Kay

Podenco · Male

Description Our Spanish animal welfare workers report: Kay was picked up by the police along with Ness wandering the streets. As they look so similar, it is assumed that they are brothers. As usual, they do not have a chip, and no one was searching for them. Therefore, our Spanish colleagues were alerted, who picked up the two. Kay is a friendly young male dog at his best age. He is very interested in people, comes with curiosity, and always wants to be there and investigate everything with his small, fine nose. The affectionate Podenco also likes children, always seeking contact with humans. Kay is a bit braver than his brother Ness. Both enjoy playing, and long walks are the best for him! He can already walk well on a leash and also behaves well in the car. He gets along very well with other dogs. The sweet Kay is a very friendly dog, and we wish very much that he will soon find a family that will give him a real home! Information on the Podenco Like most animals from abroad, Kay will also need to get used to life in the new home, as he knows neither large crowds of people nor the loud city traffic from Spain. But we are optimistic that he will adapt quickly. We wish for him a nice home in a more rural area, for example, on the outskirts of the city, where he can enjoy nature with his people. We are looking for people who are willing to patiently and affectionately acclimate this wonderful companion to life and the new home.

Beschreibung Unsere spanischen Tierschützer berichten: Kay wurde zusammen mit Ness von der Polizei herumirrend auf der Straße aufgegriffen. Da sie sich so ähnlich sehen, ist davon auszugehen, dass sie Brüder sind. Wie so oft haben sie keinen Chip und niemand suchte nach ihnen. Also wurden unsere spanischen Kollegen alarmiert, die die Beiden abholten.Kay ist ein freundlicher junger Rüde im besten Alter. Er ist sehr an Menschen interessiert, kommt neugierig und möchte gerne immer dabei sein und alles mit seiner kleinen, feinen Nase untersuchen. Kinder mag der liebe Podenco auch gerne, er sucht immer wieder den Kontakt zum Menschen. Kay ist etwas mutiger als sein Bruder Ness. Spielen finden sie aber beide klasse und ausgiebige Spaziergänge sind das aller Beste für ihn! An der Leine kann er schon ganz gut laufen und im Auto fährt er auch brav mit. Mit anderen Hunden kommt er sehr gut klar.Der süße Kay ist ein sehr freundlicher Hund und wir wünschen uns sehr, dass er bald eine Familie findet, die ihm ein richtiges Zuhause schenkt! Informationen zum Podenco Wie bei den meisten Tieren aus dem Ausland wird auch Kay sich erst an das Leben im neuen Zuhause gewöhnen müssen, kennt er doch aus Spanien weder große Menschenmengen noch den lauten Autoverkehr einer Stadt. Aber wir sind zuversichtlich, dass er sich schnell einleben wird. Wir wünschen uns für ihn ein schönes Zuhause in einer eher ländlichen Umgebung, zum Beispiel am Stadtrand, in dem er mit seinen Menschen die Natur genießen kann. Wir suchen Menschen, die bereit sind diesen tollen Begleiter mit Geduld und auf liebevolle Weise an das Leben und das neue Zuhause zu gewöhnen.

About Kay

What life with Kay looks like

Kay is a large adult podenco dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

An 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. 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 Kay, answered.

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