Kenshi (& Luna)

Akita · Unknown

Luna and Kenshi – A bonded pair available for adoption Luna (female) aged 6.5 & Kenshi (male) aged Nearly 5 Both dogs were surrendered into a pound, the previous owner having failed to provide even the basics of animal care and veterinary attention and were on an imminent PTS list until their rescuers offered them a lifeline in the nick of time. With proper nutrition, care, veterinary treatment and neutering both dogs have turned the corner. We are advertising this delightful duo on behalf of another rescue organisation in the hopes of helping find the pair the loving home the truly deserve. What a delightful pair of dogs, they are both undemanding and soft, gentle and seek affection and bestow it upon you with a big lick. Patient at walk times, letting you harness them up without fuss even though excited about the prospect of going for a walk. Luna is a dream to walk, she doesn’t pull at all, she is so laid back, calm and collected, with a loose lead right by your side. What a good girl! Kenshi is bouncier and more energetic, he zig zags between the smells on either side of the walk, however he is still so gentle with no real pull, he soon settles down. He has a playful side and likes to play bow and pounce with Luna. Both dogs are happily interested in other dogs and people they meet, no reaction other than an increased interest in their direction and a waggy tail! Ideal Home No Cats: They have not been tested and no previous history Children aged 12+: Dog savvy children, we have no history Secure garden with robust 6ft fencing Not suitable for life in a flat. If you’re in rented accommodation, please provide proof of your landlord’s permission for a large breed dog. This is non-negotiable. Are You Luna & Kenshi’s Forever Home? They deserve a fresh start with a loving family who can offer a secure and caring home they truly deserve. If you think you can provide the life they dream of, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out and complete an application form to make Luna & Kenshi a part of your family.

About Kenshi (& Luna)

What life with Kenshi (& Luna) looks like

Kenshi (& Luna) is a large adult akita dog waiting at Akita Rescue & Welfare Trust UK in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kenshi (& Luna), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kenshi (& Luna)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Akita Rescue & Welfare Trust UK handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kenshi (& Luna) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kenshi (& Luna) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Akita Rescue & Welfare Trust UK 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Kenshi (& Luna) 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 Kenshi (& Luna) 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 Akita Rescue & Welfare Trust UK early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kenshi (& Luna) 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 (EN). 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.
