Tequila

Akita · Male · Senior · 10 years

Tequila prefers extensive walks where he can sniff and explore everything. He walks calmly on the leash and shows no interest in other dogs. Tequila’s passion is "eating." For a greeting, one always gets a kiss from Tequila, because Tequila is also very loved by his people. Tequila wishes for a place where he doesn’t have to share his food.

DE·Show original

Tequila bevorzugt ausgedehnte Spaziergänge, wo er alles beschnüffeln und erkunden kann. Er geht brav an der Leine, und zeigt dabei kein Interesse an andere Hunden. Zu Tequilas Leidenschaft gehört das "Fressen". Zur Begrüßung bekommt man von Tequila immer ein Küsschen, denn auch seine Menschen liebt Tequila sehr. Tequila wünscht sich einen Platz, wo er sein Futter nicht teilen muss.

About Tequila

What life with Tequila looks like

Tequila is a senior akita dog waiting at Tierheim Baden in Baden.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇦🇹Adopting from Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tequila, answered.

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