Adopt Akita

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Like with all our partners, there are once again countless new arrivals at the Rifugio where LIDA is located in Olbia. And so, they have asked us if we could help. That we wouldn't say no, when we—albeit only through pictures—in the eyes of the dogs who so desperately want a home, is self-evident. This little senior dog had a owner, but because she was not well-treated there, she was seized and brought to the Rifugio. Akita, as the little female dog is named, is a very lovable creature, and we wish from the bottom of our hearts that she can leave the Rifugio as soon as possible. The Rifugio is overcrowded, the cramped conditions, the hectic atmosphere, and the constant high noise level are not places to lead a happy dog life. The staff is friendly to the dogs, but there is no time to give individual affection to the dogs. Would you like to give the little, friendly Akita a forever dream home with close family ties? November 8, 2025: Akita was allowed to travel to her German foster home. For the sweet Akita, life in the animal shelter is finally over. The lovable senior dog enjoys being able to call a warm, soft spot her own. She loves human affection, snuggles, and is completely open. She also showed her charm during the volunteer photoshoot with photographer Luisa Köpf. A heartfelt thank you for the great photos that captured the Akita's charm. The little female dog is far from old. She wants to experience life and follows her foster mom through her daily routine with curiosity and interest. Akita goes through life with confidence. She is a relaxed fur-nose, cheerful, and simply charming. Now, she snores quite loudly, but that only makes her more likable. Now, we are looking for a loving home for Akita where a partner for cuddles and walks is appreciated. Akita does not need the hustle and bustle anymore, which is why we prefer a quieter home without small children. If you are currently looking for a new furry family member and are aware that adoption brings not only great joy but also a lot of work and great responsibility, we look forward to your message. We provide foster care throughout Germany.

Wie bei allen unseren Partnern, so drängeln sich auch im Rifugio der LIDA in Olbia derzeit wieder zahllose Neuzugänge. Und so hat man uns angefragt, ob wir helfen könnten. Dass wir nicht nein sagen, wenn wir - wenn auch nur auf Bildern - in die Augen der Hunde blicken, die so gern ein Zuhause haben möchten, versteht sich von selbst. Diese kleine Seniorin hatte einen Besitzer, aber weil sie dort nicht gut behandelt wurde, hatte man sie beschlagnahmt und ins Rifugio gebracht. Akita, wie die kleine Hundedame heißt, ist ein ganz liebenswertes Geschöpf, und wir wünschen uns nun von ganzem Herzen, dass sie so bald wie möglich das Rifugio wieder hinter sich lassen kann. Das Rifugio übervoll, die Enge, die Hektik, der ständig hohe Lärmpegel sind kein Ort, um ein glückliches Hundeleben zu führen. Die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich zu den Hunden, aber es bleibt keine Zeit, den Hunden individuelle Zuwendung zu schenken. Möchten Sie der kleinen, freundlichen Akita das Traumzuhause für immer mit engem Familienanschluss schenken? 08. November 2025:Akita durfte auf ihren deutschen Pflegeplatz reisen. Für die süße Akita ist das Leben im Tierheim endlich vorbei. Die liebenswerte Seniorin genießt es sehr, nun ein warmes weiches Plätzchen ihr eignen nennen zu dürfen.Sie liebt die menschliche Zuwendung, kuschelt gerne und ist völlig aufgeschlossen. So zeigte sie sich auch beim ehrenamtlichen Fotoshooting mit der Fotografin Luisa Köpf. An der Stelle ein herzliches Dankeschön für die tollen Fotos, die Akitas Charme gut eingefangen haben.Die kleine Hündin gehört noch lange nicht zum alten Eisen. Sie will was erleben und begleitet neugierig und interessiert ihr Pflegefrauchen durch den Alltag. Akita geht durchaus selbstbewusst durchs Leben. Sie ist eine entspannte Fellnase, gut gelaunt und einfach nur bezaubernd. Nun, sie schnarcht ziemlich laut, aber das macht sie nur noch sympathischer.Jetzt suchen wir für Akita ein liebevolles Zuhause, in dem eine Partnerin fürs Kuscheln und Spazierengehen geschätzt wird. Lauten Trubel braucht Akita nicht mehr um sich rum, weswegen wir ein ruhigeres Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder bevorzugen würden.Wenn Sie gerade auf der Suche nach einem neuen fellnasigen Familienmitglied sind und Ihnen bewusst ist, dass eine Adoption nicht nur sehr viel Freude bereitet, sondern auch Arbeit und große Verantwortung mit sich bringt, freuen wir uns über Ihre Nachricht.Wir vermitteln bundesweit.Ihre Ansprechpartnerin für diese

About Akita

What life with Akita looks like

Akita is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at ProTier e.V. in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Akita, answered.

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