Adopt AKIRO

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

AKIRO is a wonderful dog who came from the pound with his companion Akira. He is very friendly with people, energetic and always happy! He will need good mental and physical exercise to feel good. AKIRO can live with respectful children who are not afraid of dogs that can be a bit rough. We do not know his relationships with cats, but tests can be done at the shelter. AKIRO has difficulty with other animals of the same species but he is still very young and we have no doubt that with proper work, he can quickly become social. AKIRO can live in a house or an apartment.

Akiro est un chouette chien qui nous vient de fourrière avec sa comparse Akira. Il se montre très avenant avec les humains, dynamique et toujours content ! Il aura besoin de bonnes dépenses mentales et physiques pour se sentir bien dans ses pattes. Akiro pourra vivre avec des enfants respectueux et qui n'ont pas peur des chiens un peu brusques. Nous ne connaissons pas ses ententes avec les chats mais des tests pourront être effectués au refuge. Akiro a du mal avec ses congénères mais il est encore très jeune et nous ne doutons pas qu'avec un travail adapté, il pourra rapidement devenir sociable. Akiro pourra vivre en maison ou en appartement.

About AKIRO

What life with AKIRO looks like

AKIRO is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Rennes in Rennes.

An young 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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting AKIRO, answered.

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