Akira

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 1 month

Description: Our animal welfare advocates report that near a guesthouse in the resort town of Borsec, a mother dog raised her litter in a tree hollow. When the puppies were about 5 to 6 weeks old and began leaving the nest, they were discovered by children who played with them, carried them around, and wanted to take them home. The guesthouse owner informed us about this, and we set out to find a safe shelter for the puppies. We managed to place all eight siblings (Akira, Aida, Alex, Adam, Aldo, Andy, Alexia, and Alma2) on the property of a friend. There, they were safe and well cared for. Unfortunately, attempts to catch the mother dog herself were unsuccessful; she was found shortly afterward hit by a car on the road. Akira and her siblings have thrived under the care of their foster families. They each live in pairs in different households, together with other dogs and cats. All of them show friendly and open behavior toward fellow dogs and other animals. In their foster homes, they are treated with love and affection and are accordingly very people-oriented. Akira and her siblings are rather calm by nature—these are not dogs that run wild or push themselves into the spotlight. Of course, they do play appropriately for their age, but they also know how to settle down nicely. Akira particularly enjoys the closeness of people and their gentle petting. To continue developing positively, she urgently needs a home where routines and rituals provide a structured environment in which she can unfold her potential under guidance. The imprinting from her caring mother and the positive experiences she’s had with people create excellent conditions for Akira to grow into a friendly, social, and cooperative companion for everyday life. She is still growing and is expected to reach a medium size of around 50 cm. We hope that Akira will find people who meet her with patience and love and take on the wonderful task of accompanying and guiding her on her further journey. Who will let her into their heart, give her security, and offer her a happy future?

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: Gegenüber einer Pension im Ferienort Borsec zog eine Hundemutter in einer Baumhöhle ihren Wurf auf. Als die Welpen ca. 5 bis 6 Wochen alt waren und begannen, das Nest zu verlassen, wurden sie von Kindern entdeckt, die mit ihnen spielten, sie herumtrugen und mitnehmen wollten. Die Besitzerin der Pension informierte uns darüber, und wir suchten eine sichere Unterkunft für die Welpen. Es gelang uns, alle 8 Geschwister (Akira, Aida, Alex, Adam, Aldo, Andy, Alexia und Alma2) auf dem Gelände einer Freundin unterzubringen. Dort waren sie in Sicherheit und wurden umsorgt. Leider missglückten die Versuche, auch die Mutter der Welpen einzufangen. Sie wurde kurze Zeit später überfahren auf der Straße gefunden. Akira und ihre Geschwister haben sich in der Obhut ihrer Pflegestellen gut entwickelt. Sie leben jeweils paarweise in unterschiedlichen Familien mit anderen Hunden und Katzen zusammen. Alle zeigen sich freundlich und offen im Umgang mit Artgenossen und anderen Tieren. In ihren Pflegestellen werden sie liebevoll behandelt und sind entsprechend menschenbezogen. Akira und auch ihre Geschwister sind von ihrem Naturell eher ruhig und keine Hunde, die wild herumtoben oder sich in den Vordergrund drängen. Altersentsprechend spielen sie auch, kommen aber gut zur Ruhe. Akira genießt die Nähe von Menschen und deren Streicheleinheiten. Damit sie sich weiter positiv entwickeln kann, braucht sie zeitnah ein Zuhause, in dem ihr mit Ritualen und Routinen ein Rahmen vorgegeben wird, in dem sie ihr Potenzial unter Anleitung entfalten kann. Die Prägung durch ihre fürsorgliche Mutter und die positiven Erfahrungen mit Menschen sind sehr gute Voraussetzungen, dass sich Akira zu einer freundlichen, sozialen und kooperativen Alltagsbegleiterin entwickeln kann. Sie befindet sich noch im Wachstum und wird schätzungsweise eine mittlere Größe um die 50 cm erreichen. Wir wünschen uns für Akira, dass sie Menschen findet, die ihr mit Geduld und Liebe begegnen und die schöne Aufgabe übernehmen, sie auf ihrem weiteren Weg zu begleiten und anzuleiten. Wer lässt sie in sein Herz, gibt ihr Sicherheit und eine glückliche Zukunft?

About Akira

What life with Akira looks like

Akira is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Akira, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Akira?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierischgeholfen e.V. 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 — Tierischgeholfen 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 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 Tierischgeholfen e.V. 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.
