Edgar

Akita · Male · Adult · 7 years

Fundhund, geboren ca. 2019 Rüde, unkastriert geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt Für unseren Edgar wünschen wir uns in jedem Fall Bulldoggenerfahrene Menschen, ohne Kinder. Typisch Bulldogge geht er mit dem Kopf durch die Wand, daher sollte man auch Kraft und Geduld haben, diesen Kerl souverän zu erziehen. Sonst ist Edgar ein sehr freundlicher Hund, er scheint in seinem Leben nicht viel kennengelernt zu haben, daher ist er in vielerlei Hinsicht ein recht unsicherer Hund. Er freut sich, Menschen kennen zu lernen, die ihm die Welt zeigen.

About Edgar

What life with Edgar looks like

Edgar is a adult akita dog waiting at Tierheim Eisenberg / Tierschutzverein Saale-Holzland-Kreis in Germany.

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 Edgar, answered.

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