Aliz

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 9 months

Aliz is barely a year old and has probably already experienced more than she's comfortable with. She likely spent her first months on a chain. She hasn't had much contact with people. You can tell. She doesn't walk securely on a leash and doesn't seek out people on walks. If something scares her, she retreats and hides in her hut. She's still wary of cars on the road. But Aliz is not an anxious or aggressive dog. On the contrary. She's sweet, gentle, and very eager to learn. Once she trusts you, she shows her very own special personality. A dog you shouldn't overlook. We're looking for people to give Aliz time. People who don't expect everything to work out from day one, but show her she can rely on them. She needs to learn the world outside her hut is safe. She'll probably get along well with kids. Given her size, it should be a family with kids 12 and up. Her compatibility with other dogs hasn't been tested yet. Aliz is ready for her next step. And maybe someone out there is just waiting for her to finally learn how nice a home can be.

It's best to contact the above-mentioned adoption agent in writing (by email or WhatsApp) and ask for a callback (don't forget to include your phone number if necessary). Please be patient! Our pets travel with Traces and are only placed in Germany (nationwide).

We only place dogs if there's no elevator, max. to the 2nd floor to prevent health issues.

Aliz ist gerade einmal knapp ein Jahr alt und trotzdem hat sie vermutlich schon mehr erlebt, als ihr lieb war. Ihre ersten Lebensmonate hat sie wahrscheinlich an einer Kette verbracht. Viel Kontakt zu Menschen hatte sie bisher nicht. Das merkt man ihr an. An der Leine läuft sie noch nicht sicher und auf Spaziergängen sucht sie nicht von selbst die Nähe zu Menschen. Wenn ihr etwas unheimlich ist, zieht sie sich lieber zurück und verschwindet in ihrer Hütte. Auch vor Autos auf der Straße hat sie noch Respekt. Aber Aliz ist keine ängstliche oder aggressive Hündin. Im Gegenteil. Sie ist lieb, gutmütig und sehr lernwillig. Wenn sie Vertrauen gefasst hat, zeigt sie ihre ganz eigene, besondere Persönlichkeit. Eine Hündin, die man nicht einfach übersehen sollte. Für Aliz suchen wir Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben. Menschen, die nicht erwarten, dass vom ersten Tag an alles funktioniert, sondern ihr zeigen, dass sie sich auf sie verlassen kann. Sie muss noch lernen, dass die Welt außerhalb ihrer Hütte sicher ist. Mit Kindern dürfte Aliz gut zurechtkommen. Aufgrund ihrer Größe sollte es allerdings eher eine Familie mit Kindern ab 12 Jahren sein. Wie sie sich mit anderen Hunden versteht, wurde bisher noch nicht getestet. Aliz ist bereit für ihren nächsten Schritt. Und vielleicht wartet genau irgendwo der Mensch, bei dem sie endlich lernen darf, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann.

About Aliz

What life with Aliz looks like

Aliz is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Glück für Pfoten e.V. in Dortmund.

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 Aliz, answered.

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