Kicka

German Shepherd · Female · Young · 3 years

Kicka und ihre Mutter Wila hatten ursprünglich ein gutes Zuhause. Als ihre Besitzerin umziehen musste, ließ sie die beiden Hündinnen bei ihrer Mutter in dem Glauben, dass es ihnen dort gut ginge. Bei der Mutter mussten die beiden aber draußen im Müll leben und wurden auch beide gedeckt. Kicka ist eine eher scheue und unsichere Hündin, die bei fremden Menschen erstmal versucht zu flüchten, aber nicht aggressiv reagiert. Im Tierheim war es schwierig, sie anzuleinen. An der Leine verändert sie sich jedoch völlig, lässt sich streicheln und sucht Schutz und Sicherheit beim Menschen. An der Leine geht sie vorbildlich. Außerhalb des Tierheims bindet sie sich stark an ihre Bezugsperson. Mit anderen Hunden kommt sie gut zurechtkommt und ist sehr verträglich. Kicka ist eine sehr ausdrucksstarke Hündin mit wunderschönen Augen, die mal fröhlich, mal ängstlich oder auch selbstbewusst in die Welt schaut. Wie bei ihrer Mutter werden Menschen, die am Zwinger vorbeigehen, gerne angekläfft.

About Kicka

What life with Kicka looks like

Kicka is a medium-sized young adult german shepherd dog waiting at Waisenhunde e.V. in Wöllstadt.

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 Kicka, answered.

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