KENDA

German Shepherd · Female · Puppy · 8 months

Kenda is a young German Shepherd, born on 09.01.2026. She came to our shelter as part of a seizure. Currently, she weighs about 25 kg and has a shoulder height of approximately 55 cm - as Kenda is still growing, she is expected to gain more in size and weight. We are looking for dog-experienced people for Kenda, ideally with experience with German Shepherds and a good understanding of the needs of this demanding breed. She needs consistent, fair and confident leadership as well as people who give her clear boundaries and reliable structures. Kenda is still a very young dog and must first learn the complete dog-1x1. This includes basic training, leash training, orientation to humans and appropriate handling of everyday situations. She likes to test her limits and therefore needs people who show her patiently but consistently what is expected of her. In addition to physical exercise, Kenda needs above all mental stimulation. She wants to learn and be occupied and should be challenged and promoted in her possibilities. A home with people who enjoy working with their dog and who want to accompany Kenda in her development would therefore be ideal. Children should not live in their future home. Kenda is friendly and open to people. She is very people-oriented, playful and affectionate. She is a real "body clown" and brings a lot of life with her young, sometimes a bit reckless nature. Kenda is generally compatible with other dogs. However, she still needs guidance and support in contact with other dogs, as she also needs to learn to communicate and orient herself appropriately here. A confident handling of dog encounters should therefore be part of her further education. Kenda has disc problems and other typical findings for the German Shepherd. She therefore needs corresponding medical care and pain therapy. Her future people should be willing to deal intensively with her health needs and ensure necessary treatments on a permanent basis. In addition, Kenda already shows approaches to stereotypical or compulsive behavior in our shelter. These include in particular circling and self-mutilation. This behavior must be taken seriously and further professionally accompanied. Our caregivers would be happy to advise you on further information.

Kenda ist eine junge Deutsche Schäferhündin, geboren am 09.01.2026. Sie kam im Rahmen einer Sicherstellung zu uns ins Tierheim. Aktuell wiegt sie etwa 25 Kilo und hat eine Schulterhöhe von ca. 55 cm – da Kenda noch mitten im Wachstum steckt, wird sie voraussichtlich noch an Größe und Gewicht zulegen. Für Kenda suchen wir hundeerfahrene Menschen, idealerweise mit Erfahrung mit Deutschen Schäferhunden und einem guten Verständnis für die Bedürfnisse dieser anspruchsvollen Rasse. Sie braucht eine konsequente, faire und souveräne Führung sowie Menschen, die ihr klare Grenzen und verlässliche Strukturen geben. Kenda ist noch eine sehr junge Hündin und muss das komplette Hunde-1x1 erst lernen. Dazu gehören unter anderem Grunderziehung, Leinenführigkeit, Orientierung am Menschen und ein angemessener Umgang mit Alltagssituationen. Sie testet gerne ihre Grenzen aus und benötigt daher Menschen, die ihr geduldig, aber konsequent zeigen, was von ihr erwartet wird. Neben körperlicher Auslastung braucht Kenda vor allem Beschäftigung für Kopf und Geist. Sie möchte lernen und beschäftigt werden und sollte entsprechend ihren Möglichkeiten sinnvoll gefordert und gefördert werden. Ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die Freude an gemeinsamer Arbeit mit ihrem Hund haben und Kenda auch in ihrer Entwicklung begleiten möchten, wäre daher ideal. Kinder sollten in ihrem zukünftigen Zuhause nicht leben. Kenda zeigt sich Menschen gegenüber freundlich und aufgeschlossen. Sie ist sehr menschenbezogen, verspielt und verschmust. Dabei ist sie ein echter „Körperclown“ und bringt mit ihrer jungen, manchmal etwas ungestümen Art ordentlich Leben mit. Mit Artgenossen ist Kenda grundsätzlich verträglich. Im Kontakt mit anderen Hunden benötigt sie jedoch noch Anleitung und Unterstützung, da sie auch hier erst lernen muss, angemessen zu kommunizieren und sich zu orientieren. Ein souveräner Umgang mit Hundebegegnungen sollte daher Bestandteil ihrer weiteren Erziehung sein. Bei Kenda bestehen Bandscheibenprobleme sowie weitere für den Deutschen Schäferhund typische Befunde. Sie benötigt deshalb eine entsprechende medizinische Betreuung und Schmerztherapie. Ihre zukünftigen Menschen sollten bereit sein, sich intensiv mit ihren gesundheitlichen Bedürfnissen auseinanderzusetzen und notwendige Behandlungen dauerhaft sicherzustellen. Darüber hinaus zeigt Kenda bei uns bereits Ansätze zu stereotypem bzw. zwanghaftem Verhalten. Dazu gehören insbesondere Kreiseln und selbstverletzendes Verhalten (Selbstmutilation). Dieses Verhalten muss unbedingt ernst genommen und weiter fachlich begleitet werden. Für nährere Informationen beraten SIe unsere Pfleger gerne. -0Fax: 089/90 73 20E-Mail

About KENDA

What life with KENDA looks like

KENDA is a puppy/kitten german shepherd dog waiting at Tierschutzverein München.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting KENDA, answered.

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