Sky

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Sky is an 8yr year old Akita in the care of Friends of Akitas in Nottingham and whilst she is coming up to 9 yrs of age, she is such a sprightly girl that has no wish to slow down any time soon ! She is an active and energetic girl who would thrive with similar minded humans who are able to spend time with her and give her the love she deserves. Sky is a bundle of joy, very bright and loves to learn new things. She loves her walks so much and gets a little excited at the thought of a trip out, and can pull a little on her lead, but with a little training and patience this will settle down. Sky prefers gentle handling and can be a little insecure at times when it comes to being touched and appreciates a gentle and calm approach so she can learn to trust you and feel reassured. Once she feels comfortable she is a sweet and wonderful girl that wants nothing more than to be by your side. Sky would like to be the only dog in the home and to live alongside adults that can respect her boundaries and sensitive nature. She will make the most wonderful and loyal friend that will enjoy both energetic walks and quite moments with her new family. ————————————————————– If you want to find out more about this lovely girl and/or could offer her a loving forever home, please contact Friends of Akitas Trust as follows: Complete the adoption form here.

About Sky

What life with Sky looks like

Sky is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

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 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 Sky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sky?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. The Oldies Club handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sky on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sky if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Oldies Club 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Sky 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 Sky 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 The Oldies Club early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sky 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.
