Mulan

Akita · Female · Young · 3 years

Aside from being one of the most beautiful and softest pups we've ever cared for, Mulan has continuously impressed us with how bright and trainable she is. She loves to use her brain and is particularly fond of scent training. She often has her nose to the ground, so interactive scent games and enrichment would be great fun for her. Mulan already knows some some basic commands but has so much potential for future learning, and travels well in the care so will join you on your adventures! Since she is a big girl, she can be strong on the lead so this will need some ongoing attention, and her prey drive can cause her to pull. For the right people, Mulan will make the perfect addition to the home. Meet Mulan! This gorgeous girl is truly one of a kind and is on the lookout for her forever humans. She's a super intelligent girl who would suit an active family committed to her ongoing mental and physical stimulation. Mulan is a huge lover of fuss and attention from her humans so she will need to be the only dog in the home, and any children in the home must be of late secondary school age. Whilst she wouldn't appreciate another dog in her space, Mulan loves to have doggy friends out and about would benefit from continued dog to dog socialisation with calm walking companions. She has also shown an interest in bunnies out on her walks so a home with no cats, small furries or birds would be best for her. Mulan would love to have her own secure private garden to play in, and will need someone at home with her most of the time to help her get settled.

About Mulan

What life with Mulan looks like

Mulan is a extra-large young adult akita dog waiting at Dogs Trust Salisbury in Newton Tony.

An young 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 Mulan, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mulan?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Salisbury handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mulan on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mulan if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Salisbury 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 Mulan 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 Mulan 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 Dogs Trust Salisbury early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mulan 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.
