Aitana

Mixed Breed · Female

A girl opened the car door, and Aitana took the chance and jumped into the car. That’s how Aitana ended up at our shelter. The caretakers say she’s simply a treasure. Aitana is very loving and affectionate with people and children. She’s not fearful and also no barker. She probably lived in a house before and knows how to behave. She loves being with the others in the office. We think a family with older children would suit her well. There’s always something going on here, so mental stimulation and walks should be on the agenda. Also, she still needs to learn dog 1×1, but Aitana will be happy to do that. She shows no hunting ambitions.

Ein Mädchen öffnete die Autotür und Aitana nutzte die Chance und sprang ins Auto. So kam Aitana ins Refugium. Sie ist einfach ein Schatz, sagen die Pfleger. Aitana ist sehr lieb und liebevoll im Umgang mit Menschen und Kindern. Sie ist nicht ängstlich und auch kein Beller. Sie hat mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit in einem Haus gelebt. Sie weiß sich zu benehmen. Sie liebt es, mit den anderen im Büro zu sein. Wir denken, eine Familie mit größeren Kindern würde ihr gefallen. Da ist immer etwas los. Beschäftigung und Spaziergänge sollten auf der Tagesordnung stehen. Auch das Hunde 1×1 muss sie noch lernen, aber da wird Aitana mit Freude dabei sein. Sie zeigt keine Jagd-Ambitionen.

About Aitana

What life with Aitana looks like

Aitana is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

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.

🇩🇪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 Aitana, answered.

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