Ayu

Female · Young · 2 years

over: 🍀 Ayu is a breed-typical very loving and playful female dog who quickly forms a close bond with her trusted people. She is lively, cuddly, and full of energy. As a young and wild female dog, she brings a lot of joy to life and still needs some fine-tuning in her upbringing. Ayu especially enjoys taking on a task: Keeping watch over the house and property brings her great joy, and she does so with a rather loud enthusiasm. Therefore, she is not a city dog. An ideal home would be one with a large, securely fenced yard where she can move freely and burn off some energy. Would you like to meet me? Then contact this breed animal shelter and let us know what my potential new home looks like!

DE·Show original

Ayu ist eine rassetypisch sehr liebe und lustige Hündin, die zu ihren Bezugspersonen schnell eine enge Bindung aufbaut. Sie ist verspielt, verschmust und steckt voller Energie. Als junge und wilde Hündin bringt sie viel Lebensfreude mit und braucht noch etwas Feinschliff in ihrer Erziehung. Besonders gern übernimmt Ayu eine Aufgabe: Das Bewachen von Haus und Grundstück macht ihr große Freude und das auch durchaus lautstark. Daher ist sie kein Wohnungshund. Ideal wäre ein Zuhause mit großem, sicher eingezäuntem Gelände, auf dem sie sich frei bewegen und auspowern kann. Ihr wollt mich kennenlernen? Dann meldet euch im Tierheim unter und lasst uns wissen, wie mein eventuelles neues Zuhause aussieht!

About Ayu

What life with Ayu looks like

Ayu is a large young adult dog waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

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.

Note from the shelter: Needs secure fencing, not suitable for apartment living, requires training

🇩🇪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 Ayu, answered.

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