Aika im Probewohnen

Chihuahua · Female · Adult · 8 years

I am Aika – a rather shy, friendly, and reserved female dog. In new situations, I sometimes need a bit of time to build trust, preferring to observe first in peace and orienting myself to the people around me. If given this time, however, I show my loving and gentle side. Other dogs are fine with me, and therefore, a nice second dog that I can orient myself to would be welcome in my new home. A quiet household would suit me particularly well, as chaos and hustle and bustle are not my thing. Although I am small, I do not want to be carried around all the time. I like to walk on my own and wish for people who enjoy relaxed walks and take me seriously as any other dog. Walking together and discovering the world in peace sounds great. As a Chihuahua, my future people should be aware that this breed can bring some health issues due to their breeding. Therefore, I wish for people who address these issues and handle my needs responsibly. Currently, however, no health problems are known to me. I am looking for loving, patient people who give me security and want to go through life with me step by step. Born: 16.05.2018 Breed: Chihuahua Color:

Ich bin Aika – eine eher schüchterne, freundliche und zurückhaltende kleine Hündin. In neuen Situationen brauche ich manchmal etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen, beobachte zuerst lieber in Ruhe und orientiere mich an den Menschen um mich herum. Wenn man mir diese Zeit gibt, zeige ich aber meine liebevolle und sanfte Seite. Andere Hunde finde ich in Ordnung und deshalb dürfte in meinem neuen Zuhause gerne bereits ein netter Zweithund leben, an dem ich mich orientieren kann. Ein ruhiger Haushalt würde mir besonders gut gefallen, denn Hektik und Trubel sind nicht so mein Ding. Auch wenn ich klein bin, möchte ich nicht ständig getragen werden. Ich laufe gerne selbst und wünsche mir Menschen, die Freude an entspannten Spaziergängen haben und mich ernst nehmen wie jeden anderen Hund auch. Gemeinsam unterwegs zu sein und dabei in Ruhe die Welt zu entdecken, gefällt mir sehr. Da ich ein Chihuahua bin, sollte meinen zukünftigen Menschen bewusst sein, dass diese Rasse durch ihre Zucht einige gesundheitliche Themen mitbringen kann. Deshalb wünsche ich mir Menschen, die sich damit auseinandersetzen und verantwortungsvoll mit meinen Bedürfnissen umgehen. Aktuell sind bei mir jedoch keine gesundheitlichen Probleme bekannt. Ich suche liebevolle, geduldige Menschen, die mir Sicherheit geben und mit mir gemeinsam Schritt für Schritt durchs Leben gehen möchten. Geboren : 16.05.2018 Rasse : Chihuahua Farbe : gestrommt

About Aika im Probewohnen

What life with Aika im Probewohnen looks like

Aika im Probewohnen is a small adult chihuahua dog waiting at Tierheim am Böhler in Unterkulm.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Aika im Probewohnen, answered.

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