Asena

Kangal · Female · Adult · 4 years

Asena is a four-year-old spayed Kangal female dog and a true livestock guardian dog. She is initially reserved around strangers and does not want to be touched by everyone. With patience and calmness, her trust can be gained - and then she bonds closely with her humans. In early June 2026, Asena came to us because her strong territorial behavior in a tight residential area was increasingly causing problems. She loudly reports when strangers approach her property. Therefore, we are looking for a more secluded home in the countryside for Asena, preferably a farmhouse or a larger, securely fenced property. She loves being outside and taking care of her home. Standing children and other dogs can generally be possible, but will be decided on a case-by-case basis after getting to know each other. Experienced people who respect her character and offer clear, reliable structures are sought.

DE·Show original

Asena ist eine etwa vier Jahre alte, kastrierte Kangal-Hündin und eine echte Herdenschutzhündin. Fremden begegnet sie zunächst zurückhaltend und möchte nicht von jedem angefasst werden. Mit Geduld und Ruhe lässt sich ihr Vertrauen jedoch gewinnen – und dann bindet sie sich eng an ihre Menschen. Anfang Juni 2026 kam Asena zu uns, da ihr ausgeprägtes Territorialverhalten in einer engen Wohnsiedlung zunehmend für Probleme sorgte. Sie meldet lautstark, wenn sich fremde Personen ihrem Grundstück nähern. Für Asena suchen wir deshalb ein eher abgelegenes Zuhause auf dem Land, gerne einen Resthof oder ein größeres, sicher eingezäuntes Grundstück. Sie liebt es, draußen zu sein und auf ihr Zuhause aufzupassen. Standfeste Kinder und andere Hunde können grundsätzlich möglich sein, werden jedoch nach Sympathie und bei mehreren Kennenlernterminen entschieden. Gesucht werden erfahrene Menschen, die ihren Charakter respektieren und ihr klare, verlässliche Strukturen bieten.

About Asena

What life with Asena looks like

Asena is a adult kangal dog waiting at ASPCA Friesoythe and surroundings in Saterland.

An 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 Asena, answered.

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