Elvis

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Elvis - a cuddly explorer in search of a family connection Elvis is one of those dogs that makes you wonder how you ever managed without him. A cheerful, loving fellow who loves people above all else and would love to finally have what he's been missing for so long: a real home and people he can belong to without restriction. Elvis spent his life with a family, but mostly outdoors, so he's more used to being outside than inside. After many years together, he had to leave his home. Now, for our charming boy, it's not about the past, but about all the good things that are yet to come. And Elvis has very specific ideas about that! Extensive cuddles are high on his wish list. He is incredibly people-oriented, affectionate, and cuddly, and seems to absorb the attention he receives. Hugs, kind words, and just spending time together, Elvis can't get enough of it 😉 But anyone who thinks the gentleman would be content with a cozy couch spot has Elvis wrong. There's a real adventurous spirit in him! He's playful, active, and curious, and loves to explore his surroundings. He's particularly fond of water. Discovering new paths together, sniffing around, dipping his paws in the cool water, and then marching home content, that makes Elvis pretty happy.

DE·Show original

Elvis – Schmusebär mit Entdeckerherz sucht Familienanschluss Elvis ist einer dieser Hunde, bei denen man sich nach kürzester Zeit fragt, wie man eigentlich jemals ohne ihn ausgekommen ist. Ein fröhlicher, liebevoller Kerl, der Menschen über alles liebt und am liebsten endlich genau das hätte, worauf er so lange verzichten musste: ein richtiges Zuhause und Menschen, zu denen er uneingeschränkt gehören darf. Sein bisheriges Leben verbrachte Elvis zwar bei einer Familie, allerdings überwiegend draußen und damit eher vor als hinter der Haustür. Nach vielen gemeinsamen Jahren musste er sein Zuhause schließlich verlassen. Nun soll für unseren charmanten Burschen aber nicht die Vergangenheit zählen, sondern all das Schöne, das hoffentlich noch vor ihm liegt. Und davon hat Elvis ziemlich genaue Vorstellungen! Ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten stehen auf seiner Wunschliste ganz weit oben. Er ist unheimlich menschenbezogen, anhänglich und verschmust und scheint die Aufmerksamkeit, die ihm nun entgegengebracht wird, regelrecht aufzusaugen. Umarmungen, liebe Worte und einfach nur gemeinsam Zeit verbringen, für Elvis kann es davon eigentlich gar nicht genug geben 😉 Wer nun aber glaubt, der Herr würde sich ausschließlich mit einem gemütlichen Sofaplätzchen zufriedengeben, hat die Rechnung ohne Elvis gemacht. In ihm steckt nämlich ein richtig fröhlicher Abenteurer! Er ist verspielt, aktiv und neugierig und liebt es, seine Umgebung zu erkunden. Besonders Wasser hat es ihm angetan. Gemeinsam neue Wege entdecken, ausgiebig schnüffeln, die Pfötchen ins kühle Nass halten und anschließend zufrieden nach Hause marschieren, damit macht man Elvis ziemlich glücklich.

About Elvis

What life with Elvis looks like

Elvis is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

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 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 Elvis, answered.

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