How do I contact the shelter about Aik?

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

Can I adopt Aik if I live in another country?

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

Aik

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 11 years

Hello, my name is Aik and I was born around 2015. I am a German Shepherd and came to the animal shelter through a seizure. My first owner kept me solely as a guard dog, a job I did very well. However, my former owner neglected me and left me to my own devices. I still take my job as a guard dog very seriously at the animal shelter, so I am initially very wary of strangers. But I love the people I know and have taken into my heart even more. Once I find my "forever" people, I am a great companion. For German Shepherd lovers, I am an absolute dream!

Hallo , mein Name ist Aik und ich bin circa 2015 geboren. Ich bin ein Deutscher Schäferhund und durch eine Sicherstellung ins Tierheim gekommen. Bei meinem ersten Besitzer wurde ich als reiner Wachhund gehalten. Diesen Job habe ich richtig gut gemacht. Allerdings hat mich mein ehemaliger Besitzer sehr vernachlässigt und mich mir selbst überlassen. Den Job als Wachhund nehme ich im Tierheim immer noch sehr ernst, also bin ich Fremden gegenüber zunächst sehr misstrauisch. Menschen, die ich kenne und in mein Herz geschlossen habe, liebe ich dafür umso mehr. Ich bin also ein toller Kumpel, sobald ich meine „Für immer“-Menschen gefunden habe. Für Schäferhund-Liebhaber bin ich ein absoluter Traum! Video Aktuell meistens am Wochende könnt Ihr unsere Fellnasen auch live bei Twitch oder YouTube sehen.

About Aik

What life with Aik looks like

Aik is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Hassberge in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
