Ares

Labrador Retriever · Male · Young · 2 years

Jung, aktiv und für jeden Blödsinn zu haben. So kann man Ares ganz gut beschreiben. Typisch Labrador liebt er das Wasser und unsere Pools/ Wassermuscheln (da ein großes Danke an alle Spender) werden von ihm richtig gut genutzt. Vorsichtiges reinspringen, im Wasser herumgraben oder ein paar Minuten entspannt darin herum liegen: So verbringt er die warmen Sommertage am liebsten. Er ist wirklich die Definition von "Wasserratte". Ares ist 2 Jahre alt und kam aus Überforderung zu uns. Vielleicht weil er ein so aktiver Kerl ist und man mit seiner Energie nicht richtig umgehen konnte. Dabei ist er wirklich ein braver Hund, wenn man ihm den Auslauf und Bewegung bietet, nach der er sich so sehnt. Eine Sache ist allerdings eigenartig. Herumliegende Krümel oder Essen das unbeobachtet steht, verschwindet plötzlich. Wenn man ihn danach fragt, sieht er nur unschuldig in die Luft. Ein unerklärliches Phänomen. Ares eignet sich gut für einen sportlichen Haushalt mit standfesten Kindern. Seine Familie sollte eine Vorliebe für Ausflüge ans Wasser haben und idealerweise bereit sein, einen Hundepool zu kaufen.

About Ares

What life with Ares looks like

Ares is a large young adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Arche Noah in Graz.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇦🇹Adopting from Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ares, answered.

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