Ares

Mixed Breed · Male

The small Ares was found straying at the entrance of a multi-day facility house. He appeared unsure, disoriented, and showed extreme emaciation. The Spanish animal rescuers lovingly nourished him, and he is now a beautiful and healthy male dog. Ares currently lives problemlessly with other dogs on a property. He walks perfectly on a leash. The little intelligent prick-eared dog is happy, playful, and very cuddly. Despite his age, he is very obedient. He is very content and behaves quietly and still when left alone. Due to his behavior, the Spanish animal welfare workers are convinced that Ares definitively used to be a house dog. He is a small heart-melting cuddle toy that now longs for his own family.

Der kleine ARES wurde streunend im Hauseingang eines Mehretagenhauses aufgefunden. Er zeigte sich unsicher, desorientiert und wies eine extreme Abmagerung auf. Er wurde von den spanischen Tierschützern liebevoll aufgepäppelt, und ist jetzt wieder ein wunderschöner und gesunder Rüde. ARES lebt derzeit problemlos mit anderen Hunden auf einem Grundstück. Er läuft perfekt an der Leine. Das kleine intelligente Schlitzohr ist fröhlich, lustig und sehr verschmust. Trotz seines Alters ist er sehr folgsam. Er ist sehr genügsam und verhält sich ruhig und still wenn er alleine bleiben muss. Aufgrund seines Verhaltens sind die spanischen Tierschützer davon überzeugt, dass ARES definitiv vorher ein Wohnungshund war. Er ist ein kleines herzraubendes Kuscheltier, dass nun sehnsüchtig auf eine eigene Familie wartet.

About Ares

What life with Ares looks like

Ares is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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 Ares, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ares?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. 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 — Pfotenhilfe Sachsen 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 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 Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. 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.
