How do I contact the shelter about Ace?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Wiesbaden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ace on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ace if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Wiesbaden 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 Ace 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 Ace 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 Tierheim Wiesbaden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ace 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.

Ace

Male · Adult · 6 years

Ace is a Dogo Argentino with an impressive personality and a big heart for his people. This male dog came to us with a challenging past, yet here at the shelter he proves to be exceptionally people-oriented and open-hearted. The stately male dog forms very close bonds with his caregivers and thoroughly enjoys spending time with them. It’s precisely this strong ability to bond that makes daily life in the shelter particularly difficult for him: the long periods spent without “his” people clearly weigh heavily on him. He greets strangers in a friendly and open manner; he’s also comfortable around children and remains relaxed in their company. On walks, Ace confidently walks on the leash, is easy to lead, and faces new environmental stimuli with confidence and composure. He has mastered basic commands and loves working together with his humans. Ace is a self-assured, robust, and loyal dog who builds a close relationship with his people. At the same time, he’s a sensitive dog who reacts very attentively to his humans and how they treat him. Therefore, Ace doesn’t need harshness or pressure—rather, he needs calm, clear, and empathetic leadership that gives him security and provides him with guidance. Anyone who appreciates the unique qualities of this special breed will gain a faithful and deeply connected companion by their side. We’re looking for people who enjoy walking through life together with Ace, continuing to support his development, and cherishing his joy in forming bonds. He’s a dog who loves working alongside his humans and gives them so much in return.

Ace ist ein Dogo Argentino mit einer beeindruckenden Persönlichkeit und einem großen Herz für seine Menschen. Der Rüde kam mit einer nicht einfachen Vergangenheit zu uns und zeigt sich hier im Tierheim als ausgesprochen menschenbezogener und offener Hund. Der stattliche Rüde bindet sich sehr eng an seine Bezugspersonen und genießt die gemeinsame Zeit mit ihnen. Gerade diese starke Bindungsfähigkeit macht ihm den Tierheimalltag besonders schwer: Die langen Zeiten ohne "seine" Menschen belasten ihn sichtlich. Fremden Menschen begegnet er freundlich und aufgeschlossen, auch Kinder kennt er und zeigt sich ihnen gegenüber entspannt. Bei Spaziergängen läuft Ace souverän an der Leine, lässt sich gut führen und begegnet neuen Umweltreizen selbstbewusst und gelassen. Die Grundkommandos beherrscht er und arbeitet gerne mit seinen Menschen zusammen. Ace ist ein selbstsicherer, kräftiger und loyaler Hund, der eine enge Beziehung zu seinen Menschen aufbaut. Gleichzeitig ist er ein sensibler Hund, der sehr genau auf seine Menschen und deren Umgang mit ihm reagiert. Ace braucht daher keine Härte oder Druck, sondern eine ruhige, klare und feinfühlige Führung, die ihm Sicherheit gibt und ihm Orientierung bietet. Wer die Eigenschaften dieser besonderen Rasse zu schätzen weiß, bekommt einen treuen und eng verbundenen Begleiter an seiner Seite. Für Ace suchen wir Menschen, die Freude daran haben, gemeinsam mit ihm durchs Leben zu gehen, ihn weiter zu fördern und seine Bindungsfreude zu schätzen. Er ist ein Hund, der gerne mit seinen Menschen zusammenarbeitet und ihnen viel zurückgibt.

About Ace

What life with Ace looks like

Ace is a extra-large adult dog waiting at Tierheim Wiesbaden in Wiesbaden.

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.

Note from the shelter: Requires special permit for ownership (Haltungsgenehmigung)

🇩🇪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.
