Hiro2

Akita · Male · Adult · 5 years

Hiro2 is a white Akita male born in December 2022. Hiro2 came to the foster home at the beginning of July 2026 because his sick owners are overwhelmed with him (only apartment keeping and short walks). In the foster home, Hiro2 shows himself calm, shy and reserved. He gets along well with the small dog in the foster home (Australian Labradoodle).

In der Pflegestelle zeigt sich Hiro2 ruhig, schüchtern und zurückhaltend. Mit dem kleinen Hund der Pflegstelle (Australian Labradoodle) kommt Hiro2 gut zurecht.

About Hiro2

What life with Hiro2 looks like

Hiro2 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 Hiro2, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Hiro2?
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 Hiro2 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Hiro2 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 Hiro2 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 Hiro2 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 Hiro2 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.
