Hatschi8

Akita · Male · Adult · 5 years

Hatschi8 is a black-gray American Akita dog, born in April 2019. Hatschi8 weighs around 45 kg and stands at a shoulder height of 65-70 cm. Hatschi8 came to the animal shelter Berlin in January 2022 under dramatic circumstances. In the owner's apartment, there was an accident involving her partner. The owner was then afraid of him, locked him in a room in the apartment, and called the police. The police were unable to secure him and wanted to shoot him. Animal control arrived and were able to secure him with two steel collars. Hatschi had a deep trauma from it and was not handled or touched in the neck area for almost a year.

About Hatschi8

What life with Hatschi8 looks like

Hatschi8 is a adult akita dog waiting at slug in Kamen.

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 Hatschi8, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hatschi8?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. slug handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Hatschi8 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hatschi8 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — slug 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 Hatschi8 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 Hatschi8 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 slug early rather than rehoming privately; they know Hatschi8 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.
