Honey

Akita · Female · Adult · 8 years

Honey is a rottweiss Akita dog, born in February 2019. She weighs around 28 kg and stands about 57 cm at the shoulder. Honey is neutered. Honey came from a seizure. In the past, there were already three incidents involving Honey and her partner Tommy with other dogs. As a result, there are now fines with muzzle and leash requirements outside of her own property. In July 2024, Honey came to us from another animal shelter with Tommy to the animal shelter Lüneburg. Honey is very affectionate with people and especially enjoys contact with trusted individuals, but she is also typically very independent and vigilant. She likes to go for walks, and she is very popular among the volunteer walkers.

Honey ist eine rotweiÃe Akita-Hündin, geboren Februar 2019. Sie wiegt ca. 28 kg und hat eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 57 cm. Honey ist kastriert. Honey stammt aus einer Beschlagnahme. Es gab in der Vergangenheit bereits drei BeiÃvorfälle von Honey zusammen mit ihrem Partner Tommy mit anderen Hunden. Die Folge sind Auflagen mit Maulkorb- und Leinenpflicht auÃerhalb des eigenen Grundstücks. Im Juli 2024 kam Honey zusammen mit Tommy aus einem anderen Tierheim in das Tierheim Lüneburg. Honey ist zu uns Menschen sehr lieb und freut sich besonders über Kontakt mit Bezugspersonen, sie ist dabei aber rassetypisch sehr selbstständig und wachsam. Sie geht gerne spazieren und erfreut sich unter den ehrenamtlichen Gassigängern groÃer Beliebtheit.

About Honey

What life with Honey looks like

Honey 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 Honey, answered.

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