Eddi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Eddi (born July 2025) is a young Boxer-Akita mix with lots of energy and an even bigger heart. Behind his athletic appearance is a dog that needs one thing above all: security, patience, and people he can rely on. Eddi is initially very uncertain about new situations and strangers. However, once he has gained trust, he shows himself to be a loyal companion who clings closely to his caregivers and wants to go through thick and thin with them. He seeks people who give him orientation with calmness, loving consistency, and clear structures. Eddi generally gets along well with other dogs - especially stable females give him security. He also masters walks with fellow canines without problems. Eddi is a clever and eager-to-learn dog who occasionally challenges his humans. Therefore, we are looking for experienced dog owners who enjoy working with him and can provide the necessary security. With understanding and fair leadership, Eddi will gain more trust every day. We are looking for people who may already have Akita experience or know about the character. People who can read a dog and know when play becomes a test. Someone who has time to take on this little trickster who can become huge with his caregiver and is extremely afraid of strangers. Eddi needs a rather quiet home, ideally with a well-fenced garden where he can relax and feel safe. Anyone willing to give a sensitive dog the time he needs will find in Eddi a loyal, lovable, and very special companion for life.

Eddi (geb. Juli 2025) ist ein junger Boxer-Akita-Mix mit viel Energie und einem noch größeren Herzen. Hinter seiner sportlichen Erscheinung verbirgt sich ein Hund, der vor allem eines braucht: Sicherheit, Geduld und Menschen, auf die er sich verlassen kann. Eddi ist gegenüber neuen Situationen und fremden Menschen zunächst sehr unsicher. Hat er jedoch Vertrauen gefasst, zeigt er sich als treuer Begleiter, der eng an seinen Bezugspersonen hängt und mit ihnen durch dick und dünn gehen möchte. Er sucht Menschen, die ihm mit Ruhe, liebevoller Konsequenz und klaren Strukturen Orientierung geben. Mit anderen Hunden kommt Eddi grundsätzlich gut zurecht – besonders stabile Hündinnen geben ihm Sicherheit. Auch Spaziergänge mit Artgenossen meistert er in der Regel problemlos. Eddi ist ein kluger und lernfreudiger Hund, der seine Menschen durchaus auch einmal hinterfragt. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für ihn hundeerfahrene Halter, die Freude daran haben, mit ihm weiterzuarbeiten und ihm die nötige Sicherheit vermitteln können. Mit Verständnis und einer fairen Führung wird Eddi jeden Tag ein Stück mehr Vertrauen gewinnen. Wir suchen für Eddi Menschen, die vielleicht schon Akita erfahren sind oder sich mit dem Charakter auskennen. Menschen die einen Hund lesen können und wissen wann aus dem Spiel ein Test wird. Jemand der Zeit hat hat sich diesen kleinen Kasper anzunehmen der mit seiner Bezugsperson ganz groß sein kann und vor jeden Fremden eine Riesen Angst hat. Es Eddi braucht ein eher ruhiges Zuhause, idealerweise mit einem gut eingezäunten Garten, in dem er zur Ruhe kommen und sich sicher fühlen kann. Wer bereit ist, einem sensiblen Hund die Zeit zu geben, die er braucht, wird in Eddi einen loyalen, liebenswerten und ganz besonderen Begleiter fürs Leben finden.

About Eddi

What life with Eddi looks like

Eddi is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Trier und Umgebung e.V. in Germany.

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 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 Eddi, answered.

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