Ares

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Ares is looking for his Forever Home 🐾 Ares is 2 years old and searching for people who can give him the time to settle in and build trust. At first, he approaches new situations and people with caution and reserve. Once he has built trust, however, he reveals his true nature: a charming clown with plenty of charm, humor, and joie de vivre. 🤡❤️ Ares is not a dog for beginners. He is looking for people with experience in dog care, ideally with breed-specific experience, who can guide him with confidence and love. Especially ideal would be a home with an already established, confident female dog that he can look to for guidance. For Ares, we wish for: 🐾 Breed or breed-specific experience 🐾 Patience, understanding, and loving consistency 🐾 Preferably a home with an existing female dog 🐾 A family connection and a life as a full-fledged family member Ares will not be rehomed in a kennel or outdoor setting, and he also does not want to live in small apartments in the city without a garden. He distances himself from people who misunderstand a dog as a status symbol, who fiddle with spike or electric collars, or who use other strange methods that cause animals to lose trust in humans and cause any form of pain….he wants to be understood, not broken. He wishes for a life in the middle of a family, learning, experiencing, and belonging alongside his people. Whoever gives him the chance to look beyond his initial insecurity wins a loyal companion with a big heart and a healthy dose of humor.

Ares sucht sein Für-immer-Zuhause 🐾 Ares ist 2 Jahre jung und auf der Suche nach Menschen, die ihm die Zeit geben, anzukommen und Vertrauen zu fassen. Anfangs begegnet er neuen Situationen und Menschen eher vorsichtig und zurückhaltend. Hat er jedoch Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt sich sein wahres Wesen: ein liebenswerter Clown mit jeder Menge Charme, Humor und Lebensfreude. 🤡❤️ Ares ist kein Hund für Anfänger. Er sucht Menschen mit Hunde- bzw. idealerweise Rasseerfahrung, die ihn souverän und liebevoll begleiten. Besonders schön wäre für ihn ein Zuhause mit einer bereits vorhandenen, souveränen Hündin, an der er sich orientieren kann. Für Ares wünschen wir uns: 🐾 Hunde- bzw. Rasseerfahrung 🐾 Geduld, Verständnis und liebevolle Konsequenz 🐾 Gerne eine vorhandene Hündin 🐾 Familienanschluss und ein Leben als vollwertiges Familienmitglied Nicht vermittelt wird Ares in Zwinger- oder Außenhaltung sowie kleine Wohnungen in der Stadt, ohne Garten möchte er auch nicht leben. Ebenso nimmt er Abstand von Menschen die einen Hund als Statussymbol missverstehen, mit Stachel- oder Stromhalsbändern rumhantieren oder andere seltsame Methoden an den Tag legen bei denen Tiere das Vertrauen in Menschen verlieren, Schmerzen in jeglicher Form verursachen…..er möchte verstanden werden, nicht gebrochen. Er wünscht ein Leben mitten in Familie, gemeinsam mit seinen Menschen lernen, erleben und dazugehören. Wer ihm die Chance gibt, hinter seine anfängliche Unsicherheit zu schauen, gewinnt einen treuen Begleiter mit großem Herzen und einer gehörigen Portion Humor. 📧

About Ares

What life with Ares looks like

Ares is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

An young 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. Tierhilfe Franken 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 — Tierhilfe Franken 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 Tierhilfe Franken 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.
