How do I contact the shelter about Asta?

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

Can I adopt Asta if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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 Asta 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 Asta 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 Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG early rather than rehoming privately; they know Asta 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.

Asta

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Asta – Brave dog momma seeks her great happiness after a difficult fate 🍀 ASTA – Brave Dog Momma Seeks Her Great Happiness After A Difficult Fate 🍀 Asta, the beautiful female dog, has a deeply moving story that shows how cruel life can be – and how infinitely strong a dog’s will to survive is. Born in 2023, the brave lady dog is currently around 3 years old and at her best age. She has had her youth behind her and brings an incredibly loyal and open heart despite everything she has experienced. Her start in life was a single fight: Asta was rescued from a killing station in Daeni along with her newborn puppies. At that time, she was completely exhausted and completely emaciated – literally just skin and bones. The animal protectors did everything to save the little family. But unfortunately, help came too late for Asta’s babies; the little ones were already too weak and all died. Asta remained alone, but bravely survived the grief and hard withdrawal and has been fighting her way back into life every day since then. With a shoulder height of about 54 cm, Asta belongs to the elegant, medium-sized to larger female dogs. Optically she is an absolute beauty: Her fur shows a fascinating dark streak (brindle), combined with a dark mask and a characteristic white blaze on her nose. You can still see the hardships of the past, but with every day in the shelter she gains strength and charisma. Her character is a true miracle despite the suffering endured: Asta is an incredibly loving and good-natured dog. She has not lost her trust in humans and longs for affection. In dealing with other dogs, she shows herself to be absolutely social and tolerant – she fits seamlessly into the dog group and does not seek conflict. Of course, she still needs to learn the dog basics, but she will thank her rescuers for a new life with lifelong loyalty. For this brave soul, we are looking for people with a big heart who give Asta the security, love and safety that she has sorely missed in her previous life. friendly, tolerant, gentle ✓ Gladly to another dog ✓ Wants to live rural - No small children in the household - No urban environment We rescued Asta completely emaciated from the killing station in Daeni along with her puppies. Unfortunately, none of her puppies survived. Help Asta find a home – share this with your friends ❤️

Sinnbild der Tapferkeit & treue Begleiterin für einen Neuanfang voll Liebe 🍀 ASTA – Tapfere Hundemama sucht nach schwerem Schicksalsschlag ihr großes Glück Die wunderschöne Hündin ASTA hat eine zutiefst bewegende Geschichte, die zeigt, wie grausam das Leben sein kann – und wie unendlich stark der Überlebenswille eines Hundes ist. Geboren im Jahr 2023 befindet sich die brave Hundedame mit ihren aktuell rund 3 Jahren im besten Alter. Sie hat ihre Jugendzeit hinter sich und bringt trotz allem Erlebten ein unheimlich treues und offenes Herz mit. Ihr Start ins Leben war ein einziger Kampf: ASTA wurde zusammen mit ihren neugeborenen Welpen aus einer Tötungsstation in Daeni gerettet. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war sie völlig entkräftet und komplett abgemagert – buchstäblich nur noch Haut und Knochen. Die Tierschützer taten alles, um die kleine Familie zu retten. Doch für ASTAs Babys kam leider jede Hilfe zu spät; die Kleinen waren bereits zu schwach und sind alle verstorben. ASTA blieb alleine zurück, hat die Trauer und den harten Entzug jedoch mutig überstanden und kämpft sich seither Tag für Tag zurück ins Leben. Mit einer Schulterhöhe von etwa 54 cm gehört ASTA zu den eleganten, mittelgroßen bis größeren Hündinnen. Optisch ist sie eine absolute Schönheit: Ihr Fell zeigt eine faszinierende, dunkle Stromung (Brindle), kombiniert mit einer dunklen Maske und einer charakteristischen weißen Blesse auf ihrer Nase. Man sieht ihr die Strapazen der Vergangenheit zwar noch etwas an, aber mit jedem Tag im Shelter gewinnt sie an Kraft und Ausstrahlung. Ihr Charakter ist trotz der erlittenen Qualen ein wahres Wunder: ASTA ist eine unheimlich liebe und gutmütige Hündin. Sie hat ihr Vertrauen in den Menschen nicht verloren und sehnt sich nach Zuwendung. Im Umgang mit anderen Hunden zeigt sie sich absolut sozial und verträglich – sie fügt sich problemlos in die Hundegruppe ein und sucht keinen Streit. Sie muss das Hunde-Einmaleins natürlich noch lernen, aber sie wird ihren Rettern die Chance auf ein neues Leben mit lebenslanger Treue danken. Für diese tapfere Seele suchen wir Menschen mit einem großen Herzen, die ASTA die Geborgenheit, Liebe und Sicherheit schenken, die sie in ihrem bisherigen Leben so schmerzlich vermisst hat. freundlich, verträglich, sanft ✓ Gerne zu einem weiteren Hund ✓ Möchte ländlich leben - Keine kleinen Kinder im Haushalt - Kein städtisches Umfeld ASTA haben wir zusammen mit ihren Welpen komplett abgemagert aus der Tötung in Daeni gerettet. Leider hat keines ihrer Welpen überlebt. Hilf Asta, ein Zuhause zu finden - teile dies mit deinen Freunden ❤️

About Asta

What life with Asta looks like

Asta is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG in Germany.

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.
