Aika

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Mein Name ist Aika! Aika ist im Mai 2026 gemeinsam mit einigen anderen Hunden aus der Smeura in Rumänien zu uns gekommen. Anfangs war sie nach dem Motto „Erst mal aus sicherer Entfernung beobachten“ unterwegs und brauchte etwas Überzeugungsarbeit, bis sie sich auf uns eingelassen hat. Bei fremden Menschen ist sie zunächst etwas skeptisch. Vertrauen muss man sich bei ihr verdienen. Hat man ihr Herz aber erst einmal erobert, ist man für sie der tollste Mensch der Welt. Mit anderen Hunden versteht sich Aika prima und ist gut sozialisiert. Am Zaun macht sie gerne mal den großen Wachhund und kommentiert lautstark das Geschehen – ganz nach dem Motto: „Hier passe ich auf!“ Betritt man ihr Reich, ist der Spuk aber meist genauso schnell wieder vorbei. An der Leine läuft Aika schon richtig ordentlich. Natürlich ist bei der Leinenführigkeit und auch der Stubenreinheit noch Luft nach oben, aber sie lernt gern und möchte ihren Menschen gefallen. Da Aika aus einem riesigen Tierheim kommt, kennt sie viele Dinge unseres Alltags noch nicht. Neue Eindrücke, Haushaltsgeräusche oder das Leben in einem Zuhause muss sie erst kennenlernen. Deshalb sucht sie Menschen, die ihr die Zeit geben, in Ruhe anzukommen und ihr die Welt Schritt für Schritt zeigen. Wer Aika die Zeit gibt, in Ruhe anzukommen, wird mit einer liebevollen, verschmusten und unglaublich treuen Hündin belohnt, die ihren Menschen am liebsten nicht mehr von der Seite weicht.

About Aika

What life with Aika looks like

Aika is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim in Germany.

An young 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.

🇩🇪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 Aika, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aika?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim 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 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 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.
