Kalif

Labrador Retriever · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Kalif and his 3 sisters were abandoned. They were lucky to be found and brought to our partner animal shelter, LIDA. After quarantine, they were moved to a kennel where they now live in a mixed pack. Kalif is a handsome puppy with a pink nose and green-golden eyes. He is very social, plays and fights with the other puppies, and when a human comes to "visit" and plays and cuddles with him, the day is perfect. We are looking for a family or individual with dog experience and a garden for Kalif, who is aware that raising a puppy requires time and patience to become a great family dog and companion. A first dog in the family is welcome. Children should be of primary school age and know how to handle animals responsibly, because puppies are not toys. If you would like to learn more about Kalif, please contact us without obligation. All dogs are chipped, vaccinated and travel with an EU passport in a transport registered with the German veterinary office when they leave.

Kalif und seine 3 Schwester wurden ausgesetzt. Sie hatten Glück, dass sie gefunden wurden und in unser Kooperationstierheim, die LIDA gebracht wurden. Nach der Quarantänezeit durften sie in ein Gehege umziehen, wo sie nun in einem gemischten Rudel leben. Kalif ist ein hübscher Junghund mit einer rosa Nase und grün-goldenen Augen. Er ist sehr sozial, tobt und spielt mit den anderen Welpen und wenn dann noch ein Mensch zu „Besuch kommt“ der mit ihm spielt und kuschelt, ist der Tag perfekt. Wir suchen für Kalif eine Familie oder Einzelperson mit Hundeerfahrung und Garten, die sich bewusst ist, dass die Erziehung eines Welpen Zeit und Geduld fordert, damit aus ihnm ein toller Familienhund und Begleiter wird. Gerne kann ein Ersthund in der Familie leben. Kinder sollten im Grundschulalter sein und den verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Tieren kennen, denn Welpen sind kein Spielzeug. Wenn Sie mehr über Kalif erfahren möchten, nehmen Sie gerne unverbindlich Kontakt auf. Alle Hunde sind bei Ausreise gechipt, geimpft und reisen mit einem EU Ausweis in einem beim deutschen Veterinäramt registrierten Transport.

About Kalif

What life with Kalif looks like

Kalif is a medium-sized puppy labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Furbys FellFreunde in Bornheim.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Kalif, answered.

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