Aleska

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Aleska is a calm and special dog who has grown old during her six years at the animal shelter. Now, she no longer seeks an exciting daily routine but rather a loving home where she can simply feel at ease. Her walks can now be short and cozy—much more important to Aleska than long outings are her people and the time they spend together. Once she’s built trust, she becomes very affectionate, eager for human attention, and thoroughly enjoys being close to her trusted caregivers. Nevertheless, she remains an independent dog who needs people who respect her personality, provide her with security, and don’t place excessive demands on her. Those who meet her with calmness and understanding will gain a loyal companion who shows her affection in a truly special way. For Aleska, we wish for a peaceful home where she can spend her golden years—with leisurely walks, tender care, and people who let her simply be a dog.

DE·Show original

Aleska ist eine ruhige und besondere Hündin, die in den mittlerweile sechs Jahren im Tierheim alt geworden ist. Inzwischen sucht sie keinen aufregenden Alltag mehr, sondern einen liebevollen Platz, an dem sie einfach ankommen darf. Ihre Spaziergänge dürfen mittlerweile gerne kurz und gemütlich sein. Viel wichtiger als lange Unternehmungen sind für Aleska ihre Menschen und die gemeinsame Zeit mit ihnen. Hat sie Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt sie sich sehr zutraulich, zuneigungsbedürftig und genießt die Nähe ihrer Bezugspersonen. Trotzdem bleibt sie eine eigenständige Hündin, die Menschen braucht, die ihre Persönlichkeit respektieren, ihr Sicherheit geben und keine großen Erwartungen an sie stellen. Wer ihr mit Ruhe und Verständnis begegnet, bekommt eine loyale Begleiterin, die ihre Zuneigung auf ganz besondere Weise zeigt. Für Aleska wünschen wir uns einen ruhigen Platz, an dem sie ihren Lebensabend verbringen darf – mit gemütlichen Spaziergängen, liebevoller Fürsorge und Menschen, bei denen sie einfach Hund sein kann.

About Aleska

What life with Aleska looks like

Aleska is a extra-large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Wiesbaden in Wiesbaden.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Needs patient, experienced owner who respects boundaries. Requires structured approach to socialization.

🇩🇪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 Aleska, answered.

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