KESSY

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Breed: mixed breed Project: Greece/Lesbos (0, 05/2026) Gender: female/neutered Age: born 10.02.2025 Size: approx. 30 cm Weight: approx. 5 kg Other: still shy and reserved, friendly Current Location: foster family in Baden-Württemberg KESSY's Story KESSY, possibly a Dachshund-mix, is a gentle female dog who still reacts shyly and reservedly to people. Much is still new to her, so she needs time to build trust and realize that human proximity can be something beautiful. With patience, kindness, and consistent love, KESSY shows small daily progress in her foster family. Step by step, she becomes braver and more open. She still needs to learn that cuddles can be something beautiful. Behind her cautious nature lies a curious, friendly soul who would love to relax, especially in a sunny spot in the garden. This is a current and ongoing assessment of KESSY. How she will behave in the future, especially after moving into a new home, we cannot predict. Every animal, like us humans, will change and continue to develop. But with the right, patient, and loving guidance, KESSY will develop into a wonderful family companion. KESSY is age-appropriately vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, treated for endo- and ectoparasites, and tested negative for so-called Mediterranean diseases. For KESSY, we wish for a more quiet, rural home where she can arrive without pressure. People with hearts, understanding, and empathy will find a loyal companion in her and experience the beauty of watching her trust grow. Who will give Kessy the time and security she deserves?

Rasse: Mischling Projekt: Griechenland/Lesbos (0, 05/2026) Geschlecht: weiblich/kastriert Alter: geb. 10.02.2025 Größe: ca. 30 cm SH Gewicht: ca. 5 kg Sonstiges: noch schüchtern und zurückhaltend, freundlich Aktueller Aufenthaltsort: Pflegefamilie in Baden-Württemberg KESSY’s Geschichte KESSY, evtl. ein Zwergspaniel-Mix, ist eine sanfte Hündin, die noch etwas schüchtern und zurückhaltend auf Menschen reagiert. Vieles ist für sie noch ungewohnt, deshalb braucht sie Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen und zu erkennen, dass menschliche Nähe etwas Schönes sein kann. Mit Ruhe, Geduld und liebevoller Konsequenz zeigt KESSY jeden Tag kleine Fortschritte in ihrer Pflegefamilie. Schritt für Schritt wird sie mutiger und öffnet sich. Sie muss noch lernen, dass Streicheleinheiten etwas Schönes sind. Hinter ihrer vorsichtigen Art steckt eine neugierige, freundliche Seele, die gerne entspannt, besonders an einem sonnigen Plätzchen im Garten. Das ist eine momentane und aktuelle Einschätzung zu KESSY. Wie sie sich in der Zukunft, vor allem nach einem Umzug in ein neues Zuhause zeigen wird, können wir nicht voraussagen. Jedes Tier, wie auch wir Menschen, wird sich verändern und weiterentwickeln. Aber mit der richtigen, geduldigen und liebevollen Führung wird sich KESSY zu einer tollen Familienbegleiterin entwickeln. KESSY ist altersentsprechend geimpft, gechipt, kastriert, gegen Endo- und Ektoparasiten behandelt und auf die sogenannten Mittelmeerkrankheiten negativ getestet. Für KESSY wünschen wir uns ein eher ruhiges, ländliches Zuhause, in dem sie ohne Druck ankommen darf. Menschen mit Herz, Verständnis und Einfühlungsvermögen werden in ihr eine treue Begleiterin finden und erleben dürfen, wie schön es ist, ihr Vertrauen wachsen zu sehen. Wer schenkt Kessy die Zeit und Geborgenheit, die sie verdient? 🧡

About KESSY

What life with KESSY looks like

KESSY is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierisch Grenzenlos e.V. in Bamberg.

An 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. 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 KESSY, answered.

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