Kanzi

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Kanzi is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, neutered, vet checked and has an EU passport. A friendly "hello" to all two-legged beings, I would like to tell you a little about myself and let you know what kind of home I would like to live in in the future. But first, I would like to tell you my name: My name is Kanzi and I am a mixed-breed male dog. Unfortunately, I have experienced a lot of bad things in my past, because I lived originally in an Animal Hoarding household under miserable conditions. My caregivers at the animal shelter Herzsprung help me regain trust in people and they support me in finding a loving home. However, due to my bad past, I am an extremely insecure and fearful dog who initially approaches every stranger with suspicion. It is therefore important for me that my new owners are gentle and understanding people who give me the time I need to build trust. With love and time, you will win my heart and I will gradually open up to you. Because once I have built trust in my people, I am certainly a cheerful and affectionate guy who really enjoys your affection. I get along very well with my fellow animals and could easily live as a second dog in my new home. Unfortunately, I am still very frightened and jumpy in many everyday situations. However, I already walk well on the leash if I trust my person. In my new home, I still have to learn many things that are unfamiliar to me. My people must work on my fears with me, and they should bring patience and understanding. I am looking for a home in a rural area or a quiet suburban location. In addition, I will not be rehomed to a family with younger children, but the children should have reached the teenage age.

Kanzi ist geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, kastriert, tierärztlich untersucht und hat einen EU-Pass. Ein freundliches „Hallo“ an alle Zweibeiner, ich möchte euch ein wenig über mich erzählen und euch mitteilen, in was für einem Zuhause ich künftig leben möchte. Doch zuerst möchte ich euch aber einmal verraten, wie ich heiße: Mein Name ist Kanzi und ich bin ein Mischlingsrüde. Leider habe ich in meiner Vergangenheit sehr viel Schlimmes erlebt, denn ich lebte leider ursprünglich in einem Animal Hoarding Haushalt unter miserablen Umständen. Meine Pfleger und Pflegerinnen im Tierheim Herzsprung helfen mir dabei, wieder Vertrauen zu euch Menschen aufzubauen und sie unterstützen mich bei der Suche nach einem liebevollen Zuhause. Doch aufgrund meiner schlechten Vergangenheit bin ich ein äußerst unsicherer und ängstlicher Hundemann, der jedem fremden Zweibeiner zunächst mit Misstrauen gegenübertritt. Es ist daher für mich wichtig, dass meine neuen Besitzer sanfte und verständnisvolle Menschen sind, die mir die Zeit geben, die ich benötige, um Vertrauen aufzubauen. Mit viel Liebe und Zeit werdet ihr mein Herz dann für euch gewinnen und ich werde mich euch mit der Zeit öffnen. Denn habe ich Vertrauen zu meinen Menschen aufgebaut, bin ich sicher ein fröhlicher und anhänglicher Bursche, der die Zuneigung von euch sehr genießt. Auch mit meinen Artgenossen verstehe ich mich wirklich sehr gut und könnte in meinem neuen Zuhause ohne Probleme als Zweithund leben. Leider bin ich in vielen Alltagssituationen noch sehr verängstigt und schreckhaft. Jedoch laufe ich bereits recht gut an der Leine mit, wenn ich meinen Menschen etwas vertraue. In meinem neuen Zuhause muss ich noch ganz viele Dinge lernen, die mir bisher unbekannt sind. Meine Menschen müssen mit mir an meinen Ängsten arbeiten, dabei sollten sie Geduld und Verständnis mitbringen. Ich suche ein Zuhause im ländlichen Bereich oder einer ruhigen Stadtrandlage. Zudem werde ich nicht an eine Familie mit jüngeren Kindern vermittelt, sondern die Kinder sollten bereits das Teenageralter erreicht haben.

About Kanzi

What life with Kanzi looks like

Kanzi is a adult mixed breed animal waiting at Tierheim Herzsprung.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Kanzi far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇩🇪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 Kanzi, answered.

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