Akii

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Our little Akii was left at the shelter with his mom Aziza and his 4 brothers Olii, Elii, Arii and Obii, in July 2022. The poor little ones have not had much luck since their arrival since none of them has found a family yet, not even Aziza 😔. They arrived as puppies. Initially sociable and playful, Akii has become quite shy. He will need a gentle and patient family to gain confidence.

Notre petit Akii a été déposé au refuge avec sa maman Aziza et ses 4 frères Olii, Elii, Arii et Obii, en juillet 2022. Les pauvres loulous n’ont pas eu beaucoup de chance depuis leur arrivée puisqu’aucun d’eux n’a encore trouvé de famille, ni même Aziza 😔. Ils sont arrivés chiots. Au départ sociable et joueur, Akii est devenu fort bien timide. Il aura besoin d’une famille douce et patiente pour le mettre en confiance. Voir l’album

About Akii

What life with Akii looks like

Akii is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Refuge d in France.

An 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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Akii, answered.

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