Adopt Archie

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 10 months

Archie – a quiet treasure with a big heart Archie is a young, sensitive dog who was found wandering with his brother. This experience has made him cautious – but behind his quiet demeanor lies a cheerful, loving nature that longs to be near "his" people. At first, Archie prefers to observe from the sidelines, but with a little patience and loving affection, he quickly gains trust, warms up, and shows how much joy is in him. He feels most comfortable in a calm environment: without rush, with clear routines and people who give him security and affection. Archie really likes friendly fellow animals; a confident only dog would be good for him – or perhaps he might even start a new life together with his brother. Archie is not only loyal, but also very intelligent. With treats and a love of learning, he quickly understood "sit" and "come" and shows how quickly he grasps things and how much he enjoys working with his person. Whoever gives Archie their heart gets a sensitive, smart companion who grows into a cheerful, reliable friend for life over time. The animals are described as they behave in the animal shelter or on the foster home. This behavior does not appear immediately upon arrival. Some may initially react with fear to the new situation. Animals from the animal protection have all had a past that was usually not nice or even cruel. This past cannot be shaken off overnight. They need time to settle in and gain trust. Please be patient and give your animal the necessary time!

Archie – ein leiser Schatz mit großem Herzen Archie ist ein junger, sensibler Hund, der gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder umherirrend gefunden wurde. Diese Erfahrung hat ihn vorsichtig gemacht – doch hinter seiner ruhigen Art verbirgt sich ein fröhliches, liebevolles Wesen, das nichts sehnlicher möchte, als in der Nähe von „seinem“ Menschen zu sein. Anfangs beobachtet Archie lieber aus der zweiten Reihe, doch mit ein wenig Geduld und liebevoller Zuwendung fasst er schnell Vertrauen, taut auf und zeigt, wie viel Lebensfreude in ihm steckt. Er fühlt sich in einer ruhigen Umgebung besonders wohl: ohne Hektik, mit klaren Abläufen und Menschen, die ihm Sicherheit und Zuneigung schenken. Freundliche Artgenossen mag Archie sehr, ein souveräner Ersthund würde ihm guttun – oder vielleicht darf er sogar gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder in ein neues Leben starten. Archie ist nicht nur treu, sondern auch ausgesprochen intelligent. Mit Leckerlis und Freude am Lernen hat er „Sitz“ und „Komm“ im Handumdrehen verstanden und zeigt dabei, wie schnell er begreift und wie gern er mit seinem Menschen zusammenarbeitet. Wer Archie sein Herz schenkt, bekommt einen feinfühligen, klugen Begleiter, der mit der Zeit zu einem fröhlichen, verlässlichen Freund fürs Leben heranwächst. Die Tiere werden so beschrieben, wie sie sich im Tierheim oder auf der Pflegestelle verhalten. Dieses Verhalten zeigen sie nicht sofort bei Ankunft. Manche reagieren auch anfangs mit Ängstlichkeit auf die neue Situation. Tiere aus dem Tierschutz haben alle eine Vergangenheit, die meist wenig schön bis grausam war. Diese Vergangenheit lässt sich nicht von heute auf morgen abschütteln. Sie brauchen Zeit, um ankommen zu dürfen und Vertrauen fassen zu dürfen. Bitte haben Sie Geduld und lassen Sie Ihrem Tier die nötige Zeit!

About Archie

What life with Archie looks like

Archie is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Aegean Dogs e.V. / FAZA Aegina in Berlin.

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 Archie, answered.

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