ASIYA

Kangal · Female · Adult · 7 years

Asya came to us in 2020 as a security concern from the animal shelter, as she had escaped the premises multiple times and had injured two dogs on her own. One of them sadly died from its injuries. Asya is friendly towards people. She lets herself be brushed, bathed, dried, and even enjoys being scratched. When she’s not in guard mode, she can be a little clown who can bring a lot of fun. In 2021, we gave Asya for a year to the Dog Center in Pipinsburg. At that time, we were neither capable of training Asya properly with our staff nor with our knowledge. Even with two people, it was not possible to walk her outside. She wanted to shred everything that came in her way, and the person on the leash was just a nuisance. At the Pipinsburgers, Asya really learned a lot. With competent guidance, Asya walks perfectly on the leash. She always needs clear rules and the full attention of her person. With known dogs, Asya gets along very well, whether in free run or on a walk. With unfamiliar dogs, Asya needs clear and competent guidance so she doesn’t overreact. Unguarded, i.e., without a muzzle and leash, Asya will never be able to walk outside, as this would be simply too dangerous. We are looking for a home for our pretty Kangal with a securely fenced yard (at least 2.50 or 2 meters plus overclimbing protection) with dog-experienced people who are aware of the responsibility that comes with such a dog. Asya will not be rehomed without a yard, and the new home should be very rural. We know that the chances of finding someone for Asya are practically zero, but we don’t give up hope. Asya is a really great dog who, unfortunately, was kept too isolated during the most important time.

Asya kam 2020 als Sicherstellung zu uns ins Tierheim, da sie mehrmals vom Grundstück entlaufen ist und auf ihren Alleingängen zwei Hunde verletzt hat. Einer davon ist leider an seinen Verletzungen gestorben. Dem Menschen gegenüber verhält sich Asya freundlich. Sie lässt sich bürsten, abduschen, abtrocken und auch gerne mal kraulen. Wenn sie nicht grade im Bewacher Modus ist, kann sie durchaus ein kleiner Clown sein mit dem man viel Spaß haben kann. 2021 haben wir Asya für ein Jahr in das Hundezentrum zur Pipinsburg gegeben. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt waren wir weder vom Personalstand noch vom Wissen in der Lage Asya vernünftig zu trainieren. Selbst mit 2 Personen war es damals nicht machbar sie draußen zu führen. Sie wollte alles was ihr in den Weg kam schreddern und der Mensch an der Leine war nur lästiges Anhängsel. Bei den Pipinsburgern hat Asya wirklich richtig viel gelernt. Mit kompetenter Führung läuft Asya perfekt an der Leine. Sie braucht IMMER klare Regeln und die volle Aufmerksamkeit ihres Menschen. Mit ihr bekannten Hunden ist Asya sehr gut verträglich, sei es im Freilauf oder auf dem Spaziergang. Bei fremden Hunden benötigt Asya klare und kompetente Führung damit sie nicht aus der Haut fährt. Ungesichert, d.h. ohne Maulkorb und Leine wird Asya NIE draußen laufen können, dies wäre einfach zu gefährlich. Wir suchen für unsere hübsche Kangaldame ein Zuhause mit einem hoch eingezäunten Grundstück (mindestens 2,50 oder 2 Meter + Überkletterungsschutz), bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen, die sich der Verantwortung bewusst sind, die so ein Hund mit sich bringt. Asya wird nicht in ein Zuhause ohne Grundstück vermittelt, zudem sollten das neue Zuhause sehr ländlich sein. Wir wissen, dass die Chancen quasi bei Null stehen das wir jemanden für Asya finden, aber wir geben die Hoffnung nicht auf. Asya ist eine richtig tolle, die in der wichtigsten Zeit, leider eben viel zu isoliert gehalten wurde. Der Alltag mit so einem Hund bedarf viel Management und klaren Verstand, aber vielleicht finden sich ja Menschen die sich dieser Aufgabe gewachsen fühlen. Asiya ist seit dem 29.6.2020 bei uns.Füllen Sie bitte vorab unseren Fragebogen für Interessenten aus. Ein Mitarbeiter wird sich möglichst zeitnah bei Ihnen melden.

About ASIYA

What life with ASIYA looks like

ASIYA is a extra-large adult kangal dog waiting at Tierheim Dorsten in Dorsten.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting ASIYA, answered.

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