Aku

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Why Aku was abandoned, we’ll probably never know. Staff at the animal shelter simply noticed that a stray dog had been hanging around near the shelter. They assumed he belonged to someone and had just run away. So they started feeding him, hoping he’d stay nearby and that someone would eventually come forward to take care of him. It was a passing neighbor who told the staff that Aku had been simply left out in the open one morning. The only positive thing about the whole situation is that it happened right in front of the animal shelter. Understandably, Aku is currently feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the entire situation: the many other dogs around, the unfamiliar surroundings, and of course, the unusual noises. But the animal shelter certainly isn’t meant to be his final destination. Just a few quick facts about the breed: Aku doesn’t tend to bark, is exceptionally intelligent, and highly adaptable to new situations. In the family, he displays a friendly and gentle nature. Generally speaking, the Bodeguero is a team player who loves to join in on his two-legged companions’ activities. And Aku, with all his loving and tender qualities, perfectly embodies these traits. At the shelter, he has absolutely no problems getting along with other dogs. So if you’re looking for a wonderful companion for life—someone who can be your loyal buddy at the office, your playmate for endless games and romps, or your hiking companion for long, leisurely walks in nature—Aku is ready for you. Are you ready for him??

Warum Aku ausgesetzt worden wir ist, werden wir wohl nie erfahren. Mitarbeiter des Tierheims bemerkten nur, dass ein herrenloser Hund sich in der Nähe des Tierheims aufhielt. Es wurde angenommen, er gehöre jemand und sei einfach nur weggelaufen. Darum wurde er gefüttert mit der Absicht, dass er in der Nähe blieb und man sich notfalls um ihn kümmern könnte. Von einem vorbeifahrenden Nachbarn erfuhren die Mitarbeiter, dass Aku morgens einfach ausgesetzt wurde. Das einzige Positive an der Angelegenheit: es war vor dem Tierheim. Verständlicherweise ist Aku mit der ganzen Situation momentan etwas überfordert: die vielen anderen Hunde, die fremde Umgebung und natürlich die ungewohnten Geräusche. Aber das Tierheim auch ja auch nicht seine Endstation sein. Kurz ein paar Fakten zu der Rasse: er neigt nicht zum Bellen, ist ausgesprochen intelligent und anpassungsfähig an neue Situationen. In der Familie zeigt er ein freundliches Wesen. Allgemein ist der Bodeguero ein Teamplayer, die gerne an den Unternehmungen seiner Zweibeiner teilhaben möchte. Und diese Voraussetzungen bringt uns liebevoller und zärtlicher Aku alle mit. Im Tierheim hat er mit seinen Artgenossen keinerlei Probleme. Wenn sie also einen hundelebenslangen tollen Begleiter für alles Lebenslagen suchen, sei es als Begleiter ins Büro, als Kumpel zum Spielen und toben, als Wegbegleiter für lange ausgedehnte Spaziergänge in der Natur suchen: Aku ist bereit für Sie. Sind Sie auch bereit für ihn??

About Aku

What life with Aku looks like

Aku is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Europa in München.

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 Aku, answered.

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