Kafka

Mixed Breed · Male

To inquire about Kafka, please contact: Förderverein Tiernothilfe Siebenbürgen e. V. 24. 03. 2019 - 29. 03. 2019 - Visit to our protégés in Romania "Kafka - big mouth, nothing behind it... "First of all, you all get a good dressing-down, you never know, but if there's something tasty to be had, The little stub of a tail just wouldn't stop wagging when he spotted Odilia's food case. Kafka is really one of a kind, and it's hard to say how he would behave outside, in the 'civilized world.' But I do think there's a real little rascal hiding in him! And once he has been prepared 'for life' in the right hands, and he has been able to shed his insecurity(ies), fear – I'd rather not call it that anymore – he'll surely be ready for any mischief." 01. 09. 2017 - 06. 09. 2017 - Visit to our protégés in Romania "Kafka surprised us in a positive way; based on his description from Suceag, we had expected a completely different dog. With a bit of persuasion and a little something to eat, we were allowed to touch him as well. He was very cautious, but there was no growling or anything of the sort." "Kafka is happy when he plays with other dogs and gets along with everyone, but we can hardly touch him, and he tries to snap when one attempts it. We assume he was beaten, since he immediately becomes afraid as soon as someone approaches him." Since Kafka had not touched his food for 2 days last week, Alina had him brought in from the Ecarisaj today and took him in herself. Lia made a video of Kafka showing how he behaves when touched: "Kafka is ok. It seems to me that he is no longer as thin, although he is still underweight. He is glad to be in quarantine, where it is warmer. Kafka has made no progress in trusting humans. I was able to touch him, but he was stressed and growled at me. Kafka is still afraid; he is not used to it or he does not want human contact. He is only interested in me when I give him food. The isolation in quarantine is nevertheless not good for him. I hope and believe that he can regain his joy of life and communication with people.." "Kafka is among the group of the thinnest dogs in the Ecarisaj and will have a hard time in the coming winter." "Kafka has a funny face, but sad and ver

Bei Interesse an Kafka wenden Sie sich bitte an: Förderverein Tiernothilfe Siebenbürgen e. V. 24. 03. 2019 - 29. 03. 2019 - Besuch unserer Schützlinge in Rumänien "Kafka - große Klappe, nichts dahinter... "Erstmal kassiert ihr alle einen tüchtigen Anranzer, man weiß ja nie, aber wenn es was Leckeres zu holen gibt, Das kleine Stummelschwänzchen wollte ja gar nicht mehr still stehen, als er Odilia´s Futterkoffer entdeckt hat. Kafka ist schon ein Unikat, und schwer einzuschätzen, wie er sich wohl draußen, in der "Zivilisation", benehmen würde. Aber ich denke schon, dass in ihm ein ganz schöner Frechdachs steckt! Und wenn er in den richtigen Händen erstmal "auf das Leben" vorbereitet wurde, und er seine Unsicherheit(en), Angst mag ich es eigentlich gar nicht mehr nennen, ablegen konnte, ist er bestimmt zu allen Schandtaten bereit. " 01. 09. 2017 - 06. 09. 2017 - Besuch unserer Schützlinge in Rumänien "Kafka hat uns positiv überrascht, anhand seiner Beschreibung aus Suceag haben wir einen völlig anderen Hund erwartet. Mit ein bißchen Überzeugungsarbeit und ein bißchen was zu futtern durften wir ihn auch anfassen, er war dabei zwar sehr vorsichtig, aber kein Gebrummel oder dergleichen. " "Kafka ist glücklich, wenn er mit anderen Hunden spielt und ist mit allen verträglich, wir können ihn aber kaum anfassen, und er versucht zu schnappen, wenn man es versucht. Wir gehen davon aus, dass er geschlagen wurde, da er sofort Angst bekommt, sobald man sich ihm nähert. " Da Kafka letzte Woche sein Futter 2 Tage nicht angerührt hat, hat Alina ihn heute aus der Ecarisaj holen lassen und ihn bei sich aufgenommen. Lia hat ein Video von Kafka gemacht, wo man sehen kann, wie er sich benimmt, wenn er berührt wird: "Kafka ist ok, es scheint mir, dass er nicht mehr so dünn ist, obwohl er noch untergewichtig ist. Er ist froh in der Quarantäne zu sein, wo es wärmer ist. Fortschritte bezüglich Vertrauen zum Menschen hat Kafka keine gemacht, ich konnte ihn zwar berühren, aber er war gestresst und knurrte mich an. Kafka hat immer noch Angst, er ist es nicht gewohnt oder er möchte keinen menschlichen Kontakt. Er interessiert sich nur für mich, wenn ich ihm Futter gebe. Die Isolation in der Quarantäne tut ihm trotzdem nicht gut, ich hoffe und glaube, dass er seine Lebensfreude und Kommunikation mit den Menschen wiedergewinnen kann.. " "Kafka gehört mit zu der Gruppe der dünnsten Hunde in der Ecarisaj und wird es im kommenden Winter schwer haben. " "Kafka hat ein lustiges Gesicht, aber traurige und ver

About Kafka

What life with Kafka looks like

Kafka is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellchen in Not e.V. in Germany.

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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kafka, answered.

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