How do I contact the shelter about Hachiko B?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hachiko B on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Hachiko B if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hundepfoten Steinfurt 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 Hachiko B 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 Hachiko B 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 Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hachiko B 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.

Adopt Hachiko B

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

- waits at the animal shelter in Hungary - Hachiko – Dignified Akita Inu seeks his last chance for happiness 🧡Hachiko is a distinguished male Akita Inu dog, born in February 2015, approximately 62 cm tall and weighs 26 kg. For over a year now, he has been waiting at our shelter for his people – people who will finally provide him with the care and stability that he has missed in his previous life. His former owner barely took care of him, which is why Hachiko entered the animal shelter in poor health. He has since recovered well and shows himself to be a friendly, people-oriented dog with a calm demeanor. In dealing with fellow animals, he is tolerant and currently lives harmoniously with female dog Zuzu in the enclosure. Nevertheless, Hachiko needs people with patience, understanding of dogs, and a peaceful home where he can get accustomed to his new surroundings. Clear, loving leadership is especially important for him. With some training, structure, and lots of affection, Hachiko will certainly become a loyal and reliable companion. He leaves the animal shelter, of course, neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. We wish for this special male dog to find a home with people who understand his breed and appreciate his sensitive nature. Who will give Hachiko the chance to finally settle in? We are happy to answer further questions.

- wartet im Tierheim in Ungarn - Hachiko – Würdevoller Akita Inu sucht sein letztes Glück 🧡Hachiko ist ein stattlicher Akita Inu-Rüde, geboren im Februar 2015, etwa 62 cm groß und 26 kg schwer. Seit über einem Jahr wartet er nun im Tierheim auf seine Menschen – Menschen, die ihm endlich die Fürsorge und Stabilität schenken, die er in seinem bisherigen Leben vermisst hat. Sein Vorbesitzer kümmerte sich kaum um ihn, weshalb Hachiko in einem gesundheitlich schlechten Zustand ins Tierheim kam. Inzwischen hat er sich gut erholt und zeigt sich als freundlicher, menschenbezogener Hund mit einem ruhigen Wesen. Im Umgang mit Artgenossen ist er tolerant und lebt aktuell harmonisch mit Hündin Zuzu im Zwinger. Dennoch braucht Hachiko Menschen mit Geduld, Hundeverstand und einem ruhigen Zuhause, in dem er Zeit bekommt, sich einzugewöhnen. Eine klare, liebevolle Führung ist für ihn besonders wichtig. Mit etwas Training, Struktur und viel Zuwendung wird Hachiko mit Sicherheit ein treuer, zuverlässiger Begleiter. Er verlässt das Tierheim selbstverständlich kastriert, gechipt und geimpft. Für diesen besonderen Rüden wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die seine Rasse verstehen und sein sensibles Wesen zu schätzen wissen. Wer gibt Hachiko die Chance, endlich anzukommen? Gerne beantworten wir weitere Fragen.

About Hachiko B

What life with Hachiko B looks like

Hachiko B is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. in Nordwalde.

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.
