Katsuma

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

The beautiful American Akita female dog Katsumi is urgently seeking a new, loving home, as her previous owner can unfortunately no longer care for her. Katsumi is about 2.5 years old, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. She knows the basic commands, is sociable, playful, and overall shows herself to be a people-friendly companion. However, true to her breed, she also brings her own character – she is confident, attentive, and needs clear leadership. She is already familiar with wearing a muzzle. For Katsumi, we wish for a responsible home that meets her needs. Ideally, the following should be provided: 🏡 A fenced garden 🐕 Dog experience, preferably with more demanding breeds Enjoyment in working with, training, and teaching the dog new things 🌲 Long walks, preferably also hikes and extended forest walks Katsumi is not suitable for households with small children and small animals. Attending dog training classes is explicitly desired, as well as the willingness to maintain contact with the dog center to best support Katsumi. Katsumi is a great female dog who, with the right guidance and activity, will become a loyal and loving companion. ❤️ If you are seriously interested, we look forward to receiving a meaningful application! Anyone interested in Katsuma please contact Herr Burlager from Hundezentrum Burlager, Saterland, Klosterstr. 9 (where she is currently located) at the telephone number , or via WhatsApp. Note: All information provided comes from Herr Burlager.

Die wunderschöne American Akita Hündin Katsumi sucht dringend ein neues, liebevolles Zuhause, da sich ihr bisheriger Besitzer leider nicht mehr um sie kümmern kann. Katsumi ist etwa 2,5 Jahre alt, geimpft, entwurmt und gechippt. Sie kennt die Grundkommandos, ist verträglich, verspielt und zeigt sich insgesamt als menschenfreundliche Begleiterin. Rassetypisch bringt sie jedoch auch ihren eigenen Charakter mit – sie ist selbstbewusst, aufmerksam und braucht klare Führung. Das Tragen eines Maulkorbs ist ihr bereits vertraut. Für Katsumi wünschen wir uns ein verantwortungsbewusstes Zuhause, das ihren Bedürfnissen gerecht wird. Idealerweise sollte Folgendes gegeben sein: 🏡 Ein eingezäunter Garten 🐕 Hundeerfahrung, vorzugsweise mit anspruchsvolleren Rassen Freude daran, mit dem Hund zu arbeiten, zu trainieren und Neues beizubringen 🌲 Lange Spaziergänge, gerne auch Wanderungen und ausgedehnte Waldspaziergänge Nicht geeignet ist Katsumi für Haushalte mit Kleinkindern und Kleintieren Der Besuch einer Hundeschule wird ausdrücklich gewünscht, ebenso wie die Bereitschaft, weiterhin Kontakt zum Hundezentrum zu halten, um Katsumi bestmöglich zu unterstützen. Katsumi ist eine tolle Hündin, die mit der richtigen Führung und Auslastung eine treue und liebevolle Begleiterin wird. ❤️ Bei ernsthaftem Interesse freuen wir uns über eine aussagekräftige Bewerbung ! Wer sich für Katsuma interessiert, meldet sich bitte bei Herrn Burlager vom Hundezentrum Burlager, Saterland, Klosterstr. 9 (hier befindet sie sich derzeit) unter der Telefonnummer , gerne auch per WhatsApp Hinweis: Alle angegebenen Daten stammen von Herrn Burlager.

About Katsuma

What life with Katsuma looks like

Katsuma is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Ammerland e.V. in Westerstede.

A young 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Katsuma, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Katsuma?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Ammerland e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Katsuma on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Katsuma if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Ammerland 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Katsuma 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 Katsuma 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 Ammerland e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Katsuma 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.
