Ares /aka "Äresbruder"

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 14 years

Ares came back to us unfortunately once again. Despite his age, he’s a stubborn one and after some time, he’s defending his home and his people. Of course, one has to be prepared for that and have sufficient dog experience to intervene in time. We are looking for a ground-floor, child-free home with air conditioning in the apartment for our dear, quiet dog, Ares. Due to his laryngectomy, he pants quickly. shoulder height ca.

Ares kam leider wieder zu uns zurück. Er ist trotz seines Alters ein Sturkopf und verteidigt nach einiger Zeit sein Zuhause und seine Menschen.Damit muss man natürlich zurechtkommen und genügend Hundeerfahrung besitzern, um rechtzeitig einzuschreiten. Wir suchen für den lieben ruhigen Hundeopi ein ebenerdiges kinderfreies Zuhause mit Klimaanlage in der Wohnung. Durch seine Kehlkopflähmung hechelt er schnell. Schulterhöhe ca. 64 cm

About Ares /aka "Äresbruder"

What life with Ares /aka "Äresbruder" looks like

Ares /aka "Äresbruder" is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Heppenheim in Germany.

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.

🇩🇪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 Ares /aka "Äresbruder", answered.

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