How do I contact the shelter about Areso?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Seelen für Seelchen e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Areso on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Areso if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Seelen für Seelchen 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 Areso 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 Areso 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 Seelen für Seelchen e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Areso 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.

Adopt Areso

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Profile: Born in July 2015, gender: male, neutered: yes, character: friendly, very interested in people, reserved, well-gradable with other dogs, size: approx. 46 cm, in shelter since: September 2021, special: due to his high age, we urgently seek a home (emergency placement). Hello, I am Areso. I was rescued from a kill shelter, puuh, what a lucky break. Originally, my life was supposed to be over, but now I'm using my second chance and looking for my own home. At first, I was very shy and barely ventured out of the hut. But who could blame me, after everything I've experienced. But with time, I've realized that these people here are different. Here, I was treated with respect and I became a feeling being that deserves a better life. I sit here in the yard with real fearbunnies. They've probably had similar experiences, but can't just shake them off. Their wounds run too deep. I've realized, however, that things won't get better in this snail's house. How can my situation improve if I don't take the first step? Now, I've taken that step for a while and have let these people in. A tasty treat from your hand is no problem for me, and if you enter my yard, I come to you willingly. Now, I'm on the search. The search for people who will take me by the paw and show me the beautiful sides of life. Are you perhaps like me, on the search? I know, I'm no longer a young spry one, and as a senior, it's not easy to start anew. But I don't give up hope that it's not too late for me... If you are interested in Areso, please fill out our interest form or write us an email or a message on Facebook. Areso is ready to travel and can travel to Germany with the next transport. Our dogs travel legally with Traces. Traces refers to the database system that monitors the entire animal transport within the EU. The dogs travel neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed, and have an EU passport. Additionally, for dogs over 12 months of age, a rapid test for the following Mediterranean diseases is conducted before travel arrangements: Borreliosis, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Dirofilariosis, and leishmaniasis. The sponsorship for Areso has been taken over by Mareike S., and thus ensures a full plate. Many thanks on behalf of the dogs!. Gets along with other dogs.

About Areso

What life with Areso looks like

Areso is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at Seelen für Seelchen e.V. in Alfter.

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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
