Thor

Akita · Female

Our Akita Inu male dog Thor is a typical representative of his breed. He is very calm and not easily unsettled. Even the stress at the shelter doesn't bother him at all. However, true to his breed, he does not like unfamiliar people, and it takes some effort and persistence for him to accept you. Once he has taken you to his heart, he is a loyal companion who loves to be with his people and enjoys being cuddled. On walks, he usually behaves unobtrusively and walks great on the leash, but if provoked by another dog, he may bark back. Generally, one can say that Thor is very compatible with female dogs but does not like unneutered male dogs. Therefore, a female dog could already be present in the new home. Food is Thor's passion, and he would do just about anything for a treat, which in many ways makes training with him easy. In his previous home, Thor had a biting incident with a stranger, which is why he is handled with a muzzle at our animal shelter. There should be no children in the new home. We are looking for experienced people who are familiar with the breed and are not afraid of some work. If interested, we look forward to a meaningful email with a phone number provided.

Unser Akita Inu Rüde Thor ist ein typischer Vertreter seiner Rasse. Er ist sehr ruhig und lässt sich nicht so schnell aus der Ruhe bringen. Selbst der Tierheimstress macht ihm überhaupt nichts aus. Typisch für seine Rasse mag er allerdings auch keine Fremden Menschen und man muss ein bisschen Arbeit investieren und hartnäckig bleiben damit er einen akzeptiert. Hat er einen allerdings ins Herz geschlossen, so ist er ein treuer Anhänger der gerne bei seinen Menschen ist und sich nach Herzenslust durch kuscheln lässt. Bei Spaziergängen mit ihm verhält er sich meist unauffällig und läuft super an der Leine, es kann jedoch sein, dass er, wenn er von einem anderen Hund provoziert wird, zurückpöbelt. An sich kann man jedoch sagen, das Thor mit Hündinnen super verträglich ist aber unkastrierte Rüden nicht so mag. Eine Hündin könnte also im neuen Zuhause bereits vorhanden sein. Futter ist Thors Leidenschaft und er würde so ziemlich alles für ein Leckerchen machen, was in vieler Hinsicht Training mit ihm einfach macht. In seinem vorherigen Zuhause hatte Thor einen Beißvorfall mit einer fremden Person, weswegen er bei uns im Tierheim mit Maulkorb geführt wird. Kinder sollten nicht im neuen Zuhause vorhanden sein. Für ihn suchen wir also Menschen, die bereits Rasse erfahren sind und auch vor etwas Arbeit nicht zurückschrecken. Bei Interesse freuen wir uns über eine aussagekräftige Email mit Angabe der Rufnummer an .

About Thor

What life with Thor looks like

Thor is an akita dog waiting at Tierheim Troisdorf in Germany.

A 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Thor, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Thor?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Tierheim Troisdorf handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Thor on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Thor if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Tierheim Troisdorf whether they will for Thor, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Thor already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Tierheim Troisdorf lists Thor as spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Tierheim Troisdorf, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Thor isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Tierheim Troisdorf about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Thor 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.
