Elwin

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 9 months

Elwin is a young male dog who was rescued together with his siblings after a flood in Romania and is currently living in a foster home. He shows himself to be a very energetic, playful and friendly young dog who particularly values contact with people. Elwin is open, affectionate and actively seeks closeness – above all, playing together with his people brings him great joy. He makes no difference between women and men. He is also cheerful and open with children from around the age of five. In everyday life, Elwin is inconspicuous for his age. He does not yet know the life inside a house completely and will have to get to know it step by step in his future home. Elwin is very social and playful with other dogs. He lives without problems in a dog group, behaves respectfully, but at the same time is lively and eager to play, as is typical for a young dog. Elwin does not yet know cats. He handles car rides calmly and relaxed. Elwin is a young, active dog who needs age-appropriate activity and mental stimulation – but also people who help him calm down and who give him structure, rules and guidance. We wish for him a loving home with people who not only appreciate his playful nature, but who also enjoy patiently and consistently accompanying him on his way to adulthood. If you are interested in Elwin, please feel free to contact us. Once the preliminary check is positive, he may soon move into his new home vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, deflead, and with an EU pet passport, for a protection fee of 495 euros.

Elwin ist ein junger Rüde, der gemeinsam mit seinen Geschwistern nach einer Flut in Rumänien gerettet wurde und aktuell auf einer Pflegestelle lebt. Er zeigt sich als sehr energiegeladener, verspielter und freundlicher Junghund, der den Kontakt zu Menschen besonders schätzt. Elwin ist offen, zugewandt und sucht aktiv die Nähe – vor allem gemeinsames Spielen mit seinen Menschen bereitet ihm große Freude. Dabei macht er keinen Unterschied zwischen Frauen oder Männern. Auch mit Kindern ab etwa fünf Jahren zeigt er sich fröhlich und aufgeschlossen. Im Alltag präsentiert sich Elwin altersentsprechend unauffällig. Das Leben im Haus kennt er bisher noch nicht vollständig und wird dieses in seinem zukünftigen Zuhause Schritt für Schritt kennenlernen müssen. Mit Artgenossen ist Elwin sehr sozial und verspielt. Er lebt problemlos in einer Hundegruppe, zeigt sich respektvoll im Umgang, gleichzeitig aber auch junghundetypisch lebhaft und spielfreudig. Katzen kennt Elwin bislang nicht. Autofahrten meistert er ruhig und entspannt. Elwin ist ein junger, aktiver Hund, der altersgerechte Beschäftigung und geistige Auslastung braucht – ebenso aber Menschen, die ihm helfen, zur Ruhe zu kommen und ihm Struktur, Regeln und Orientierung vermitteln. Wir wünschen uns für ihn ein liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die nicht nur seine verspielte Art schätzen, sondern Lust haben, ihn geduldig und konsequent auf seinem Weg ins Erwachsenwerden zu begleiten. Wenn Sie Interesse an Elwin haben, melden Sie sich gerne bei uns. Bei positiver Vorkontrolle darf er schon bald geimpft, gechippt, entwurmt, entfloht und mit einem EU-Heimtierausweis gegen eine Schutzgebühr von 495 Euro in sein neues Zuhause ziehen.

About Elwin

What life with Elwin looks like

Elwin is a large puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein SpecialDogs 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Elwin, answered.

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