Akani

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Akani – a big heart on four paws ❤️! Akani is a large dog with a heart of gold. She is a friendly, people-oriented and loving dog who is perfect for a family. She is about 45 cm tall and is a good match for single or second dogs. She is suitable for a suburban or rural environment. She is a good match for ambitious dog owners who are new to dog ownership. Akani was abandoned in a small village and we do not know why no one wanted to take care of her anymore. But she has kept her openness and her love for people. Her beautiful name is of South African origin and means "build" or "create", also in the sense of "building something together". How fitting for a dog who is now waiting to build a new life with her future owners! Akani is a friendly, people-oriented and loving dog who is perfect for a family. She is especially enthusiastic about children, whom she greets openly and warmly. Of course, the little two-legged ones should also know how to treat dogs with respect. We suspect that Akani is a herding dog mix. Therefore, her future owners should also deal with the possible breed-specific predispositions. Herding dogs are often considered intelligent, attentive and hardworking and need physical exercise as well as meaningful mental stimulation. It is also important to give them enough rest and not to overwork them. We wish Akani a loving home, preferably in a rural or suburban area. People who enjoy spending time together, who can teach her the basics of dog ownership with patience and love, and who want to include her as a full member of their family would be just the right thing. Our Akani already brings a lot of love with her. Now she just needs the people with whom she can build her future. Are you interested in adopting Akani? (Click here)

Unsere Akani gehört definitiv dazu! Die etwa einjährige Mischlingshündin wurde in einem kleinen Dorf einfach zurückgelassen. Warum niemand mehr für sie sorgen wollte, wissen wir nicht. Umso schöner ist es, dass Akani sich ihre Offenheit und ihre Liebe zu den Menschen bewahrt hat. Ihr wunderschöner Name wird mit dem südafrikanischen Sprachraum in Verbindung gebracht und bedeutet sinngemäß „bauen“ oder „erschaffen“, auch im Sinne von „gemeinsam etwas aufbauen“. Wie passend für eine Hündin, die nun darauf wartet, sich gemeinsam mit ihren zukünftigen Menschen ein neues Leben aufzubauen! Akani ist eine ausgesprochen freundliche, menschenbezogene und liebevolle Hündin, die beste Voraussetzungen für ein wunderbares Familienmitglied mitbringt. Besonders schön ist ihre Begeisterung für Kinder, denen sie offen und herzlich begegnet. Natürlich sollten auch die kleinen Zweibeiner einen respektvollen Umgang mit Hunden kennen. Vermutlich steckt in Akani ein Hütehundmischling. Deshalb sollten sich ihre zukünftigen Menschen auch mit den möglichen rassetypischen Veranlagungen auseinandersetzen. Hütehunde gelten häufig als intelligent, aufmerksam und arbeitsfreudig und benötigen neben körperlicher Bewegung auch eine sinnvolle geistige Beschäftigung. Ebenso wichtig ist es, ihnen ausreichend Ruhe zu ermöglichen und sie nicht ständig zu beschäftigen. Für Akani wünschen wir uns ein liebevolles Zuhause, vorzugsweise in einer eher ländlichen Umgebung oder am Stadtrand. Menschen, die Freude an gemeinsamen Unternehmungen haben, ihr mit Geduld und liebevoller Konsequenz das Hunde-Einmaleins vermitteln und sie als vollwertiges Familienmitglied in ihr Leben aufnehmen möchten, wären genau das Richtige. Unsere Akani bringt bereits jede Menge Liebe mit. Jetzt fehlen ihr nur noch die Menschen, mit denen sie gemeinsam ihre Zukunft aufbauen darf. .fusion-body .fusion-button Interesse an einer Adoption?

About Akani

What life with Akani looks like

Akani is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Nordic Strays e.V. in Germany.

A 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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Akani, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Akani?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Nordic Strays e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Akani on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Akani if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Nordic Strays e.V. whether they will for Akani, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Akani already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Nordic Strays e.V. lists Akani as vaccinated and microchipped. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Nordic Strays e.V., so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Akani isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Nordic Strays e.V. about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Akani 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.
