Akira

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Akira is a gentle giant with a soft soul, ready for a new beginning! 🍀 Akira - Gentle giant beauty with polka-dot charm: Affectionate dream dog seeks her first real home. The beautiful Akira is waiting in the city animal shelter for her discovery! Born in August 2025, the young dog has spent almost her entire life behind bars - she moved into the shelter as a small puppy in October 2025. She now hopes for a future in security with loving people. Visually, Akira is a stately and beautiful appearance: Her white short coat is covered with elegant black speckles and spots, paired with an expressive dark marking on her face. With her weight of about 25-30 kg and a shoulder height of about 55-60 cm, she is an imposing, large dog with a gentle nature. Characteristically, Akira is a real heartbreaker: She is extremely friendly to people and enjoys petting in full measure - often she throws herself on her back in joy to let her belly be stroked. In new situations, she sometimes shows a bit of shyness. She is familiar with and accepts walking on a leash so far; leash pressure currently still unsettles her, which is why she needs an empathetic and patient training here. Akira gets along with her fellow dogs - in everyday life in the shelter she shows herself to be fully social, tolerant and uncomplicated with other dogs. Akira travels to her new home vaccinated, chipped, spayed and with an EU pet passport after a positive preliminary check. Very friendly, affectionate, enjoys attention, initially a bit shy ✓ A home with a garden ✓ Experienced dog people ✓ Gladly to another dog ✓ Wants to live rurally - No cats in the household - No children in the household - No urban environment We do not know anything about Akira's background. Help Akira find a home - share this with your friends ❤️

Stattliche Erscheinung mit sanfter Seele – AKIRA ist bereit für ihren Neuanfang! 🍀 AKIRA – Sanfte Riesen-Schönheit mit Pünktchen-Charme: Verschmuste Traumhündin sucht ihr erstes echtes Zuhause Die bildhübsche AKIRA wartet im städtischen Tierheim auf ihre Entdeckung! Geboren im August 2025 hat die junge Hündin fast ihr gesamtes bisheriges Leben hinter Zwingerstäben verbracht – sie zog bereits im Oktober 2025 als kleines Welpenmädchen im Shelter ein. Umso mehr hofft sie nun auf eine Zukunft in Geborgenheit bei liebevollen Menschen. Optisch ist AKIRA eine stattliche und wunderschöne Erscheinung: Ihr weißes Kurzhaarfell ist über und über mit eleganten schwarzen Sprenkeln und Flecken übersät, gepaart mit einer ausdrucksstarken dunklen Zeichnung im Gesicht. Mit ihren ca. 25–30 kg Gewicht und einer Schulterhöhe von etwa 55–60 cm ist sie eine imposante, große Hündin mit sanftem Gemüt. Charakterlich ist AKIRA ein richtiger Herzensbrecher: Menschen gegenüber zeigt sie sich überaus freundlich und genießt Streicheleinheiten in vollen Zügen – oft wirft sie sich vor Freude direkt auf den Rücken, um sich den Bauch kraulen zu lassen. In neuen Situationen zeigt sie sich manchmal noch etwas schüchtern. Das Gehen an der Leine kennt und akzeptiert sie bisher noch nicht; Leinendruck verunsichert sie aktuell noch, weshalb sie hier ein einfühlsames und geduldiges Training benötigt. Mit ihren Artgenossen versteht sich AKIRA blendend – im Alltag im Shelter zeigt sie sich rundum sozial, verträglich und unkompliziert mit anderen Hunden. AKIRA reist nach positiver Vorkontrolle geimpft, gechippt, kastriert und mit EU-Heimtierausweis in ihr neues Zuhause. Sehr freundlich, verschmust, genießt Zuwendung, anfangs etwas schüchtern ✓ Ein Zuhause mit Garten ✓ Erfahrene Hundemenschen ✓ Gerne zu einem weiteren Hund ✓ Möchte ländlich leben - Keine Katzen im Haushalt - Keine Kinder im Haushalt - Kein städtisches Umfeld Über die Vorgeschichte von AKIRA wissen wir nichts. Hilf Akira, ein Zuhause zu finden - teile dies mit deinen Freunden ❤️

About Akira

What life with Akira looks like

Akira is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG in Germany.

A young 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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 — Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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 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 Hundsrücker Tierschutz gUG 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.
