How do I contact the shelter about Kalle?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Alsfeld 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 Alsfeld 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 Alsfeld 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.

Adopt Kalle

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

All dogs Kalle Print Published: February 8, 2026 Date of Birth: estimated February 2017 Gender: male Breed: Mix Shoulder height: approx. 68cm Weight: 36kg Kalle has only recently moved in with us, but we can already tell you a lot about this wonderful guy after such a short time. Kalle was discovered by our employee in Romania, and it can be said that it was love at first sight. Even in Romania, the male dog was very friendly and affectionate towards people. He lived there with two female dogs and always showed the best mood, which was truly infectious. A few months later, we were able to welcome Kalle to our animal shelter. Now he lives in our large dog group and shows himself to be very socially compatible. Kalle is about 9 years old and can already walk well on a leash. He has also attended dog training classes and has shown his best side here as well. Additionally, Kalle gets along well with children, meaning that in his new home, children are more than welcome. We advise anyone and every family who wants to have a dog move in with them to seek out professional dog training classes beforehand. We can only describe how we know them in the animal shelter environment. In a new home, many dogs develop differently, and it is highly recommended to have competent advice by their side immediately. Would you like to meet Kalle? Then please call for more information and/or to arrange a visit to the animal shelter. It would be convenient to call in the morning between 9:00 and 12:00 and then again between 14:00 and 16:00. Please understand if someone does not answer the phone immediately, as our office is not always occupied and the staff are usually busy with animal care. So, please don't give up and try several times.

Alle Hunde Kalle Drucken Veröffentlicht: 08. Februar 2026 Geburtsdatum: geschätzt Februar 2017 Geschlecht: männlich Rasse: Mix Größe (Schulterhöhe): ca. 68cm Gewicht: 36kg Kalle ist erst vor Kurzem bei uns eingezogen, aber wir können nach dieser kurzen Zeit schon einiges über den tollen Kerl berichten. Kalle wurde von unserer Mitarbeiterin in Rumänien entdeckt und man kann behaupten, dass es quasi Liebe auf den ersten Blick war. Schon in Rumänien zeigte sich der Rüde den Menschen gegenüber sehr freundlich und zugewandt. Er lebte dort mit zwei Hündinnen zusammen und zeigte sich immer mit bester Laune, die wirklich ansteckend ist. Ein paar Monate später durften wir Kalle dann schon in unserem Tierheim willkommen heißen. Mittlerweile wohnt er in unserer großen Hundegruppe und zeigt sich sozial sehr verträglich. Kalle ist ca. 9 Jahre alt und kann schon gut an der Leine laufen. Auch die Hundeschule hat er bereits besucht und zeigt sich auch hier von seiner besten Seite. Außerdem kommt Kalle gut mit Kindern zurecht, d.h. in seinem neuen Zuhause dürfen gerne Kinder wohnen. Wir raten jedem Menschen und jeder Familie, die einen Hund bei sich einziehen lassen möchten, sich vorab um eine professionelle Hundeschule zu bemühen. Wir können nur so beschreiben wie wir sie hier im Tierheim- Umfeld kennenlernen. Im neuen Zuhause entwickeln sich viele Hunde neu und hier ist es unbedingt angeraten, sofort eine kompetente Beratung an seiner Seite zu haben.Möchten Sie Kalle kennenlernen?Dann rufen Sie bitte für weitere Infos und/oder für die Vergabe eines Besuchstermins im Tierheim unter der an. Günstig wäre ein Telefonat vormittags zwischen 9.00 und 12.00 Uhr und dann wieder zwischen 14.00 und 16.00 Uhr. Bitte haben Sie dafür Verständnis, wenn nicht sofort jemand ans Telefon geht, da unser Büro nicht immer besetzt ist und die Mitarbeiter meist in der Tierversorgung sind. Geben Sie also bitte nicht auf und versuchen es öfters. Herzlichen Dank für Ihre Geduld und I

About Kalle

What life with Kalle looks like

Kalle is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Alsfeld in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
