Kalle

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Kalle was given to us due to overexertion. The mixed-breed male dog is very nice with his people but can also be watchful. He is more of a loner and does not value other dogs at home. He likes female dogs, but his preference for male dogs depends on their personality. He can do without cats. Kalle travels well by bus and train and has also learned to be alone. Children should not live in the household. The temperamental male dog wants to be occupied and likes to play. For Kalle, dog experience is recommended. Who will give him a home?

DE·Show original

Kalle wurde aus Überforderung bei uns abgegeben. Der Mischlingsrüde ist mit seinen Menschen sehr nett, kann aber auch wachsam sein. Er ist eher ein Einzelgänger und legt keinen Wert auf andere Hunde daheim. Hündinnen mag er, bei Rüden entscheidet die Sympathie. Auf Katzen kann er gut verzichten. Kalle fährt gut in Bus und Bahn mit und hat auch das Alleine bleiben gelernt. Kinder sollten nicht im Haushalt leben. Der temperamentvolle Rüde möchte beschäftigt werden und spielt gerne. Für Kalle sollte man Hundeerfahrung mitbringen. Wer gibt ihm ein Zuhause?

About Kalle

What life with Kalle looks like

Kalle is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Nürnberg in Nuremberg.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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 Kalle, answered.

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