Adopt Ketty

Akita · Female · Adult · 4 years

This is a private rehoming assistance. Contact is made through the association via the contact form below. The beautiful female dog Ketty (4 years) is looking for a new, loving home with experienced dog people. She is an American Akita, vaccinated and microchipped, but not neutered. Ketty is a very cuddly and people-oriented female dog who is also open and friendly towards strangers. She greatly enjoys the closeness of her trusted people and forms a strong bond with "her" humans. In everyday life, she is uncomplicated: she is house-trained, can be left alone for longer periods, and walks well on a leash. She also knows basic commands. Due to her strong prey drive, there should be no other animals in the new home – neither cats nor small pets. Other dogs should also not be present. Therefore, Ketty must always be walked on a leash outside. An enclosed garden or yard would be ideal for her, but it is not a mandatory requirement as long as adequate exercise and mental stimulation are provided. Children in the household should be steady on their feet and older due to her size and sometimes enthusiastically affectionate nature. As American Akitas are not beginner dogs, Ketty will only be rehomed to experienced dog owners who can provide appropriate physical and mental activity. Ketty will only be rehomed for an adoption fee. If you are interested, please fill out the contact form below, and we will then connect you with the owner. Please briefly introduce yourself in the contact form.

Dies ist eine Vermittlungshilfe für privat. Die Kontaktaufnahme erfolgt über den Verein über untenstehendes Kontaktformular. Die wunderschöne Hündin Ketty (4 Jahre) sucht ein neues, liebevolles Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen. Sie ist ein American Akita, geimpft und gechipt, aber nicht kastriert. Ketty ist eine sehr verschmuste und menschenbezogene Hündin, die auch Fremden gegenüber offen und freundlich auftritt. Sie genießt die Nähe zu ihren Bezugspersonen sehr und bindet sich eng an „ihre“ Menschen. Im Alltag zeigt sie sich unkompliziert: Sie ist stubenrein, kann auch über längere Zeit alleine bleiben und läuft gut an der Leine. Die Grundkommandos beherrscht sie ebenfalls. Aufgrund ihres ausgeprägten Jagdtriebs sollten im neuen Zuhause keine anderen Tiere vorhanden sein – weder Katzen noch Kleintiere. Auch andere Hunde sollten nicht vorhanden sein. Draußen muss Ketty daher immer an der Leine geführt werden. Ein eingezäunter Garten oder Hof wäre für sie ideal, ist aber keine zwingende Voraussetzung, solange ausreichend Bewegung und Beschäftigung gewährleistet sind. Kinder im Haushalt sollten aufgrund ihrer Größe und ihrer manchmal freundlich-stürmischen Art bereits standfest und älter sein. Da American Akitas keine Anfängerhunde sind, wird Ketty ausschließlich an erfahrene Hundehalter vermittelt, die sie körperlich wie geistig entsprechend auslasten können. Ketty wird nur gegen Schutzgebühr vermittelt. Bei Interesse füllen Sie bitte untenstehendes Kontaktformular aus, wir stellen dann den Kontakt zur Besitzerin her. Bitte stellen Sie sich im Kontaktformular kurz vor.

About Ketty

What life with Ketty looks like

Ketty is a adult akita dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Tauberbischofsheim und Umgebung e.V. in Würzburg.

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 Ketty, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ketty?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Tauberbischofsheim und Umgebung e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ketty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ketty if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Tauberbischofsheim und Umgebung 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Ketty 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 Ketty 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 Tauberbischofsheim und Umgebung e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ketty 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.
