Keks

Rottweiler · Male · Adult · 4 years

Start / Animals / Dogs / Male dog / KeksKeks02.2024. Breed: Rottweiler. Gender: male dog, unneuteredAge: 2022Shoulder height: ca. 60-65 cm Categories: Dogs, male dog, animals Description Keks came to us as a found animal. He requires experienced breed-specific masters and mistresses. His everyday life in the animal shelter is not easy for him, and he is essentially under constant stress. It is assumed that he has had bad experiences. Keks is rather insecure, and it is essential for handling him that one earns his trust. Then he can also orient himself. Too much pressure, on the other hand, is counterproductive and leads to defensive behavior, which then also manifests in front of others. With other dogs, it depends on their sympathy, but with male dogs, it is particularly difficult. If he has formed a bond with a human, he can show protective behavior. He accepts boundaries but questions them regularly. Therefore, a sovereign leadership is essential. He accepts leadership from men more readily, but questions it more vigorously from women. Children should not live in the household. Whether he can get along with cats should be tested if necessary. Keks02.2024. Breed: Rottweiler.

About Keks

What life with Keks looks like

Keks is an adult rottweiler dog waiting at Tierheim Fulda in Fulda.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Keks, answered.

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