How do I contact the shelter about Arvo?

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

Can I adopt Arvo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Alsfeld 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 Arvo 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 Arvo 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 Tierheim Alsfeld early rather than rehoming privately; they know Arvo 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 Arvo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

All Dogs Arvo Drucken Published: June 3, 2026 Birthdate: estimated March 2025 Gender: male Breed: Windhund-Mix Height (shoulder height): approx. 61cm Weight: 20.9kg Arvo is assigned to the breed Windhund. To which specific group of Windhund Arvo belongs, we cannot say. Arvo is a young, adult dog with little life experience. He must be taken into his life, accompanied, protected, but also challenged, because only in this way can he gradually work his way into a happy and relaxed family dog existence. And what Arvo shows us every day: he wants to!!! Even in our animal shelter, he learns this daily, and it falls to him most easily to practice with the guidance of a dog friend. In his dog group, he feels "windhund-wohl", plays, romps, and has a good time. He practices walking daily and develops wonderfully. Are you patient and active? Do you want to attend school with Arvo? Are you looking for a loyal family companion for life? Then, yes, then you are looking for Arvo. We advise every person and family who wants to take in a dog to make an effort to arrange professional dog training classes beforehand. We can only describe how we get to know them here in the animal shelter environment. In the new home, many dogs develop anew, and it is absolutely recommended to have a competent consultation by your side. Would you like to meet Arvo? Then please call for further information and/or to arrange a visit at the animal shelter. A phone call between 9:00 and 12:00 in the morning and then again between 14:00 and 16:00 would be most helpful. Please have understanding if no one answers the phone immediately, as our office is not always occupied and the staff are often in animal welfare. So please do not give up and try again often. Heartfelt thanks for your patience and understanding.

Alle Hunde Arvo Drucken Veröffentlicht: 03. Juni 2026 Geburtsdatum: geschätzt März 2025 Geschlecht: männlich Rasse: Windhund-Mix Größe (Schulterhöhe): ca. 61cm Gewicht: 20,9kg Arvo ist mit seiner Erscheinung der Rasse Windhund zuzuordnen. Zu welcher Gruppe Windhund Arvo gehört, können wir aber nicht sagen. Arvo ist ein junger, erwachsener Hund mit wenig Lebenserfahrung. Er muss mit ins Leben genommen werden, begleitet, beschützt, aber auch gefordert werden, denn nur so kann er sich schrittweise in ein glückliches und entspanntes Familienhund-Dasein hineinarbeiten. Und was Arvo uns täglich zeigt: er möchte!!! Sogar bei uns im Tierheim lernt er täglich dazu und am leichtesten fällt es ihm, an der Seite eines Hundefreundes zu üben. In seiner Hundegruppe fühlt er sich „windhundwohl“, spielt, tobt und lässt es sich gut gehen. Er übt täglich das Spazieren gehen und entwickelt sich prächtig. Sind Sie geduldig und aktiv? Möchten Sie gemeinsam mit Arvo die Schule besuchen? Suchen Sie einen treuen Familienbegleiter fürs Leben? Dann, ja dann such Sie Arvo. Wir raten jedem Menschen und jeder Familie, die einen Hund bei sich einziehen lassen möchten, sich vorab um eine professionelle Hundeschule zu bemühen. Wir können nur so beschreiben wie wir sie hier im Tierheim- Umfeld kennenlernen. Im neuen Zuhause entwickeln sich viele Hunde neu und hier ist es unbedingt angeraten, sofort eine kompetente Beratung an seiner Seite zu haben. Möchten Sie Arvo kennenlernen?Dann rufen Sie bitte für weitere Infos und/oder für die Vergabe eines Besuchstermins im Tierheim unter der an. Günstig wäre ein Telefonat vormittags zwischen 9.00 und 12.00 Uhr und dann wieder zwischen 14.00 und 16.00 Uhr. Bitte haben Sie dafür Verständnis, wenn nicht sofort jemand ans Telefon geht, da unser Büro nicht immer besetzt ist und die Mitarbeiter meist in der Tierversorgung sind. Geben Sie also bitte nicht auf und versuchen es öfters. Herzlichen Dank für Ihre Geduld und Ihr Verständnis. Arvo

About Arvo

What life with Arvo looks like

Arvo is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Alsfeld in Germany.

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.
