How do I contact the shelter about Aika?

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

Can I adopt Aika if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim und Tierhotel Arche Chur 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 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 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 und Tierhotel Arche Chur early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aika 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.

Adopt Aika

Female · Adult · 8 years

Aika came from a rescue case to us. Now she is looking for her home and would greatly appreciate active and calm new owners. Aika is very social with fellow animals, whether big or small. She has some difficulty orienting herself when there are too many distractions. The environment at the animal shelter can sometimes be too challenging for Aika, as there is a lot of action. She loves being around people and must be trained to stay alone. During walks, she shows a bit of excitement, but does not react to other dogs on leash and is generally a pleasant walking companion. Rolling in the grass and being outside is exactly what she enjoys, so the new home should have a secure yard for Aika to satisfy her needs. Aika would appreciate dog company, but this is not a must. There should not be too much constant commotion in the new home. She was originally trained for hunting, but we do not have any specific details about it. If interested, please fill out the application form for dogs. Breed: Small Münsterländer Weight: 19.6 kg Country of Origin: Germany Current Location: Switzerland Gender: Female, not neutered Date of Birth: 30.05.2018 Time at the animal shelter:

Aika kam aus einem Tierschutzfall zu uns. Nun sucht sie ihr Zuhause und würde sich sehr über unternehmungslustige und ausgeglichene neue Besitzer freuen. Aika ist sehr sozial mit Artgenossen egal ob gross oder klein. Bei zu vielen Reizen hat sie etwas Mühe sich am Menschen zu orientieren. Die Umgebung im Tierheim ist für Aika manchmal etwas schwierig auszuhalten, da sehr viel Action herrscht. Sie liebt es um Menschen herum zu sein und das alleine bleiben muss auf jeden Fall geübt werden. Bei den Spaziergängen zeigt sie sich etwas aufgeregt, reagiert aber nicht auf andere Hunde an der Leine und ist grundsätzlich ein angenehmer Wegbegleiter. Sich in der Wiese wälzen und das Draussen sein ist genau ihr Ding, deshalb sollte es im neuen Zuhause einen gesicherten Garten für Aika haben damit ihre Bedürfnisse gedeckt werden können. Aika würde sich über Hundegesellschaft freuen, dies ist aber kein Muss. Es sollte im neuen Daheim kein allzugrosser stetig anhaltender Tumult herrschen. Sie wurde ursprünglich jagdlich geführt, wir wissen aber keine genauen Details darüber. Bei Interesse füllen Sie bitte das Bewerbungsformular für Hunde aus. Rasse: Kleiner Münsterländer Gewicht: 19.6 kg Zuchtland: Deutschland Aufenthaltsort: Schweiz Geschlecht: weiblich, unkastriert Geburtsdatum: 30.05.2018 Im Tierheim seit: Januar 2026

About Aika

What life with Aika looks like

Aika is a medium-sized adult dog waiting at Tierheim und Tierhotel Arche Chur in Switzerland.

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.
