How do I contact the shelter about Käthe?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Dallau handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Käthe on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Käthe if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Dallau 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 Käthe 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 Käthe 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 Dallau early rather than rehoming privately; they know Käthe 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.

Käthe

Male · Adult · 4 years

Kuschelbär Käthe is the favorite of the animal shelter team… and has been with us for over three years now. Käthe is a found animal from Billigheim and has been at the animal shelter since December 1, 2022. She was found tied to a fence between two villages – unsettled and alone. But at the animal shelter, she gained trust and today shows what a big heart she has inside. Toward familiar people, Käthe is loving, cuddly, and playful. When meeting strangers, she can be initially mistrustful but then warms up – and becomes a real giant baby that loves closeness above all else. She was born around 2021. We can only speculate about her breed, but it is definitely a particularly beautiful mix. • Children: from teenage age • Dogs: after getting to know each other (usually good with male dogs) • Cats/Small animals: no • Dog experience and dog training classes recommended (especially leash manners) • Ideally, an enclosed garden is required. If you are interested in our black beauty, please contact us for a meet-and-greet appointment at the animal shelter. Here you can watch a video of Käthe (YouTube).

Kuschelbär Käthe ist der Liebling des Tierheim-Teams…und mittlerweile schon über drei Jahre bei uns. Käthe ist ein Fundtier aus Billigheim und seit dem 01.12.2022 im Tierheim. Gefunden wurde sie an einem Zaun angebunden zwischen zwei Ortschaften – verunsichert und allein. Doch im Tierheim hat sie Vertrauen gefasst und zeigt heute, was für ein großes Herz in ihr steckt. Bekannten Menschen gegenüber ist Käthe lieb, verschmust und verspielt. Fremden begegnet sie anfangs manchmal misstrauisch, taut aber auf – und wird dann zu einem echten Riesenbaby, das Nähe über alles liebt. Geboren wurde sie ca. 2021. Über ihre Rasse können wir nur spekulieren, es ist auf jeden Fall eine besonders hübsche Mischung heraus gekommen. • Kinder: ab Teeniealter • Hunde: nach Sympathie (mit Rüden meist gut) • Katzen/Kleintiere: nein • Hundeerfahrung & Hundeschule empfohlen (v. a. Leinenführigkeit) • Idealerweise eingezäunter Garten Bei Interesse an unserer schwarzen Schönheit, melden Sie sich gerne für einen Kennenlerntermin bei uns im Tierheim.

About Käthe

What life with Käthe looks like

Käthe is a small adult dog waiting at Tierheim Dallau in Elztal.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
