Akim

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 4 years

AkimAkim Zurück 1von2 Vor Rasse: Labrador Mischling Geburtsjahr: 08.2022 Farbe: schwarz Geschlecht: männlich Größe: mittelgroß Kastriert: Ja Akim besticht durch seine sanfte und eher ruhige Art. Zur Zeit läuft er aber noch eher vor Menschen weg, anstatt auf sie zuzugehen. Akim ist aber durchaus gewillt an Spaziergängen, zusammen mit einem Artgenossen, teilzunehmen. Zur Zeit üben noch die Ehrenamtlichen mit Akim, damit aus dem vorsichtigen Schleichgang irgendwann mal eine freudige Spazierrunde wird. Fortschritte sind aber durchaus schon zu erkennen. Akim sucht hundeerfahrene Menschen, die mit ihm in kleinen Schritten die große weite Welt erkunden wollen. Ruhige Menschen wären für ihn optimal. Nähere Informationen zu diesem Hund?

About Akim

What life with Akim looks like

Akim is a large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierherberge Egelsbach e.V. in Egelsbach.

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 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 Akim, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Akim?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierherberge Egelsbach e.V. 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 — Tierherberge Egelsbach 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 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 Tierherberge Egelsbach e.V. 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
