How do I contact the shelter about Ari?

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

Can I adopt Ari if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi 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 Ari 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 Ari 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 Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ari 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.

Full of joie de vivre, curiosity and good mood, he goes through life and manages to make the people around him smile with his cheerful nature. The young male lives currently in our boarding kennel in Bosnia and is waiting there for his own family. Ari is very people-oriented and loves the closeness of his caregivers. He wants to be there, discover the world with his humans and experience adventures together. At the same time, he shows himself to be absolutely compatible with his fellow dogs and gets along wonderfully in the pack. Ari approaches new things openly and interested. He brings a healthy dose of courage without being reckless. For him, life is just beginning and that's why he's looking for people who will accompany him lovingly, consistently and with a lot of patience on his journey. Of course, a young dog doesn't just mean cuddling and cute photos. There will be days when shoes suddenly become particularly exciting or you wonder what Ari's next idea is. Then a deep breath often helps - and usually a smile. Who

Voller Lebensfreude, Neugier und guter Laune geht er durchs Leben und schafft es mit seiner fröhlichen Art, die Menschen um sich herum zum Lächeln zu bringen. Der junge Rüde lebt derzeit in unserer Pension in Bosnien und wartet dort auf seine eigene Familie. Ari ist sehr menschenbezogen und liebt die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen. Er möchte dabei sein, mit seinen Menschen die Welt entdecken und gemeinsam Abenteuer erleben. Gleichzeitig zeigt er sich absolut verträglich mit seinen Artgenossen und kommt im Rudel wunderbar zurecht. Ari begegnet neuen Dingen offen und interessiert. Er bringt eine gesunde Portion Mut mit, ohne dabei kopflos zu sein. Für ihn beginnt das Leben jetzt erst richtig und deshalb sucht er Menschen, die ihn liebevoll, konsequent und mit viel Geduld auf seinem Weg begleiten. Natürlich bedeutet ein junger Hund nicht nur Kuscheln und niedliche Fotos. Es wird Tage geben, an denen Schuhe plötzlich besonders spannend sind oder man sich fragt, was Ari wohl als Nächstes für eine Idee hat. Dann hilft oft ein tiefes Durchatmen – und meistens auch ein Schmunzeln. Wer

About Ari

What life with Ari looks like

Ari is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Franz von Assisi e.V. in Germany.

An 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 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.
