Akila

Mixed Breed · Female

Dogs from Recal come from a private animal shelter in Almendralejo, which is supported by many volunteers. The dogs live in small dog groups together. Akila was a street dog and came to Recal in a pitiful state. She was very thin and had many ticks in her ears. Her nature is a bit shy at first but not fearful. She needs time to build trust and is good on the leash. Akila lives at the moment with other dogs without any problems. Actually, she needs a household where it's not too hectic. Children who are a bit bigger and already have an understanding for a dog are no problem. So she is looking for a family that is patient and spends time to let her come along!

Hunde von Recal kommen aus einem privaten Tierheim in Almendralejo, dieses wird von vielen Volontären unterstützt. Die Hunde leben in kleinen Hundegruppen zusammen. Akila war ein Straßenhund und kam in einem erbärmlichen Zustand zu Recal. Sie war sehr dünn und hatte viele Zecken in den Ohren. Ihr Wesen ist etwas schüchtern am Anfang aber nicht ängstlich. Sie braucht Zeit um Vertrauen zu fassen und ist gut an der Leine zu führen. Akila lebt im Moment mit anderen Hunden problemlos zusammen. Eigentlich bräuchte sie einen Haushalt in dem es nicht zu hektisch zugeht. Kinder die etwas größer sind und schon das Verständnis für einen Hund haben, sind kein Problem. So sucht sie nach einer Familie, welche Geduld und Zeit aufbringt um sie ankommen zu lassen!

About Akila

What life with Akila looks like

Akila is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sachsen e.V. in Germany.

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 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 Akila, answered.

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