Nikos und Eliott

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Our charming twins Nikos and Elliot are 4 years old. Both come from Crete and have been in our foster care since the end of July. Both were allowed to move to Germany because, due to their white ears and the intense sunlight on Crete, they are at risk of ear cancer. Here in Germany the sun is not quite as intense as on Crete. Nikos is a large tomcat with a gentle soul. He is cuddly and enjoys every bit of petting. He is the more curious of the two and loves to play, especially when treats are hidden in the toys. His favorite hobby: eating. He loves his food, and his brother's bowl is often not safe from him. Elliot is very affectionate and loves to sit on his human's lap and be petted. He loves his food just as much as his brother, but he is the connoisseur of the two. The brothers love each other deeply, which is why we only place them together. They are uncomplicated, cuddly and sociable. Both are ideally suited to beginners and families thanks to their gentle, easygoing nature. They are open toward strangers and quickly let themselves be spoiled with petting. We wish for the two of them a forever home with a secured balcony where they can enjoy fresh air. Unsecured free-roaming is out of the question, since despite everything they should not be exposed to the sun without supervision. Both have been treated against parasites, vaccinated, neutered and microchipped, and are registered with Tasso. They are looking for loving fur-noses as housemates and would like to give the two of them their chance at happiness? Then please send an email to:

Unsere charmanten Zwillinge Nikos und Elliot sind 4 Jahre alt. Beide stammen von Kreta und sind seit Ende Juli bei uns auf einer Pflegestelle. Beide durften nach Deutschland umziehen, da sie auf Grund ihrer weißen Ohren und der intensiven Sonnenstrahlung auf Kreta Ohrenkrebs gefährdet sind. Hier in Deutschland ist die Sonne nicht ganz so intensiv wie auf Kreta. Nikos ist ein großer Kater mit einer sanften Seele. Er ist verschmust und genießt jede Streicheleinheit. Er ist der neugierigere von beiden und spielt sehr gerne, vor allem wenn man im Spielzeug Leckerlis versteckt. Seine liebstes Hobby: fressen. Er liebt sein Futter und auch der Napf seines Bruders ist oft nicht sicher vor ihm. Elliot ist sehr anhänglich und er liebt es auf dem Schoß seines Menschen zu sitzen und gestreichelt zu werden. Er liebt sein Futter ebenso wie sein Bruder, ist aber der Genießer von beiden. Die beiden Brüder lieben sich innig, deswegen vermitteln wir sie nur zusammen. Sie sind unkompliziert, verschmust und umgänglich. Beide sind bestens für Anfänger und Familien geeignet, aufgrund ihrer sanften unkomplizierten Art. Fremden gegenüber sind sie aufgeschlossen und lassen sich schnell mit Streicheleinheiten verwöhnen. Wir wünschen uns für die beiden ein für immer Zuhause, mit gesicherten Balkon, wo sie die frische Luft genießen können.Ungesicherter Freigang kommt nicht in Frage, da sie trotz allem nicht unkontrolliert der Sonne ausgesetzt sein sollten. Beide sind gegen Parasiten behandelt, geimpft, kastriert und gechippt und bei Tasso registriert. Sie suchen liebevolle Fellnasen als Mitbewohner und möchten den beiden ihre Chance auf Glück geben? Dann bitte eine Mail an:

About Nikos und Eliott

What life with Nikos und Eliott looks like

Nikos und Eliott is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Leise-Pfoten e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nikos und Eliott, answered.

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