Ariojito (Ari)

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Ariojito, affectionately known as "Ari" or "The Pony" by his admirers, is a handsome young dog. At just one year old, he has a lot of energy and mischief in his head and definitely needs physically stable people who can handle him when he gets excited. In his excitement, he is energetic and impulsive and doesn't seem to know how much force he's using when he jumps on people. However, he is friendly and it's about setting boundaries and good rules for him and guiding his sometimes silly ideas into good behavior.We are looking for active people who can provide him with physical exercise but also help him learn patience and calmness so he can lead a relaxed and balanced life as a dog and not run around like a wild baby. Once he's calmed down and realizes his people won't engage in his antics, he goes for a relaxed walk and can convince almost everyone that he's a gentle giant - almost a lamb.Ari is very good with other dogs and his open and cheerful nature makes him a great companion who can give even the most timid a boost of confidence.This young dog is not suitable for the city or busy neighborhoods due to his considerable size and should be able to reach his home via elevator or on the ground floor.If you would like to meet Ariojito, please visit the animal shelter during our adoption hours or send a detailed email to our dog caregivers.

Ariojito, kurz „Ari“ (oder „Das Pony“ wie ihn Liebhaber ihn auch heimlich nennen) ist ein stattlicher junger Hund. Mit gerade einem Jahr hat eine große Portion Unsinn im Kopf und benötigt definitiv körperlich stabile Menschen, die ihn im Zweifel gut halten können.In Aufregung ist er energetisch und distanzlos und scheint gar nicht zu wissen, mit wieviel Schwung er durchs Leben und manchmal eben auch auf Menschen zuhüpft. Da er aber durchweg freundlich ist, geht es bei ihm darum, ihm seine Grenzen und gute Regeln aufzuzeigen und die die manchmal noch sehr unsinnigen Ideen in gute Bahnen zu leiten.Für diesen besonderen Kerl suchen wir aktive Menschen, die ihr sowohl ausreichend körperliche Auslastung bieten können, mit ihm aber ebenfalls aber am Erlernen von Ruhe und Geduld und dem Hundeeinmaleins arbeiten, damit er zukünftig ein entspanntes und ausgeglichenes Hundeleben führen kann und nicht wie ein wildes Riesenbaby durch die Welt stürmt. Hat er die erste Aufregung jedoch abgelegt und merkt, dass seine Menschen sich nicht auf Albernheiten einlassen, geht er ganz entspannt spazieren und kann – fast alle – davon überzeugen, dass er ein sanfter Riese – also fast ein Schäfchen ist.Mit Artgenossen ist Ari bestens verträglich und bietet durch seine unvoreingenommene und fröhliche Art als Begleiter auch kleinen Angsthasen ein wenig Mut.Für die Stadt bzw. stark belebte Stadteile ist dieser junge Rüde nichts, aufgrund seiner beachtlichen Größe sollte er keine Treppen gehen müssen und sein Zuhause mit dem Lift oder ebenerdig erreichen können.Wenn Sie Ariojito kennenlernen möchten, kommen Sie gern während der Vermittlungszeiten persönlich im Tierheim vorbei oder schreiben Sie eine aussagekräftige E Mail unter an unsere Hundepflegerinnen.

About Ariojito (Ari)

What life with Ariojito (Ari) looks like

Ariojito (Ari) is a extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Franziskus-Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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 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 Ariojito (Ari), answered.

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