Alani

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

During our visit in November 25, we were positively surprised by how well Alani has developed. She appears more self-assured in behavior, is open, and seeks contact with visitors. In the mixed-sex group, she gets along very well, sharing a run with five other dogs, and it was a very harmonious coexistence. We hope that Alani will soon be discovered by her people and allowed to leave the animal shelter. We met Alani at the animal shelter during our visit in mid-November 24. The sweet one shares the run with her two sisters. When the group of visitors was discovered, all three jumped excitedly against the bars. Alani made a great effort to be seen and stroked. She licked the hands and pressed herself tightly against the bars. In the run, she approached us, let herself be stroked, and was simply happy that someone was paying attention to her. When we asked to take Alani for the photoshoot on a leash, she became panicky and tried to escape the anxious situation. This is now being trained with her. Alani and her siblings were thrown over the fence of a standing empty agricultural facility by their heartless owner to die. It was sheer luck that someone on the premises checked on things and discovered the frightened and hungry puppies. Ancsa was informed and managed to secure the frightened puppies. She found a foster home in Gyula, which took in the four puppies and cared for them lovingly. Although the little ones live in a run with a doghouse, it is significantly less stressful than at the animal shelter, and the infection risk is also lower. In the first days, Alani was very afraid and retreated as soon as a person came to the kennel. Now she has realized that the people mean well to her and is happy to see her foster parent. While the siblings are guessed to be mixed with retrievers, Alani more closely resembles a German Shepherd mix. Since we do not know the parents, we cannot make a reliable statement about which breeds are involved. As Alani has barely learned anything in her previous life, she needs people who can show her with love and empathy all the things that are important for a beautiful dog life. New stimuli should be dosed well so that she can process them and see them as harmless. The new home should be quiet and not too turbulent to not overwhelm Alani. A securely fenced garden, where she can run and also relieve herself in the first time, would be desirable.

Bei unserem Besuch im November 25 waren wir positiv überrascht, wie gut Alani sich entwickelt hat. Sie erscheint im Verhalten deutlich selbstbewusster, ist offen und sucht den Kontakt zu den Besuchern. In der gemischtgeschlechtlichen Gruppe kommt sie sehr gut zurecht, fünf Hunde im Auslauf und es war ein sehr harmonisches Miteinander. Wir hoffen, dass auch Alani bald von ihren Menschen entdeckt wird und das Tierheim hinter sich lassen darf. Wir haben Alani bei unserem Besuch Mitte November 24 im Tierheim kennengelernt. Die Süße teilt sich den Zwinger mit ihren beiden Schwestern. Als die Bande uns Besucher entdeckte, sprangen alle drei aufgeregt am Gitter hoch. Alani gab sich große Mühe, gesehen und gestreichelt zu werden. Sie schleckte die Hände ab und drückte sich fest an das Gitter. Im Freilauf nahm sie zu uns Kontakt auf, ließ sich streicheln und war einfach nur happy, dass sich jemand mit ihre beschäftigte. Als wir darum baten, Alani für das Fotoshooting an die Leine zu nehmen, geriet sie Panik und versuchte der ängstigenden Situation zu entfliehen. Dies wird nun mit ihr trainiert. Alani und ihre Geschwister wurden von ihrem herzlosen Besitzer zum Sterben über den Zaun einer leerstehende Agraranlage geworfen. Es war purer Zufall, dass jemand auf dem Gelände nach dem Rechten sah und die verstörten und ausgehungerten Welpen entdeckte. Ancsa wurde informiert und es gelang ihr, die verschreckten Welpen zu sichern. Sie fand eine Pflegestelle in Gyula, die die vier Welpen aufnahm und liebevoll umsorgt. Hier leben die Kleinen zwar in einem Zwinger mit Hundehütte, aber es ist deutlich stressfreier als im Tierheim und auch der Infektionsdruck ist geringer. In den ersten Tagen war Alani sehr ängstlich und zog sich zurück, sobald ein Mensch zum Kennel kam. Mittlerweile hat sie gemerkt, dass die Menschen es gut mit ihr meinen und freut sich, wenn sie ihr Pflegefrauchen erblickt. Während man bei den Geschwistern vom Aussehen auf Retrievermischlinge tippt, erinnert Alani eher an einen Schäferhund-Mischling. Da wir die Elterntiere nicht kennen, können wir keine zuverlässige Aussage machen, welche Rassen beteiligt sind. Da Alani in ihrem bisherigen Leben kaum etwas kennen lernen konnte, braucht sie Menschen, die ihr mit viel Liebe und Einfühlungsvermögen all die Dinge zeigen, die für ein schönes Hundeleben wichtig sind. Neue Reize sollten wohldosiert sein, damit sie diese angemessen verarbeiten und als ungefährlich einstufen kann. Das neue Zuhause sollte ruhig gelegen und nicht zu turbulent sein, um Alani nicht mit zu überfordern. Ein sicher eingezäunter Garten, in dem sie toben und sich in der ersten Zeit auch lösen kann, wäre wünschenswert.

About Alani

What life with Alani looks like

Alani is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Fellfreunde e.V. in Solingen.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Alani, answered.

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