Hund Ashton

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Senior Ashton is a special case due to his age and needs people who understand that an old dog has special needs. He loves cuddling with his humans and just being there. Despite his high age, he still enjoys small, leisurely walks. Unfortunately, due to his age and age-related limitations, he is no longer fully reliable in terms of house training. Therefore, he needs frequent and regular walks and people who are patient and understanding about this. The male is generally friendly with other dogs, but they are more or less indifferent to him. We know that a 15-year-old dog with age-related issues is not necessarily what many people are looking for. But that's exactly why we hope that Ashton can experience what it's like to be loved, cared for, and welcomed again. We are looking for people who do not have high expectations from him anymore, but simply give him security, patience, and love. A quiet household where he can enjoy his twilight years would be a great blessing for him. Maybe there is someone out there who says: "You are old and have not had an easy life - but with me you can still spend some protected months or more. Because even an old dog deserves to spend his twilight years in love and dignity.

Pflegestelle oder Endstelle gesucht – Senior Ashton ist altersbedingt schon etwas speziell und braucht Menschen, die Verständnis dafür haben, dass ein alter Hund besondere Bedürfnisse mitbringt. Er liebt es, mit seinen Menschen zu schmusen und einfach dabei sein zu dürfen. Trotz seines hohen Alters freut er sich auch noch über kleinere, gemütliche Spaziergänge. Aufgrund seines Alters und seiner altersbedingten Einschränkungen ist er leider nicht mehr ganz zuverlässig stubenrein. Deshalb benötigt er häufige und regelmäßige Spaziergänge und Menschen, die damit geduldig und verständnisvoll umgehen. Mit anderen Hunden ist der Rüde grundsätzlich freundlich, sie sind ihm aber eher egal. Wir wissen, dass ein 15-jähriger Hund mit altersbedingten Baustellen nicht unbedingt das ist, wonach viele Menschen suchen. Aber genau deshalb hoffen wir umso mehr, dass Ashton noch einmal erfahren darf, wie es ist, geliebt, umsorgt und willkommen zu sein. Wir suchen für ihn Menschen, die keine großen Erwartungen mehr an ihn stellen, sondern ihm einfach Geborgenheit, Geduld und Liebe schenken. Ein ruhiger Haushalt, in dem er seinen Lebensabend genießen darf, wäre für ihn ein großes Glück. Vielleicht gibt es da draußen genau den einen Menschen, der sagt: „Du bist alt und hast es bisher nicht leicht gehabt – aber bei mir darfst du noch einige behütete Monate oder mehr bleiben. Denn auch ein alter Hund verdient es, seinen Lebensabend in Liebe und Würde verbringen zu dürfen.

About Hund Ashton

What life with Hund Ashton looks like

Hund Ashton is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Hof in Hof.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Hund Ashton, answered.

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