Teddy8

Akita · Male · Young · 2 years

Teddy8 is a black and white American Akita puppy, born in November 2023. Teddy8 weighs around 40 kg and stands about 68 cm at the shoulder. Teddy8 is neutered. Teddy8 is looking for a new home because his family is overwhelmed with him. There have been issues with the 4 young grandchildren. Teddy8 is a loving and friendly dog when someone sets boundaries for him. He is a pubescent ruffian who tests his limits. In dog training classes, he shows himself to be open, amiable, and eager to learn. Teddy8 has a low frustration tolerance. With strangers in the house and garden, his behavior depends on their sympathy; some he ignores, others he barks or growls at. Teddy8 was moved to a new family with a Husky dog at the end of 2024. With the family, it went well, but unfortunately, the two dogs did not get along at all, leading to a fight after just a few days.

Teddy8 ist ein schwarzweiÃer Amerikanischer Akita-Rüde, geboren November 2023. Teddy8 wiegt ca. 40 kg und hat eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 68 cm. Teddy8 ist kastriert. Teddy8 sucht ein neues Zuhause, weil seine Familie mit ihm überfordert ist. Es kam zu Problemen mit den 4 jungen Enkelkindern. Teddy8 ist ein lieber freundlicher Hund, wenn er jemanden hat, der ihm Grenzen setzt. Er ist ein pubertärer Rowdie, der sich austestet. In der Hundeschule zeigt er sich aufgeschlossen, umgänglich und lernbereit. Teddy8 hat eine geringe Frustrationstoleranz. Bei Fremden in Haus und Garten entscheidet die Sympathie, manche ignoriert er, andere bellt oder knurrt er an. Teddy8 war Ende 2024 zu einer neuen Familie gezogen mit einer Husky-Hündin. Mit der Familie klappte es prima, leider verstanden sich die beiden Hunde überhaupt nicht, nach wenigen Tagen kam es zu einer BeiÃerei.

About Teddy8

What life with Teddy8 looks like

Teddy8 is a young adult akita dog waiting at slug in Kamen.

An young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Teddy8, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Teddy8?
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 Teddy8 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Teddy8 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 Teddy8 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 Teddy8 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 Teddy8 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.
