About Ken

What life with Ken looks like

Ken is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Das kleine Tierheim in Lohra.

A 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. Many dogs and cats leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport, but this varies by shelter, so confirm what is included with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ken, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ken?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Das kleine Tierheim handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ken on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ken if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Das kleine Tierheim whether they will for Ken, what they require (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 Ken already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Das kleine Tierheim lists Ken as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Das kleine Tierheim, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ken isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Das kleine Tierheim about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ken 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.
