How do I contact the shelter about Sam6?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. slug handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sam6 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Sam6 if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — slug 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 Sam6 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 Sam6 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 slug early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sam6 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.

Sam6

Akita · Male · Adult · 8 years

Sam6 is a white and brown pinto Akita mix (a mix between American and Japanese Akita, Mother: American Akita, Father: Akita), born in March 2019. Sam6 weighs around 36 kg and has a shoulder height of around 65 cm. Sam6 is looking for a new home because he no longer gets along with the family's small daughter. Due to pain (joint inflammation), there was an incident with the little girl. Since then, Sam6's behavior has changed. The illness has since healed, and Sam6 takes daily thyroid tablets (monthly cost around 25 â¬). Unfortunately, since then, Sam6 can no longer tolerate children, so he is kept apart from the little girl. Sam6 is actually a friendly dog, sometimes independent and stubborn. Sam6 is a quiet and watchful dog in his own home. Occasionally, he enjoys snuggling with his primary caregiver. Sam6 needs his personal space. He is happy to participate in training and play sessions. He loves to show off tricks for treats. Sam6 is currently in training because he still has issues with dog encounters. Therefore, he wears a muzzle for safety, with which he gets along well. This animal is not suitable for homes with children.

Sam6 ist ein weiÃbrauner pinto Akita-RÃ¼de (Mix aus Amerikanischem / Japanischem Akita, Mutter: American Akita, Vater: Akita), geboren MÃ¤rz 2019. Sam6 wiegt ca. 36 kg und hat eine SchulterhÃ¶he von ca. 65 cm. Sam6 sucht ein neues Zuhause, weil er mit der kleinen Tochter der Familie nicht mehr zurecht kommt. Durch Schmerzen (KnochenhautentzÃ¼ndung) kam es zu einem BeiÃvorfall mit dem kleinen MÃ¤dchen. Seitdem verÃ¤nderte sich Sam6s Verhalten. Inzwischen ist die Erkrankung geheilt und Sam6 bekommt tÃ¤glich SchilddrÃ¼sentabletten (monatliche Kosten ca 25 â¬). Leider kann Sam6 seitdem keine Kinder mehr leiden, deshalb wird er von der kleinen Tochter getrennt gehalten. Sam6 ist eigentlich ein freundlicher Hund, manchmal eigenwillig und stur. Sam6 ist im eigenen Zuhause ein ruhiger und wachsamer Hund. Zwischendurch liebt er es mit seiner Bezugsperson zu kuscheln. Sam6 braucht seine Individualdistanz. Er lÃ¤sst sich gerne auf Training und Spieleinheiten ein. Er liebt es fÃ¼r Leckerchen Tricks vorzumachen und zu Ã¼ben. Sam6 befindet sich aktuell im Training, da er noch Probleme mit Hundebegegnungen hat. Er trÃ¤gt deshalb zur Sicherheit einen Maulkorb, mit dem er gut zurecht kommt.

About Sam6

What life with Sam6 looks like

Sam6 is a adult akita dog waiting at slug in Kamen.

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.
