen sind wieder ganz klar und wir hatten große Sorge, das Elvira komplett erblinden würde. Das ist zum Glück nicht eingetreten. Elvira bräuchte ein sehr geduldiges Zuhause, wo man in ganz kleinen Schritten ihr Vertrauen erarbeiten müsste. Ein sicher eingezäunter Garten müsste unbedingt vorhanden sein. Ob sie jemals ganz aus sich herauskommt ist ungewiss. Elvira fühlt sich in ihrem Gehege mit 4 weiteren Hunden wohl. Wir würden uns sehr über Paten freuen, die uns bei den monatlichen Kosten für Futter und Medikamenten für Elvira unterstützen würden. sind alle geimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Ausweis. Sie werden altersentsprechend auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten gecheckt. Siehe dazu Info auf unserer Homepage. Jeder vermittelte Hunde macht Platz für einen neuen Hund von der Straße, die hungernd und ausgemergelt ihr Dasein fristen müssen. AUFENTHALTSORT

About Elvira

What life with Elvira looks like

Elvira is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. in Greece.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇷Adopting from Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.
