Kate

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Kate gave birth to her puppies on the street this winter, and she was discovered by animal rescuers who took the little family in. After a short time, the animal-loving people were overwhelmed and informed Animal Life Sibiu. The family moved and is now housed in an intake station with many other dogs. Kate with her shortened tail is pure gratitude on four legs. She is an extremely affectionate female dog who does everything to please her people. She enjoys every form of attention and always shows her best side. Despite her hard past, she has kept her playful character and zest for life. Kate was an exemplary mother, but now it's time for her to be the 'baby' in the family. She deserves a garden to run around in and a cozy spot to snuggle and feel at home.

Kate brachte diesen Winter ihre Welpen auf der Straße zur Welt, sie wurde von Tierschützern entdeckt und sie nahmen die kleine Familie zu sich nach Hause. Nach kurzer Zeit waren die tierlieben Leute jedoch überfordert und informierten Animal Life Sibiu. Die Familie zog um und ist seitdem in einer Auffangstation mit vielen anderen Hunden untergebracht. Kate mit ihrem verkürzten Schwänzchen ist die pure Dankbarkeit auf vier Pfoten. Sie ist eine extrem liebevolle Hündin, die alles tut, um ihren Menschen zu gefallen. Sie genießt jede Form von Aufmerksamkeit und zeigt sich stets von ihrer besten Seite. Trotz ihrer harten Vergangenheit hat sie sich ihren verspielten Charakter und ihre Lebensfreude bewahrt. Kate war eine vorbildliche Mutter, aber jetzt ist es an der Zeit, dass SIE das ‚Baby‘ in der Familie sein darf. Sie verdient einen Garten zum Flitzen und ein gemütliches Plätzchen zum kuscheln und wohlfühlen.

About Kate

What life with Kate looks like

Kate is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Pfotenglück Bayern in Germany.

A young 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. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kate, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kate?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenglück Bayern handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kate on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kate if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pfotenglück Bayern 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Kate 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 Kate 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 Pfotenglück Bayern early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kate 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.
