Ella

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 2 months

Across many Greek islands, including Lefkas, the stray dog problem is significant, particularly puppy dumping, with or without the mother. Fortunately, there are always very dedicated animal lovers who work every day for these poor animals. For over fifteen years, 'Little Friends Lefkas' has been offering help to animals in need. Ella was left in a box in front of the entrance to the veterinary practice, together with her brother Guy and sisters Dixie and Bonnie. They were 2 months old at the time. The estimated date of birth is 25.11.2025. Ella now (22.6.2026) weighs 24 kilos and stands about 56 centimeters at the shoulder. We think she will end up weighing around 28 kilos. Her parents are unknown, so this is an estimate. Ella is a cheerful little soul. Always happy and very social, she really enjoys meeting new people, especially when she is allowed to come along on a walk. She is super good with (somewhat older) children, though she sometimes still jumps up. Fortunately, she learns very quickly, so she will surely accept it willingly when she is taught what is and isn't allowed. She is also very social with other dogs, and she simply walks past cats. Ella always loves cuddling, and that is her moment. Ella's beautiful gaze will melt your heart, her short-haired multicolored coat is a delight to the eye, and her cheerful character makes her a truly wonderful addition to anyone's life. For her we are looking for a loving home, preferably with a garden, securely fenced, so that she can play happily and be outside. And where Ella can feel at home and safe forever. Of course, here in the Netherlands she will still need to get used to all the new things. For example, the sounds of heavy traffic from (lorry) trucks, fatbikes being new, as well as the doorbell, television, or a striking clock. Her journey of discovery in our country will of course require time and patience from the adopter. Who will offer Ella a loving home where she may stay forever? You will not regret this happy little soul. If you know

Op veel Griekse eilanden, zoals ook op Lefkas, is het zwerfhonden probleem groot, met name puppy dumping, met of zonder moeder. Gelukkig zijn er altijd zeer bevlogen dierenliefhebbers die zich dagelijks inzetten voor de arme dieren. Sinds ruim vijftien jaar biedt ‘Little Friends Lefkas’ hulp aan dieren in nood. Ella is samen met haar broertje Guy en zusjes Dixie en Bonnie in een doos achtergelaten voor de ingang van de dierenartspraktijk. Ze waren toen 2 maanden oud. Geschatte geboortedatum is 25.11.2025. Ella weegt nu (22.6.2026) 24 kilo en ze is circa 56 centimeter schouderhoogte. We denken dat ze rondom de 28 kilo zal gaan wegen. De ouders zijn niet bekend dus dit is een inschatting. Ella is een lekker blij ei. Altijd vrolijk en erg sociaal, zo geniet ze echt van het ontmoeten van nieuwe mensen zeker als Ella mee mag gaan wandelen. Ze is super goed met (wat oudere) kinderen maar springt ook nog weleens op. Gelukkig leert ze heel snel en dus ook dit zal ze zeker welwillend oppakken als haar geleerd wordt wat wel of niet mag. Naar andere honden toe is ze ook heel sociaal en ze loopt katten gewoon voorbij. Ella vindt knuffelen altijd heerlijk en dat is dan ook haar moment. Ella's mooie blik laat je smelten, haar kortharige meerkleurige vacht is een lust voor het oog en haar vrolijke karakter maken haar tot een echte fijne toevoeging aan eenieders leven. Voor haar zoeken we een liefdevol thuis het liefst met een tuin, veilig omheind, zodat zij heerlijk kan spelen en buiten kan zijn. En waar Ella zich voor altijd thuis en veilig voelt. Zij zal natuurlijk hier in Nederland nog wel aan alle nieuwe dingen moeten wennen. Zo zijn de geluiden van druk verkeer van (vracht)auto’s, fatbikes nieuw, net als de deurbel, televisie of bijvoorbeeld een slaande klok. De ontdekkingsreis in ons land vraagt natuurlijk tijd en geduld van de adoptant. Wie biedt Ella een liefdevol thuis waar zij voor altijd mag blijven? U zult geen spijt krijgen van dit blije ei.

About Ella

What life with Ella looks like

Ella is a large puppy mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Wereldhonden in Netherlands.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ella, answered.

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