How do I contact the shelter about Kelly?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Schkortitz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kelly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kelly if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Schkortitz 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 Kelly 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 Kelly 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 Schkortitz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kelly 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.

Kelly

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

Kelly was finally rehomed to Colditz in March 2015 and has felt at home since the first day, as if she had always been there! ———————————————————————————– I am female, spayed and I was born around 2009. I have been waiting for a new home since January 2015. I am about 55cm tall. This is what my caregivers say about me. Kelly is a stray dog from the Muldental area and has never been reported missing. After the appropriate waiting period, she has now been medically examined and is looking for her big happiness. Kelly is a dream dog, active but not too wild, child-friendly, affectionate, friendly to everyone. Kelly gets along with other animals, with small animals and cats she was curious but responsive so far. With our small walking companions, Kelly is very popular. Kelly is well-behaved on a leash, house-trained, can be left alone, car rides and vet visits are no problem. She likes to be around, cuddles especially and enjoys grooming. She is suitable as a first dog, can be rehomed with other animals and is looking for a home where she is missed when she's not there.

About Kelly

What life with Kelly looks like

Kelly is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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.
