Adopt Kenzo B

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Kenzo, born in January 2021, is a roughly 49 cm tall and 17 kg heavy Herder-Mix dog— a dog with great potential and a very pleasant nature. He is friendly and open towards humans and meets new situations attentively but calmly. Kenzo gets along well with other dogs; even leash encounters proceed smoothly without any problems. A small peculiarity makes Kenzo something quite unique: he has a short tail that he likely was born with. This doesn't restrict his joy in life in any way. For Kenzo, we wish for a dog-loving home with people who will treat him fairly— with enough movement, beautiful walks, and preferably also a little task that keeps him physically and mentally engaged. In him lies a dog who wants to please and, with some time, patience, and loving guidance, will surely develop into a loyal, dependable companion. He brings the best prerequisites for this, growing closely together with his people. Kenzo is no longer a "Hans Dampf in allen Gassen," but he still finds great pleasure in discovering the world and enjoying shared moments with his people. A heartworm test conducted in December 2023 was positive. He has completed his treatment. A Caniv 4 D test will follow soon.💛 Who would like to give this special dog a home and show him how wonderful life can be? We are happy to answer your questions.

About Kenzo B

What life with Kenzo B looks like

Kenzo B is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hundepfoten Steinfurt e.V. in Nordwalde.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. 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. 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 Kenzo B, answered.

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