Adopt OSAMU

Akita · Male · Adult · 8 years

OSAMU is a magnificent Akita Inu of 8 years, arrived at the shelter following an investigation into unsanitary living conditions. Despite his past, this sweet pup maintains an incredible trust in humans. Very close to people, OSAMU is a calm, composed, and affectionate dog. Inside, he is clean, well-behaved, and simply appreciates the presence of those around him. He is a soothing, tender, and endearing companion. OSAMU must be the only dog in the household to fully flourish and enjoy his new life in peace. However, he seems to tolerate cats. He can live with children, provided they respect his space and needs. Today, OSAMU deserves to finally discover the gentleness of a real home, filled with kindness and love.

Osamu est un magnifique Akita Inu de 8 ans, arrivé au refuge suite à une enquête pour conditions de vie insalubres. Malgré son passé, ce doux loulou garde une confiance incroyable envers l’humain. Très proche des personnes, Osamu est un chien calme, posé et affectueux. En intérieur, il se montre propre, sage et apprécie simplement la présence de ceux qui l’entourent. C’est un compagnon apaisant, tendre et attachant. Osamu devra être le seul chien du foyer afin de s’épanouir pleinement et de profiter sereinement de sa nouvelle vie. Il semble toutefois tolérer les chats. Il pourra vivre avec des enfants, à condition que ceux-ci soient respectueux de son espace et de ses besoins. Aujourd’hui, Osamu mérite enfin de découvrir la douceur d’un vrai foyer, rempli de bienveillance et d’amour.

About OSAMU

What life with OSAMU looks like

OSAMU is a adult akita dog waiting at SPA Chilleurs-aux-Bois in Chilleurs.

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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting OSAMU, answered.

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