Kanellos

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Male dog KANELLOS, born around 10/2019, shoulder height approximately 64 cm and weighing about 40-42 kg; a loving home is urgently needed for him. Kanellos is a large hunting-dog mix with an even bigger heart. In addition to his size, he brings plenty of strength, energy, and affection. At our partner animal shelter, Kanellos shows himself to be a cheerful, relaxed, and people-oriented fellow. He actively seeks closeness to humans and truly enjoys every moment of attention. He loves contact, is sweet in his interactions, and it quickly becomes apparent how much he misses exercise and external stimuli. When he finally gets the chance to leave his kennel, however, you can also see just how unfulfilled he feels. As soon as he goes outside, Kanellos reveals how much energy has been building up over the years. Currently, he still pulls extremely hard on the leash (it’s important to bear in mind that otherwise he hardly ever leaves his kennel due to the lack of volunteer helpers). Thus, under normal conditions, his behavior might appear somewhat distorted compared to reality. Nevertheless, Kanellos needs physically fit and experienced dog owners who are ready to teach him everything. With regular exercise, clear leadership, and meaningful mental and physical stimulation, he’ll quickly learn to relax more calmly when out and about. In his kennel, he’s relaxed, which leads us to believe that he’d also be a calm and cuddly companion inside the home. Kanellos is a cheerful and lovable dog who longs to get out—out of the shelter and into a normal life. He deeply yearns for people who can give him time, exercise, and structure. He’s more than ready for shared adventures. We do not place dogs in highly urban residential areas or in families with small children. Please submit an adoption application only if taking him on at the time specified in the text is feasible and if you’ve already discussed welcoming a new family member with your household (including any other involved parties such as employers, landlords, or temporary caregivers). Please note that the dogs described here are currently staying at their foster care facility or animal shelter in a limited, secure environment with little contact with other people or environmental stimuli outside the property. The descriptions are based on their behavior in this familiar setting. In particular, puppies and young dogs are still developing their personalities. For a successful adjustment to a new home, they need time, patience, and loving guidance to get used to their new surroundings and various stimuli—and to grow into confident, well-adjusted dogs.

Rüde KANELLOS, geboren ca. 10/2019, Schulterhöhe ca. 64 cm und ca. 40-42 kg Körpergewicht, Körbchen ab sofort gesucht. Kanellos ist ein großer Jagdhund-Mix mit einem noch viel größeren Herzen. Neben seiner Größe bringt er auch viel Kraft, Energie und Liebe mit. Im unserem Partnertierheim zeigt sich Kanellos als fröhlicher, entspannter und menschenbezogen Kerl. Er sucht aktiv die Nähe zu uns Menschen und genießt wirklich jeden Moment der Aufmerksamkeit. Er sucht Kontakt, ist lieb im Umgang und man merkt schnell, wie sehr ihm Bewegung und Außenreize fehlen. Bekommt er mal die Chance den Zwinger zu verlassen, so merkt man allerdings auch, wie unausgelastet er ist. Denn sobald es nach draußen geht, zeigt Kanellos, wie viel Energie sich über die Jahre angestaut hat. Er zieht aktuell noch extrem an der Leine (man muss bedenken, dass er sonst kaum aus seinem Zwinger kommt bei fehlenden ehrenamtlichen Helfern). Da ist es eventuell ein verzerrtes Bild zur Wirklichkeit bei einer normalen Auslastung. Kanellos braucht trotzdem körperlich fitte und hundeerfahrene Menschen, die bereit sind, ihm alles beizubringen. Mit regelmäßiger Bewegung, klarer Führung und sinnvoller Auslastung wird er schnell lernen, auch draußen entspannter unterwegs zu sein. Im Zwinger ist er entspannt, weshalb wir vermuten, dass er auch im Haus ein entspannter und verschmuster Geselle ist. Kanellos ist ein fröhlicher und liebenswerter Hund, der endlich raus möchte – raus aus dem Tierheim, rein in ein normales Leben. Er sehnt sich sehr nach Menschen, die ihm Zeit, Bewegung und Struktur schenken. Er ist mehr als bereit auf gemeinsame Abenteuer. 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 Kanellos

What life with Kanellos looks like

Kanellos is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed 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 Kanellos, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kanellos?
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 Kanellos on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kanellos 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 Kanellos 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 Kanellos 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 Kanellos 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.
