Adopt Ace

Male · Adult · 6 years

Ace is a Dogo Argentino straight out of a storybook: character-strong, self-assured, and present. He has a lively past and lived recently in a family that gave him up due to differences. Ace shows himself to be environmentally secure in everyday situations and moves easily through the city area. The male dog loves long hikes in nature—both with his people and in dog groups—and is also at ease in the water. Despite his sovereignty, Ace needs people who can provide him with the necessary stability and reliable structures. He is trainable but requires clear and fair guidance to fully unleash his strengths. He has made significant progress during his time in the animal shelter and demonstrates how much potential he has. We are looking for experienced owners who can combine physical strength with mental calm and give Ace the security he needs for a happy future.

Ace ist ein Dogo Argentino wie aus dem Bilderbuch: charakterstark, selbstbewusst und präsent. Er hat eine bewegte Vergangenheit und lebte zuletzt in einer Familie, die ihn wegen Differenzen abgab. Ace zeigt sich in Alltagssituationen ausgesprochen umweltsicher und bewegt sich problemlos auch im Stadtgebiet. Der Rüde liebt ausdauernde Spaziergänge in der Natur - mit seinen Menschen wie auch in Hundegruppen - und ist auch im Wasser in seinem Element. Trotz seiner Souveränität benötigt Ace Menschen, die ihm die nötige Stabilität und verlässliche Strukturen bieten. Er ist gut führig, braucht aber eine klare und faire Anleitung, um seine Stärken voll entfalten zu können. Er hat in seiner Zeit im Tierheim bereits große Fortschritte gemacht und zeigt, wie viel Potenzial in ihm steckt. Wir suchen für ihn erfahrene Halter, die körperliche Stärke mit mentaler Ruhe vereinen und Ace die Sicherheit geben, die er für eine glückliche Zukunft braucht.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ace, answered.

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.
