Akira

Akita · Female · Senior · 9 years

„Anhängliche Prinzessin Geburtsdatum: Februar 2017 Größe: knapp über kniehoch Mit Hunden verträglich: ja Mit Katzen verträglich: ja Kinder im selben Haushalt: möglich Zuhause gesucht: Stadtrand oder Land, mit Garten, 24/7-Menschenanwesenheit Die lebensfrohe, 2017 geborene Akita-Hündin Akira ist menschenfreundlich und kann auch zu Kindern vermittelt werden. Akira ist hundeverträglich und hat auch mit einer Katze zusammengelebt. Sie liebt Streicheleinheiten, ein bisschen Toben und Spaziergänge. Akira ist stubenrein, geht brav an der Leine, kennt die Grundkommandos und ist mit Leckerlies durchaus auch zu vielem mehr zu motivieren. Mit dem Alleinebleiben hat sie allerdings große Schwierigkeiten und heult. Für Akira suchen wir daher ein Zuhause mit Garten, wo sie nicht alleine bleiben muss und im Ernstfall immer jemand einspringen kann, der ihr Gesellschaft leistet. Da Akira eine Ausbruchskünstlerin ist, sollten die Fenster geschlossen und sie nicht unbeaufsichtigt sich selbst im Garten überlassen sein.“

About Akira

What life with Akira looks like

Akira is a medium-sized senior akita dog waiting at Wiener Tierschutzverein in Vienna.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇦🇹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; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Akira, answered.

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