Kenzi

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Senior · 9 years

Kenzie ist eine Hündin, die zunächst mit etwas Zurückhaltung auf unbekannte Menschen reagiert. In neuen Situationen zeigt sie sich anfangs ängstlich und misstrauisch. Ist jedoch ihre vertraute Bezugsperson an ihrer Seite, fasst sie schneller Mut – dann gewinnt ihre Neugier, und sie beginnt, die Umgebung interessierter zu erkunden. Menschen gegenüber hat sie bei uns noch nie aggressives Verhalten gezeigt.Im Tierheim ist Kenzie bei Mitarbeitenden und Gassigänger*innen gleichermaßen beliebt. Sie zeigt sich bei vertrauten Personen gelehrig, aufmerksam und gut abrufbar. Auch ihr Grundgehorsam entwickelt sich stetig weiter.Kenzie besitzt einen ausgeprägten Jagdtrieb: Mäuse, Katzen oder Vögel können schnell ihr Interesse wecken. In solchen Situationen macht sie einen Satz nach vorne – lässt sich aber zuverlässig unterbrechen, wenn man sie rechtzeitig anspricht oder zurückruft.Mit anderen Hunden ist Kenzie größtenteils gut verträglich, allerdings kommt sie bei hundebegegnungen auf Spaziergängen leider oft in die Aggression.Mit Rüden kommt sie meist gut aus; derzeit lebt sie problemlos mit unserem Rüden Bastos im gemeinsamen Zwinger. Bei Hündinnen entscheidet, wie so oft, die Sympathie. Im Spiel kann Kenzie auch mal frech, wild und übermütig werden – Bastos muss dann etwas Geduld mitbringen. Sie lässt sich in solchen Momenten aber gut zur Ruhe bringen.Wir wünschen uns für Kenzie ein Zuhause bei hundeerfahrenen Menschen, die ihr mit Ruhe, Geduld und Klarheit Sicherheit geben – und ihr die Zeit lassen, Vertrauen aufzubauen.Kenzie ist aufgrund eines Beissvorfalles mit einem anderen Hund eingestuft.

About Kenzi

What life with Kenzi looks like

Kenzi is a senior staffordshire bull terrier dog waiting at Bertha-Bruch-Tierheim Saarbrücken in Saarbrücken.

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 Kenzi, answered.

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