AKIM

German Shepherd · Unknown

Akim sucht ganz dringend einen Platz. Nachdem sein Herrchen vor 3 Jahren verstorben ist, musste sein Frauchen vor kurzem in eine kleine Wohnung umziehen und wurde zudem auch gerade operiert so dass sie gar nicht mehr in der Lage ist ihn zu versorgen. Er ist aktuell noch auf einer Pflegestelle, muss dort aber bald weg. Akim ist ein hervorragender Begleiter, der gut mit anderen Menschen, Kindern und auch mit anderen Hunden zurechtkommt. Bei Katzen bricht allerdings sein Jagdinstinkt durch. Akim hat 5 Jahre lang in einem Gasthaus mit großem Hof und Garten gelebt. Daher ist er Trubel mit Menschen und anderen Hunden gewohnt – das alles hat ihm nichts ausgemacht, er ist frei umhergelaufen und brav bei Frauchen und Herrchen geblieben. Bei Interesse bitte 59 oder kontaktieren

About AKIM

What life with AKIM looks like

AKIM is a large adult german shepherd dog waiting at Tierheim Krems in Krems an der Donau.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇦🇹Adopting from Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included.

Frequently asked

Adopting AKIM, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about AKIM?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Krems handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw AKIM on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt AKIM if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Krems 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is AKIM 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 AKIM 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 Krems early rather than rehoming privately; they know AKIM 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.
