How do I contact the shelter about Aiki?

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

Can I adopt Aiki if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenasiel Sint-Hubertus 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 Aiki 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 Aiki 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 Dierenasiel Sint-Hubertus early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aiki 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 (NL). 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.

Adopt Aiki

Akita · Female · Young · 3 years

Aiki is a beautiful akita girl, 3 years old. She came to us after a distance because the care had become too much. Aiki is just as happy living in a run both during the day and at night with 2 other dogs. During her first 6 months of life, she was allowed to come inside but unfortunately, never again. Despite spending her entire life in the run, she is incredibly open here. Here, we got to know Aiki as a super enthusiastic and loving lady! She is everyone's friend here and other dogs are no problem for her. She walks nicely on a leash but is a bit protective on walks and unfamiliar things can sometimes be a bit scary. We do, however, see a lady who is growing quickly and doing her very best. Aiki would be content at home and no longer bites anything. She tried not to escape from the garden, the fence was about 1.80 meters high. Now, Aiki is looking for her well-deserved golden bowl. She can be tested with her own dog. She can be placed with children from 16 years and older. Aiki is now looking for a home where she CAN be 100% part of the family because that's what she deserves. Who can give our lady a beautiful warm home?

Aiki is een prachtig akita meisje van 3 jaar oud. Ze kwam bij ons terecht na afstand omdat de zorg te veel geworden was. Aiki is gewoon van zowel overdag als ’s nachts buiten in een ren te leven samen met 2 andere honden. Tijdens haar eerste 6 levensmaanden mocht ze binnenshuis komen maar daarna jammer genoeg nooit meer. Ondanks dat Aiki haar hele leven in de ren doorbracht stelt ze zich hier enorm open op. Hier mochten we Aiki leren kennen als een super enthousiaste en lieve dame! Ze is hier meteen allemansvriend en ook andere honden zijn geen probleem voor haar. Ze wandelt mooi aan de lijn maar is wel wat beschermend op wandeling en onbekende zaken zijn af en toe wat eng. We zien echter een dame die hier snel in groeit en heel erg haar best doet. Aiki zou zindelijk zijn in huis en bijt hier ook niets meer stuk. Ze probeert niet te ontsnappen uit de tuin, de omheining was +- 1m80 hoog. Nu mag Aiki op zoek naar haar verdiende gouden mandje. Ze kan getest worden met een eigen hond. Ze kan geplaatst worden bij oudere kinderen vanaf 16 jaar. Aiki gaat nu op zoek naar een thuis waar ze WEL 100% deel mag uitmaken van het gezin want dat verdient ze. Wie kan onze dame een prachtige warme thuis geven? Kennismakingen verlopen steeds op afspraak en na het invullen van onze vragenlijst via mail. Het heeft dus geen zin om zonder afspraak langs te komen alsook niet om telefonisch contact op te nemen.

About Aiki

What life with Aiki looks like

Aiki is a young adult akita dog waiting at Dierenasiel Sint-Hubertus in Aalst.

An young 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 Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.
