Mia (2)

Akita · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Mia is a stunning 6 year old female looking for a new family. She is gentle, affectionate and loves being the centre of attention. Due to her owners relocating, the beautiful girl is searching for a loving, experienced forever home where she can enjoy a happy and settled life. Mia walks well on the lead and enjoys playtime therefore she needs a home with a garden where she can play. She would also prefer to be the only dog in the home. At six years old, she is past the puppy stage and would suit someone looking for a loyal companion with a calmer, more mature personality. She has plenty of character and, like many Akitas, will benefit from an owner who understands the breed and is willing to build a strong relationship based on trust, patience and consistency. She deserves a home where her individual personality can shine and where her new family can give her the time and attention she needs to settle in and feel secure. She is not suited to life in a flat and needs a home with a garden she can play in safely. What she is looking for A loving and committed forever home Owners with an understanding of Akitas or similar large breeds A calm, stable environment Someone willing to give her time to settle and build trust Regular exercise and mental stimulation A family committed to caring for her throughout her senior years A home with a garden and 6ft robust fencing Could you be the person who gives this beautiful girl the loving home she deserves? If you think you could offer her the loving, permanent home she is looking for, please get in touch to find out more about her and the adoption process.

About Mia (2)

What life with Mia (2) looks like

Mia (2) 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 Mia (2), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mia (2)?
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 Mia (2) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mia (2) 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 Mia (2) 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 Mia (2) 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 Mia (2) 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.
