Kalogeros

Male · Puppy · 4 months

Kalogeros, likely a Gordon Setter mix, is an energetic male dog around 60-65 cm tall and weighing approximately 20 kg. He is people-oriented and very happy with attention. In the kennel, he is very active and always tries to climb over the fence - so he needs sufficient exercise and activity. Kalogeros gets along well with other dogs. His behavior towards cats is not yet known. Due to his suspected breed, we cannot rule out a hunting instinct. Kalogeros will be fully vaccinated by mid-November and can then travel. We do not place dogs in very urban living situations or in families with young children. Please only submit an adoption application if the takeover is possible at the time specified in the text and you have already discussed the adoption of a new family member with your family (and possibly other involved persons such as employer, landlord, interim care). Please note that the dogs described here are currently in their large-scale care facility or in the animal shelter in a limited, safe environment and have little contact with other people or environmental stimuli outside the property. The descriptions are based on the behavior in this familiar environment. Especially puppies and young dogs are still in the development of their character. They need time, patience and loving guidance to get used to the new environment and the various stimuli and to grow into confident dogs.

Kalogeros, vermutlich ein Gordon-Setter-Mix, ist ein lebhafter Rüde von etwa 60–65 cm Größe und ca. 20 kg Gewicht. Er zeigt sich menschenbezogen und freut sich sehr über Aufmerksamkeit. Im Zwinger ist er ausgesprochen aktiv und versucht immer wieder, über das Gitter zu klettern – entsprechend braucht er ausreichend Bewegung und Beschäftigung. Mit anderen Hunden ist Kalogeros gut verträglich. Wie er sich gegenüber Katzen verhält, ist bislang nicht bekannt. Aufgrund seiner vermuteten Rassezugehörigkeit können wir Jagdtrieb nicht ausschließen. Kalogeros wird bis Mitte November vollständig grundimmunisiert sein und kann anschließend ausreisen. Wir vermitteln nicht in sehr städtische Wohnlage sowie in Familien mit Kleinkindern. Bitte stellen Sie nur eine Adoptionsanfrage, wenn die Übernahme zum im Text genannten Zeitpunkt möglich ist & Sie die Aufnahme eines neuen Familienmitglieds bereits mit Ihrer Familie (ggf. weiteren involvierten Personen wie Arbeitgeber, Vermieter, Zwischenbetreuung) besprochen haben. Bitte beachten Sie, dass sich die hier beschriebenen Hunde derzeit in ihrer Großpflegestelle oder im Tierheim in einer begrenzten, sicheren Umgebung aufhalten und wenig Kontakt zu anderen Menschen oder Umweltreizen außerhalb des Grundstücks haben. Die Beschreibungen basieren auf dem Verhalten in dieser vertrauten Umgebung. Insbesondere Welpen und Junghunde sind zudem noch in der Entwicklung ihres Charakters. Für eine erfolgreiche Eingewöhnung in ein neues Zuhause benötigen sie Zeit, Geduld und liebevolle Anleitung, um sich an die neue Umgebung und die verschiedenen Reize zu gewöhnen und zu sicheren Hunden heranzuwachsen.

About Kalogeros

What life with Kalogeros looks like

Kalogeros is a large puppy/kitten dog waiting at Kreta Hunde (Tierschutz Heraklion) in Germany.

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. 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 Kalogeros, answered.

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