Kaya

Cane Corso · Male · Young · 2 years

Der Klotz auf 4 Beinen kam schwerenherzens als Abgabe zu uns. Kaya weiß garnicht, wie groß er ist! Das sollten alle Menschen wissen, die mit ihm in den Kontakt treten. Man wird angesprungen, umgerannt, hinterhergezogen. Dabei hat Kaya über 60 kg Körpergewicht.Seine Masse macht es nicht einfach, ihm noch ein paar Basics beizubringen. Der Cane Corso (amerikanische Zuchtlinie) lebte bisher überwiegend im Garten und zeigt sich hier im Tierheim komplett stubenrein und macht nichts kaputt. Beim ersten Tierarztbesuch im Tierheim war er brav. Wir suchen für das Riesenbaby standfeste Menschen mit viel Hundeerfahrung und starker Führung. Kaya sollte wieder Zugang zu einem eingezäunten Garten haben, aber mit großem Hundekörbchen im Haus.

About Kaya

What life with Kaya looks like

Kaya is a medium-sized young adult cane corso dog waiting at Tierheim Heppenheim in Germany.

An young 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 Kaya, answered.

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