Adopt Katy

Mixed Breed · Female

Katy 10/2025 | female Hi there! My name is Katy. I’m a young female dog with short legs but an even bigger heart. I love to play, am open and friendly, and enjoy approaching people. I also get along well with other dogs. I’m active and want to be kept busy, yet at the same time I bring lots of joy and lightness with me. As a young dog, I still have plenty to learn and hope for people who will take the time to teach me. Because of my short legs, a ground-floor home would be ideal for me, so I don’t have to strain myself unnecessarily in daily life or develop back problems. If you’re looking for a cheerful, approachable female dog who’d love to be part of your everyday life, please get in touch with me!

Katy 10/2025 | weiblich Hallöchen, mein Name ist Katy. Ich bin eine junge Hündin mit kurzen Beinen und dafür aber mit einem umso größeren Herz. Ich spiele gerne, bin offen und freundlich und gehe gerne auf Menschen zu. Auch mit anderen Hunden komme ich gut zurecht. Ich bin aktiv und möchte beschäftigt werden, gleichzeitig bringe ich aber auch viel Freude und Leichtigkeit mit. Als Junghund habe ich noch einiges zu lernen und wünsche mir Menschen, die sich die Zeit dafür nehmen. Aufgrund meiner kurzen Beine wäre ein ebenerdiges Zuhause für mich ideal, damit ich mich im Alltag nicht unnötig anstrengen muss oder Probleme mit dem Rücken bekomme. Wenn du eine fröhliche, zugängliche Hündin suchst, die gerne Teil deines Alltags ist, dann melde dich doch bei mir. zum Kontaktformular Katy Katy Katy

About Katy

What life with Katy looks like

Katy is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Menschen für Tiere in Oberndorf a.N..

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Katy, answered.

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