How do I contact the shelter about Kelly?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. 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 — Pföttchenretter mit Herz 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 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 Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. 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.

Adopt Kelly

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

neutered: No yet old enough RACE: mixed breed (Will likely be medium to large) compatibility with others: Compatible with dogs and cats. Current location: animal shelter Daniela Lekova (Sofia, Bulgaria) Reason for surrender: Rescued from a cluttered household. Kelly was rescued together with her siblings from a cluttered household. Today, she is safe and finally has the chance to settle in, build trust, and discover a normal dog life. As a puppy, Kelly knows little of the world and must learn step by step how everyday life functions: new sounds, different substrates, walks on a leash, and encounters with strangers. She needs people who will give her time, not overwhelm her, and show her with patience and affection that she can rely on her trusted people. With clear routines, loving consequences, and much affection, Kelly will become more secure day by day. She is active, people-oriented, and already shows how much potential is in her. For Kelly, we wish a home that enjoys accompanying a puppy – with everything that goes along with it: practicing house training, learning calmness, understanding boundaries, and getting to know the world in small portions. Conscious calm phases and gentle training help her process what she experiences well. Whoever gives Jeanie this chance will get a young female dog with much potential who will gain more courage with each passing day and develop into a loyal, happy companion.

Kastriert: Noch zu jung Rasse: Mischling (Wird vermutlich mittelgroß bis groß) Verträglichkeit: Verträglich mit Hunden und Katzen. Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Daniela Lekova (Sofia, Bulgarien) Abgabegrund: Aus einem Messie-Haushalt gerettet. Kelly wurde zusammen mit ihren Geschwistern aus einem Messie-Haushalt gerettet. Heute ist sie in Sicherheit und bekommt endlich die Chance, anzukommen, Vertrauen aufzubauen und ein normales Hundeleben zu entdecken. Als Welpe kennt Kelly vieles noch nicht und muss Schritt für Schritt lernen, wie Alltag funktioniert: neue Geräusche, verschiedene Untergründe, Spaziergänge an der Leine und Begegnungen mit fremden Menschen. Sie braucht Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben, sie nicht überfordern und ihr mit Ruhe und Geduld zeigen, dass sie sich auf ihre Bezugspersonen verlassen kann. Mit klaren Routinen, liebevoller Konsequenz und viel Zuwendung wird Kelly von Tag zu Tag sicherer. Sie ist aktiv, menschenbezogen und zeigt bereits jetzt, wie viel Potenzial in ihr steckt. Für Kelly wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, das Freude daran hat, einen Welpen zu begleiten – mit allem, was dazugehört: Stubenreinheit üben, Ruhe lernen, Grenzen verstehen und die Welt in kleinen Portionen kennenlernen. Bewusste Ruhephasen und sanftes Training helfen ihr, das Erlebte gut zu verarbeiten. Wer Jeanie diese Chance gibt, bekommt eine junge Hündin mit viel Potenzial, die mit jedem Tag mehr Mut fasst und sich zu einer treuen, fröhlichen Begleiterin entwickeln wird.

About Kelly

What life with Kelly looks like

Kelly is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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.
