Kenny

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 9 years

Kenny is one of our long-term residents at the animal shelter. He has been with us since August 2017 and has spent most of his life here! Although Kenny doesn't have a family, he remains incredibly optimistic and positive. He has a cheerful personality and loves spending time outdoors with the volunteers. He enjoys walks, cuddles, and the extra tasty treats from the volunteers. Kenny is a real charmer! His cage mate, Tania, has fallen head over heels in love with him, and everyone at the shelter adores Kenny. You can often see him smiling happily when he's carried back to the shelter, as he stubbornly refuses to move when he's returned to the shelter. Our volunteers say about Kenny: "Kenny is a sweet, gentle giant with a lovable, soft face. He is highly motivated by treats and runs well on a leash after initial 10 minutes of excitement when he's outside. Kenny also has a crush, Tania, although it's one-sided. Poor Tania! Kenny is more interested in sniffing the grass. Oh, and he has absolutely refused to go back to the shelter, so I had to carry him. He looked so happy that I had to carry his huge body." Kenny's character is truly remarkable, and we are confident that you will fall in love with him too! Kenny is looking for a loving family that will give him love and cuddles and allow him to be the gentle giant he truly is for the rest of his life. Update on Kenny: Kenny seems gentle enough to get along with children. However, when other dogs approach him face to face, he shows aggression towards them. In the seven years at the shelter, he has changed cage mates about three times, all female, and he got along well with them, peacefully and without fighting. When he first arrived at the dog cafe, he marked his territory in the house and showed his dominance by wagging his tail. There were concerns that he might fight with other dogs, and therefore he could not be housed in a pack. It seems that he has not learned how to interact with other dogs and needs to socialize. The Korean animal welfare workers prepare the dogs well for a home. They are house-trained, social and friendly. The dogs go to foster homes in Korea so they can quickly feel safe and comfortable in a home. If you are interested in Kenny, please download the relevant self-disclosure and send it back to us completed. Thank you! Kenny is looking forward to your inquiry! ♥ More information: the dogs arrive in Germany with flight sponsors via Traces and the required health documents. They are vaccinated, chipped and dewormed. The animal welfare concerns and legal requirements are strictly adhered to. Important information: The exact date of birth is only communicated shortly before the flight, we only know the year of birth.

Kenny ist einer unserer Langzeitbewohner im Tierheim. Er ist seit August 2017 bei uns und hat den Großteil seines Lebens hier verbracht! Obwohl Kenny keine Familie hat, bleibt er unglaublich optimistisch und positiv. Er hat eine fröhliche Persönlichkeit und liebt es, Zeit im Freien mit den Freiwilligen zu verbringen. Spaziergänge, Kuscheln und die extra leckeren Leckerlis der Freiwilligen genießt er sehr. Kenny ist ein regelrechter Charmeur! Seine Zwingerkollegin, Tania, hat sich Hals über Kopf in ihn verliebt, und alle im Tierheim verehren Kenny. Oft kann man ihn fröhlich lächeln sehen, wenn er zurück ins Tierheim getragen wird, da er sich standhaft weigert, sich zu bewegen, wenn er jedes Mal ins Tierheim zurückkehrt.Das sagen unsere Freiwilligen über Kenny:"Kenny ist ein süßer, sanfter Riese mit einem liebenswerten, weichen Gesicht. Er lässt sich sehr von Leckerlis motivieren und läuft nach anfänglichen 10 Minuten der Aufregung, wenn er draußen ist, gut an der Leine. Kenny hat auch eine Bewunderin, Tania, obwohl es einseitig ist. Arme Tania! Kenny ist mehr daran interessiert, am Gras zu schnüffeln. Oh, und er hat sich absolut geweigert, ins Tierheim zurückzugehen, also musste ich ihn tragen. Er sah so glücklich aus, dass ich seinen riesigen Körper tragen musste."Kennys Charakter ist wirklich bemerkenswert, und wir sind zuversichtlich, dass auch Sie sich in ihn verlieben werden! Kenny sucht nach einer liebevollen Familie, die ihm Liebe und Kuscheleinheiten gibt und es ihm ermöglicht, für den Rest seines Lebens der sanfte Riese zu sein, der er wirklich ist. Update zu Kenny: Kenny scheint sanft genug zu sein, um gut mit Kindern auszukommen.Wenn sich ihm jedoch andere Hunde von Angesicht zu Angesicht nähern, zeigt er ihnen gegenüber Aggressionen. In den sieben Jahren im Tierheim hat er etwa dreimal die Zwingergenossen gewechselt, allesamt weiblich, und er kam gut mit ihnen aus, friedlich und ohne Kämpfe. Als er das erste Mal im Hundecafé ankam, markierte er sein Revier im Haus und zeigte seine Dominanz, indem er mit dem Schwanz wedelte. Es wurde sich gesorgt, dass er sich mit anderen Hunden streiten könnte, und deshalb konnte man ihn nicht im Rudel unterbringen. Es scheint, als hätte er den Umgang mit anderen Hunden nicht gelernt. Es wird vermutet, das er lernen muss, mit anderen Hunden zu interagieren und sich zu sozialisieren. Die koreanischen Tierschützer bereiten die Hunde gut auf ein Zuhause vor. Sie sind stubenrein, sozial und freundlich. Die Hunde gehen in Korea teilweise auf Pflegestellen, damit sie sich schnell in einem Zuhause wohl und sicher fühlen. Wenn Sie sich für Kenny interessieren, laden Sie bitte die entsprechende Selbstauskunft herunter und senden Sie uns diese ausgefüllt zu. Vielen Dank! Kenny freut sich auf deine Anfrage! ♥ Weitere Informationen: die Hunde kommen mit Flugpaten via Traces und den vorgeschriebenen Gesundheitsdokumenten nach Deutschland. Sie sind geimpft, gechipt und entwurmt. Es werden die Belangen des Tierschutzes und die gesetzlichen Vorgaben strikt eingehalten. Wichtige Info: Das genaue Geburtsdatum bekommen wir erst kurz vor Flug mitgeteilt, wir wissen nur das Geburtsjahr.

About Kenny

What life with Kenny looks like

Kenny is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at German Hands meet Korean Paws e.V. in Ebstorf.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kenny, answered.

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