Keks (m)

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

KEKS should not give up. Keks came as a puppy to the private animal shelter of Dana. He has lived there for almost 5 years and has never received an inquiry. Is it because he is black? Because he is small? Because he was simply not noticed? We do not know. When our German animal protection colleague entered Keks's pen in May 2025 to meet another dog, Keks was there. ⭐️ Born February 2022 ⭐️ Simply nice, cuddly, cheerful ⭐️ Gets along well with other dogs ⭐️ A cat test can be done Calm, tail-wagging with big eyes directed at her. When she asked the caretaker if she could touch Keks – but since Keks had already snuggled up to her, the question was unnecessary. Keks is a wonderful puppy, unflustered, and when you take care of him, the whole Keks dances with joy. But then there are moments when he looks into the void and one wonders what he sees. The world behind the pen? Passing by the pen, he stands there. Calm, waiting, hoping. He is a wonderful guy and with his calmness, we assume that he will adapt well to a new life after many years. In Romania, he is actually named Peppin. But everyone must think of a sweet, chubby Keks when they meet him. Of course, he has a lot to learn, but he is very fixed on people and it should not be difficult for him to find a wonderful person to accompany him. We can also do a cat test with him. Will someone finally give this dog a chance? Who will fall in love with the gentle male dog and give him his heart and a happy future??? He will be microchipped, dewormed, vaccinated, neutered, and travel with Snap4 d Test. Keks will be in contact: or on fb All our dogs come to Pottenstein and want to be picked up here. All our dogs travel with official Trace papers and of course, we also have Paragraph 11.

KEKS soll sich nicht aufgeben. Keks kam als Welpe in das private Tierheim von Dana. Dort lebt er nun schon seit fast 5 Jahren und hatte noch nie eine Anfrage. Weil er schwarz ist? Weil er klein ist? Weil er einfach nicht gesehen wurde? Wir wissen es nicht. Als unsere deutsche Tierschutzkollegin im Mai 2025 den Zwinger von Keks betrat, war dies eigentlich um einen anderen Hund zu treffen. Und plötzlich stand da Keks. ⭐️ Geboren Februar 2022 ⭐️ Einfach nett, verschmust, fröhlich ⭐️ Verträglich mit anderen Hunden ⭐️ Katzentest kann gemacht werden Ruhig, schwanzwedelnd mit großen Augen, die auf sie gerichtet waren. Ob man ihn anfassen könne, fragte sie die Pflegerin – aber da sich Keks schon an sie geschmiegt und die Frage erübrigte sich. Keks ist ein toller Hundejunge, ganz unaufgeregt und wenn man sich um ihn kümmert, wackelt der ganze Keks vor Freude. Aber dann sind da diese Momente, in denen er in die Leere blickt und man fragt sich, was er dort sieht. Die Welt hinter dem Zwinger? Geht am Zwinger vorbei, dann steht er da. Ruhig, wartend, hoffend. Er ist ein wunderbarer Kerl und mit seiner Ruhe vermuten wir, dass er sich nach den vielen Jahren gut in ein neues Leben einfügen kann. In Rumänien heißt er eigentlich Peppin. Aber alle müssen an einen süßen, dicken Keks denken, wenn man ihn trifft. Natürlich muss er viel lernen, aber er ist sehr auf den Menschen fixiert und es sollte ihm nicht schwerfallen mit einem tollen Menschen an seiner Seite. Gerne können wir auch einen Katzentest mit ihm machen. Findet sich jemand, der endlich diesem Hund eine Chance gibt? Wer verliebt sich in den sanften Rüden und schenkt ihm sein Herz und eine glückliche Zukunft??? Er wird gechipt, entwurmt, geimpft, kastriert und mit Snap4 d Test ausreisen. Keks wird mit Vorkontrolle und Vertrag über die TNH Casa Katharina e.V. Kontakt: oder auf fb Alle unsere Hunde kommen in Pottenstein an und wollen auch hier abgeholt werden. Alle unsere Hunde reisen mit offiziellen Tracespapieren und natürlich haben wir auch den Paragraph 11.

About Keks (m)

What life with Keks (m) looks like

Keks (m) is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tiernothilfe Casa Katharina e.V. in Nürnberg.

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 Keks (m), answered.

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