Hatschi &#8211

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Akita Inu, 10 years old, male For Hatchi, we are seeking a new, loving home through our adoption assistance program. He spent the first five years of his life as a stud dog and lived in a hut. When his previous owners no longer needed him, he was taken over by his current owner. Since then, Hatchi has lived with her in a high-rise building with an elevator. Unfortunately, his owner has since become ill and can no longer care for him adequately. Therefore, a suitable place is now being sought where Hatchi can spend his twilight years. Hatchi enjoys going for walks and loves to lie outside and observe his surroundings. He is described as a calm dog who does not tend to bark and likes children. However, Hatchi is not compatible with other males. If he is provoked by a male, he reacts with growling. Due to his breed, size, and history, we are looking for people who already have experience with large and preferably independent dog breeds like the Akita and can lead him safely. Hatchi is currently not neutered and has been recently vaccinated. He has hypothyroidism. In addition, his back occasionally gives him problems. He is currently receiving pain therapy to which he responds very well and is currently doing well. For Hatchi, we are looking for a quiet, preferably ground-level retirement home with a house and securely fenced garden, where he can lie outside and at the same time have close family ties. Due to his age and back problems, his new home should preferably have no stairs. Who would like to give this dignified senior another beautiful home and enable him to have a relaxed twilight years? Important: Hatchi is not in the Weinheim animal shelter. We only provide adoption assistance.

Akita Inu, 10 Jahre, männlich Für Hatchi suchen wir im Rahmen unserer Vermittlungshilfe ein neues, liebevolles Zuhause. Die ersten fünf Jahre seines Lebens verbrachte er als Deckrüde und lebte in einer Hütte. Als seine damaligen Besitzer ihn nicht mehr benötigten, wurde er von seiner jetzigen Besitzerin übernommen. Seitdem lebt Hatchi bei ihr in einem Hochhaus mit Fahrstuhl. Leider ist seine Besitzerin inzwischen erkrankt und kann sich nicht mehr ausreichend um ihn kümmern. Deshalb wird nun schweren Herzens ein passender Platz gesucht, an dem Hatchi seinen Lebensabend verbringen darf. Hatchi geht gerne spazieren und liebt es, draußen zu liegen und seine Umgebung zu beobachten. Er wird als ruhiger Hund beschrieben, der nicht zum Bellen neigt und Kinder mag. Mit anderen Rüden ist Hatchi allerdings nicht verträglich. Wird er von einem Rüden angepöbelt, reagiert er mit Brummen. Aufgrund seiner Rasse, seiner Größe und seiner Vorgeschichte wünschen wir uns für Hatchi daher Menschen, die bereits Erfahrung mit großen und möglichst auch mit eigenständigen Hunderassen wie dem Akita haben und ihn sicher führen können. Hatchi ist derzeit nicht kastriert und frisch geimpft. Er hat eine Schilddrüsenunterfunktion. Außerdem bereitet ihm sein Rücken gelegentlich Probleme. Aktuell erhält er deshalb eine Schmerztherapie, auf die er sehr gut anspricht und mit der es ihm momentan gut geht. Für Hatchi wünschen wir uns einen ruhigen, möglichst ebenerdigen Altersplatz mit Haus und sicher eingezäuntem Garten, wo er gerne draußen liegen kann und gleichzeitig engen Familienanschluss hat. Aufgrund seines Alters und seiner Rückenprobleme sollte sein neues Zuhause möglichst ohne viele Treppen auskommen. Wer möchte diesem stattlichen Senior noch einmal ein schönes Zuhause schenken und ihm einen entspannten Lebensabend ermöglichen? Wichtig: Hatchi befindet sich nicht im Tierheim Weinheim. Wir leisten lediglich Vermittlungshilfe. Die

About Hatschi &#8211

What life with Hatschi &#8211 looks like

Hatschi &#8211 is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Whm. u. Umg. e.V. in Weinheim.

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 Hatschi &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hatschi &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Whm. u. Umg. e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hatschi &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hatschi &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Whm. u. Umg. 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 Hatschi &#8211 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 Hatschi &#8211 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 Whm. u. Umg. e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hatschi &#8211 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.
