Yuma

Akita · Female · Adult · 5 years

Yuma is a red-and-white Akita-mix female dog (Japanese Akita / ???), estimated to have been born in January 2023. She stands approximately 50 cm tall at the shoulder and weighs 23 kg. Yuma arrived at the Hildesheim animal shelter in March 2026 as a stray. With her familiar caregivers, Yuma is a very affectionate and cuddly dog. She actively seeks closeness, closely bonds with her people, and thoroughly enjoys shared moments together. At the same time, however, she needs a confident, clear, and reliable leader. If given this sense of security, she can easily adjust and relax. Yuma is an athletic, intelligent, and energetic dog who would like to be both physically and mentally stimulated. However, she also exhibits behaviors that should not be underestimated.

Yuma kam als Fundtier im März 2026 ins Tierheim Hildesheim. Bei ihren vertrauten Bezugspersonen ist Yuma eine sehr anhängliche und verschmuste Hündin. Sie sucht aktiv Nähe, orientiert sich eng an âihrenâ Menschen und genieÃt gemeinsame Momente sehr. Gleichzeitig benötigt sie jedoch eine souveräne, klare und verlässliche Führung. Gibt man ihr diese Sicherheit, kann sie sich gut einfügen und entspannen. Yuma ist eine sportliche, intelligente und energiegeladene Hündin, die sowohl körperlich als auch mental ausgelastet werden möchte. Allerdings bringt sie auch Verhaltensweisen mit, die nicht unterschätzt werden dürfen.

About Yuma

What life with Yuma looks like

Yuma 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Yuma, answered.

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