Akira17

Akita · Female · Adult · 8 years

Akira17 is a rottweiler Akita mix dog (shepherd dog?/Japanese Akita) with floppy ears, born in November 2020. She stands 65 cm at the shoulder and weighs 40 kg. Akira17 is searching for a new home. Her owner had to reluctantly give her up. Akira17 has come a long way. The first three years of her life were spent with someone in a very cramped studio apartment. In 2023, she was brought to her current master. She had not been socialized or trained and was therefore initially very insecure. This has since improved, and Akira17 has attended dog training classes and has developed wonderfully.

Akira17 ist eine rotweiÃe Akita-Mix-Hündin (Schäferhund?/japanischer Akita) mit Schlappohren, geboren November 2020. Sie hat eine Schulterhöhe von 65 cm und wiegt 40 kg. Akira17 sucht eine neues Zuhause. Ihr Besitzer muss sie schweren Herzens abgeben. Akira17 hat schon einiges hinter sich gebracht. Die ersten drei Lebensjahre verbrachte sie bei jemandem in einer sehr beengten Zimmerwohnung. 2023 holte sie ihr jetziges Herrchen zu sich. Sie war weder sozialisiert noch erzogen worden und war daher anfänglich sehr unsicher. Das hat sich inzwischen gelegt, Akira17 hat die Hundeschule besucht und sich wunderbar entwickelt.

About Akira17

What life with Akira17 looks like

Akira17 is a adult akita dog waiting at slug in Kamen.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Akira17, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Akira17?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. slug handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Akira17 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Akira17 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — slug 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 Akira17 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 Akira17 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 slug early rather than rehoming privately; they know Akira17 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.
