Kika

Mixed Breed · Female

Kika, our beautiful dog with the charming floppy ear is a sensitive, very affectionate female dog who loves her human. Not pushy, obedient, lovable and open-minded – this is how one could describe her wonderful character. The female dog loves walks, is very active, but because of an amputated toe, she is not a long-distance runner. Therefore, several walk rounds a day are better for her than long hikes. Also, when there are too many stairs, the female dog behaves a bit hesitantly. The intelligent Kika is looking for a home with people who will challenge her a little and keep her smart mind occupied. Of course, the beloved cuddles should not be neglected. A rural area and a garden would be ideal, and she would have no objections to a nice, not too rambunctious dog companion.

DE·Show original

Kika, unsere Schöne mit dem bezaubernden Schlappohr ist eine feinfühlige, sehr anschmiegsame Hündin, die ihren Menschen liebt. Nicht aufdringlich, folgsam, liebenswert und aufgeschlossen – so könnte man ihren wunderbaren Charakter beschreiben. Das Hundemädchen liebt Spaziergänge, ist sehr bewegungsfreudig, aber durch eine amputierte Zehe keine Langstreckenläuferin. Mehrere Gassi-Runden am Tag sind deshalb für sie besser geeignet als große Wanderungen. Auch bei allzu vielen Treppen verhält sich die Hündin etwas zögerlich. Die intelligente Kika sucht ein Zuhause bei Menschen, die sie ein wenig fordern und ihr kluges Köpfchen beschäftigen. Selbstverständlich dürfen auch die geliebten Streicheleinheiten nicht zu kurz kommen. Eine ländliche Gegend und ein Garten wären optimal und gegen einen feinen, nicht zu stürmischen Hundekumpel hätte sie nichts einzuwenden.

About Kika

What life with Kika looks like

Kika is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierhilfe Franken e.V. in Lauf.

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 Kika, answered.

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