How do I contact the shelter about Akira?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Nothunde La Mancha 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 — Nothunde La Mancha 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 Nothunde La Mancha 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.

Adopt Akira

Podenco · Female · Young · 3 years

Breed: Podenco-Mix. Gender: female. Born around February 2023. Shoulder height: 42 cm. Compatible with dogs: yes. Compatible with children: not yet tested. Compatible with cats: not yet tested Akira - shy gold piece Akira is one of countless victims of the hunt. Discarded because she was no longer useful, and left to die in the nowhere. She managed to make her way to Villamalea. There, she wandered around the outskirts of the town, always searching for shelter and food. Thankfully, the Animaleas were able to secure a place for Akira. Physically, the loving female dog has since recovered, but she is still very mistrustful of people. Clearly, she has experienced something terrible. She gets along well with other dogs. That's why we believe that having a dog already in her new home could help her settle in. Do you want to give Akira a loving home, a cozy bed, and perhaps even a spot on your sofa? You know that she needs to build up courage and also has a lot to learn, and you are ready to work with her, investing time and patience? Great!

Rasse: Podenco-Mix. Geschlecht: weiblich. Geboren ca. Februar 2023Schulterhöhe: 42 cm. Verträglich mit Hunden: ja. Verträglich mit Kindern: noch nicht getestet. Verträglich mit Katzen: noch nicht getestet Akira - schüchternes GoldstückAkira ist eines von zahllosen Opfern der Jagd. Aussortiert, weil sie nicht mehr nützlich war, und im Nirgendwo zum Sterben zurückgelassen. Sie hat es geschafft, sich bis nach Villamalea durchzuschlagen. Dort irrte sie am Ortsrand umher, immer auf der Suche nach Schutz und Futter. Zum Glück gibt es die Animaleas, die Akira sichern konnten. Körperlich hat sich die liebe Hündin inzwischen erholt, doch sie ist Menschen gegenüber noch immer sehr misstrauisch. Offensichtlich hat sie Schlimmes erlebt.Mit anderen Hunden versteht sie sich bestens. Deshalb glauben wir, dass ihr ein Hund, der bereits in ihrem neuen Zuhause wohnt, helfen könnte, sich zurechtzufinden. Du möchtest Akira ein liebevolles Zuhause, ein kuscheliges Bett und vielleicht sogar einen Platz auf Deinem Sofa schenken? Du weißt, dass sie erst einmal Mut fassen und außerdem viel lernen muss, und du bist bereit, mit ihr zu arbeiten und Zeit und Geduld zu investieren? Großartig! Fülle am besten gleich die Selbstauskunft aus. Wir setzen uns dann mit Dir in Verbindung.

About Akira

What life with Akira looks like

Akira is a large young adult podenco dog waiting at Nothunde La Mancha e.V. in Lindlar.

An 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
