Alaska

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Alaska, born approximately May 2024, neutered, approximately 65 cm shoulder height, at the shelter since April 2026 This beautiful Herdenschutzhund mix female was born in 2024, possibly even later, and has a shoulder height of around 65 cm. She was surrendered to us and was in a shockingly poor condition at the time. In the meantime, she has recovered wonderfully and shows more and more every day what a great dog is in her. She is an exceptionally friendly and people-oriented female who enjoys human contact very much. Although she has not had much opportunity to meet new people, she approaches new situations openly and without fear. She is curious, accessible and likes to be approached and led. In contact with other dogs, she shows herself very self-confident and sometimes even dominant. Since she has annoyed her two roommates several times, she is currently chained in front of the shelter so that we can keep an eye on her contact with other dogs. Although she no longer has as much exercise as she did in the field with her old roommates, she now has much more human contact and is also taken on a leash, which she does surprisingly well. She likes to orientate herself towards humans and shows herself to be uncomplicated and willing to learn. Typical of a Herdenschutzhund, she brings a calm aura and a certain independence, but at the same time she is very friendly and cooperative. She is looking for people who can show her the world and give her the security she has never had before. Now she is missing the most important thing: a home of her own, where she can arrive and finally experience how beautiful a sheltered dog life can be. Since she is partly a Herdenschutzhund, it is possible that she will develop corresponding behaviors in her new home. Therefore, we would like her to have a home in the countryside with a fenced garden, preferably with people who have already gained experience with Herdenschutzhunde or their crossbreeds and appreciate their characteristics. Currently located in Romania and allowed to leave if a home is found. Travels chipped and vaccinated (EU vaccination passport; vaccinations: rabies and basic immunization). All dogs are treated against intestinal parasites and ectoparasites on arrival at the shelter and at least once a year thereafter. The described behavioral observations are based on everyday life in the shelter and may be different in a domestic environment under changed living conditions. The transport (registered with Traces) will be organized and carried out by us, as far as legally possible for the country of destination. Please note the information on this page:

09/2026 Alaska, geboren ca. 05/2024, kastriert, ca. 65 cm Schulterhöhe, im Shelter seit 04/2026 Diese wunderschöne Herdenschutzhund-Mix-Hündin ist etwa 2024 geboren, vielleicht sogar noch etwas später, und hat eine Schulterhöhe von rund 65 cm. Sie wurde bei uns abgegeben und befand sich damals in einem erschreckend schlechten Zustand. Inzwischen hat sie sich wunderbar erholt und zeigt jeden Tag mehr, was für ein toller Hund in ihr steckt. Sie ist eine ausgesprochen freundliche und menschenbezogene Hündin, die den Kontakt zu Menschen sehr genießt. Obwohl sie bisher nicht viel kennenlernen durfte, begegnet sie neuen Situationen offen und ohne Angst. Sie ist neugierig, zugänglich und lässt sich gerne ansprechen und führen. In Kontakt zu anderen Hunden zeigt sie sich sehr selbstsicher und manchmal auch dominant. Da sie ihre beiden Mitbewohner mehrmals geärgert hat, lebt sie zurzeit vor dem Shelter an der Kette, sodass wir den Kontakt zu anderen Hunden im Auge behalten können. Zwar hat sie jetzt nicht mehr so viel Auslauf, wie auf den Feld bei ihren alten Mitbewohnern, jedoch hat sie jetzt viel mehr Menschenkontakt und wird auch an der Leine ausgeführt, was sie erstaunlich gut macht. Sie orientiert sich gerne am Menschen und zeigt sich dabei unkompliziert und lernwillig. Typisch für einen Herdenschutzhund bringt sie eine ruhige Ausstrahlung und eine gewisse Eigenständigkeit mit, gleichzeitig ist sie aber sehr freundlich und kooperativ. Sie sucht Menschen, die ihr die Welt zeigen und ihr die Sicherheit geben, die sie bisher nie hatte. Nun fehlt ihr nur noch das Wichtigste: ein eigenes Zuhause, in dem sie ankommen darf und endlich erfährt, wie schön ein behütetes Hundeleben sein kann. Da sie zum Teil Herdenschutzhund ist, kann es sein, dass sie in ihrem neuen Zuhause entsprechende Verhaltensweisen entwickelt. Daher wünschen wir uns für sie ein ländlich gelegenes Zuhause mit einem eingezäunten Garten, bestenfalls bei Menschen die bereits Erfahrung mit Herdenschutzhunden oder deren Mischlingen sammeln konnten und deren Eigenschaften zu schätzen wissen. Befindet sich aktuell in Rumänien und darf ausreisen, wenn sie ein Zuhause gefunden hat. Reist gechipt und geimpft (EU Impfpass; Impfungen: Tollwut und Grundimmunisierung). Alle Hunde werden bei ihrer Ankunft im Shelter sowie anschließend mindestens einmal jährlich gegen Darmparasiten und Ektoparasiten behandelt. Die geschilderten Verhaltensbeobachtungen basieren auf dem Alltag im Shelter und können sich in einem häuslichen Umfeld unter veränderten Lebensbedingungen entsprechend anders darstellen. Der Transport (angemeldet mit Traces) wird von uns, so weit es für das Bestimmungsland rechtlich möglich ist, organisiert und durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie die Informationen auf dieser Seite:

About Alaska

What life with Alaska looks like

Alaska is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope for Future e.V. in Germany.

A 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alaska, answered.

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