How do I contact the shelter about Aika?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Aika on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Aika if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 Aika 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 Aika 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aika 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.

Aika

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Breed: Cane Corso mixed breed compatibility with others: Sits well with a male dog in the yard; female dogs not known; Cats: Cannot be tested. Current location: Auffangstation Istanbul (Turkey) Aika was purchased as a puppy by her previous owners, but they never properly cared for her. The owner emigrated to the USA without taking the female dog. She was given to a killing station. Aika is a very gentle and calm female dog, looking for a home with experienced breeders. She is proud and patiently waits every day for her master to finally come back for her. Every day. We hope that the Auffangstation is not her final destination. She wants to live, be there, and go through thick and thin with her people. We are searching for a responsible and, above all, stable home with experience in this breed. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Rasse: Cane Corso Mischling Verträglichkeit: Sitzt mit einem Rüden im Zwinger; Hündinnen nicht bekannt; Katzen: Kann nicht getestet werden. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Auffangstation Istanbul (Türkei) Aika wurde als Welpe von ihren Vorbesitzern angeschafft. Doch sie haben sich nie richtig um sie gekümmert. Der Besitzer wanderte in die USA aus, ohne die Hündin mitzunehmen. Sie wurde in einer Tötungsstation abgegeben. Aika ist eine sehr sanfte und ruhige Hündin, die ein Zuhause bei rasseerfahrenen Haltern sucht. Sie ist stolz und wartet jeden Tag geduldig darauf, dass ihr Herrchen sie endlich wieder abholt. Jeden Tag. Wir hoffen, dass die Auffangstation nicht ihre Endstation wird. Sie möchte leben, dabei sein und mit ihren Menschen durch dick und dünn gehen. Wir suchen ein verantwortungsvolles und vor allem stabiles Zuhause, in dem man Erfahrung mit dieser Rasse hat.

About Aika

What life with Aika looks like

Aika is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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.
