Kiki

Female · Young · 1 year

Hey everyone, it's me, Kiki. I came to the animal shelter as a surrender dog in March 2025 and what can I say – I've taken the hearts of our staff by storm with my affectionate nature. I'm very optimistic that I'll also take the hearts of true herding dog lovers by storm. Over the past year, my trusted people have worked a lot with me to find a way together for me to cope with a world full of interesting stimuli and also to settle down. We've already come a very long way, so I also wish for a home where this loving consistency will be continued, so that I can keep making progress – keyword lifelong learning. I've also celebrated some successes with my two regular dog walkers. Even though I didn't make it easy for everyone involved at the beginning, and won't, I've shown everyone how much potential I have and that the sometimes nerve-wracking and probably lifelong training work is worth it. One of my biggest challenges is dog encounters on walks or in the animal shelter. When I see other dogs, I can't help it and I bark at the other dog very intensely. But here too, my trusted people have made progress with me, because through consistent work in everyday life I'm learning more and more. In direct dog encounters in our free runs, it also shows where my problem lies: I get really frustrated when I'm not allowed to "herd" the other dog. I live with Samy in a room – so it's always a matter of character and I'm not inherently incompatible with other dogs. As a herding dog, it's genetic in me to want to suppress dynamics – whether in other dogs or in people (adults and children). My favorite place in the animal shelter is definitely the office – you've surely seen me there once or twice. I love my office:

Hey Leute, ich bin’s Kiki. Ich kam als Abgabehund im März 2025 ins Tierheim und was soll ich sagen – ich habe die Herzen unserer Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter mit meiner liebevollen Art im Sturm erobert. Ich bin sehr optimistisch, dass ich auch die Herzen echter Hütehund-Liebhaber im Sturm erobern werde. Im vergangenen Jahr haben meine Bezugspersonen viel mit mir gearbeitet, um gemeinsam einen Weg zu finden, wie ich mit einer Welt voller interessanter Reize zurechtkomme und auch zur Ruhe komme. Wir sind schon sehr weit gekommen, daher wünsche ich mir auch ein Zuhause, in dem diese liebevolle Konsequenz weitergeführt wird, damit ich weiterhin Fortschritte machen kann – Stichwort lebenslanges Lernen. Auch mit meinen beiden Stamm-Gassigeherinnen habe ich schon einige Erfolge gefeiert. Auch wenn ich es allen Beteiligten anfangs nicht einfach gemacht habe und machen werde, habe ich allen gezeigt, wie viel Potenzial in mir steckt und dass sich die teils nervenaufreibende und wahrscheinlich auch lebenslange Erziehungsarbeit lohnt. Eine meiner größten Herausforderungen sind Hundebegegnungen beim Gassigehen oder im Tierheim. Wenn ich andere Hunde sehe, dann kann ich nicht anders und pöble den anderen Hund sehr intensiv an. Aber auch hier haben meine Bezugspersonen mit mir Fortschritte erzielt, da ich durch die konsequente Arbeit im Alltag immer mehr dazulerne. In direkten Hundebegegnungen in unseren Freiläufen zeigt sich auch, wo mein Problem liegt: Ich werde richtig frustriert, wenn ich den anderen Hund nicht „hüten“ darf. Ich lebe mit Samy in einem Zimmer – es ist also immer eine Frage des Charakters und ich bin nicht per se unverträglich mit anderen Hunden. Als Hütehund liegt es genetisch in mir, Dynamik – ob bei anderen Hunden oder auch bei Menschen (Erwachsene wie Kinder) – unterbinden zu wollen. Mein Lieblingsplatz im Tierheim ist definitiv das Büro – da habt ihr mich sicher schon das eine oder andere Mal gesehen. Ich liebe mein Büro: Es ist viel ruhiger als im Hund

About Kiki

What life with Kiki looks like

Kiki is a young adult dog waiting at Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main in Germany.

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 Kiki, answered.

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