Adopt Kajtek

Mixed Breed · Female

Compatibility with others: With female dogs yes; with male dogs depending on sympathy. Current location: animal shelter Sokolka (Poland). Reason for surrender: Was taken from an alcoholic who no longer took care of him. Kajtek is curious, open and learns very quickly. He will do almost anything for a treat 🙂. He loves to run and play, and needs plenty of exercise. He has a very intelligent and loyal nature. People are the most important thing to him. Initially, he is a bit skeptical towards strangers, but with a piece of sausage he warms up much faster 🙂. Just give him some time to build trust at his own pace. He walks well on a leash and is obedient. For male dogs, sympathy plays a major role. Therefore, we would like to place him only with a female dog or as a single dog. Best placed with a resident dog (second-dog home).

Verträglichkeit: Mit Hündinnen ja; Rüden nach Sympathie. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Sokolka (Polen) Abgabegrund: Wurde einem Alkoholiker abgenommen, der sich nicht mehr um ihn gekümmert hat. Kajtek ist neugierig, offen und lernt sehr schnell. Für ein Leckerli tut er fast alles 🙂. Er liebt es zu rennen und zu toben, braucht in jedem Fall Auslastung. Besitzt ein sehr aufgewecktes und treues Wesen. Der Mensch steht für ihn an erster Stelle. Anfangs ist er Fremden gegenüber ein wenig skeptisch, mit einem leckeren Stück Wurst jedoch taut er deutlich schneller auf 🙂. Man sollte ihm einfach ein wenig Zeit geben dass er ganz in Ruhe Vertrauen fassen kann. Er geht schon gut an der Leine, ist gehorsam. Bei Rüden entscheidet maßgeblich die Sympathie. Daher möchten wir ihn nur zu einer Hündin oder als Einzelhund vermitteln.

About Kajtek

What life with Kajtek looks like

Kajtek is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

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 Kajtek, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kajtek?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kajtek on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kajtek if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Kajtek 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 Kajtek 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kajtek 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.
