Kim

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

🐾 🍀 Careful. Smart. Wonderful 💚🐾 INFO: Kim is currently in foster care. Kim is developing very well, but has already returned because he was initially very suspicious of strangers. He absolutely needs one or more dogs in his new home! Dogs like him require a bit more time, experience, and calm, clear leadership—and that’s exactly what Kim is getting from us. He’s being intensively supported and has already made great progress in a short period of time. Kim doesn’t have a “difficult” basic character; at heart, he’s rather balanced dog who needs to learn to trust people. He’s well socialized with other dogs. With the right companion dog, he could find his bearings and gain even more confidence. We’re looking for calm, adult people who understand that this dog doesn’t want to be overly pampered—he can certainly be a bit stubborn too. He needs a home that continues to support him lovingly, patiently, and consistently, without underestimating or coddling him out of pity. Anyone who gives him this chance will most likely have a wonderful little guy by their side. We expect that with further stability and good guidance, Kim will soon become a confident companion. Currently, he’s with a dog trainer who’s working intensively with him and teaching him many things. We’d also be happy to continue supporting him after adoption. Kim will be a great dog!

🐾 🍀 Vorsichtig. Klug. Wundervoll 💚🐾 INFO: Kim ist aktuell auf Pflegestelle Kim entwickelt sich sehr gut, kam jedoch schon zurück, weil er am anfang sehr misstrauisch gegenüber fremden Menschen1Er benötigt unbedingt einen oder mehrere Hunde in seinem neuen Zuhause!Solche Hunde brauchen etwas mehr Zeit, Erfahrung und eine ruhige, klare Führung – und genau das bekommt Kim bei uns. Er wird intensiv gefördert und hat in kurzer Zeit schon tolle Fortschritte gemacht. Kim hat keinen „schwierigen“ Grundcharakter, sondern ist im Kern ein eher ausgeglichener Hund, der lernen muss, Menschen zu vertrauen. Mit anderen Hunden ist er gut sozialisiert. An einem passenden Hund könnte er sich orientieren und zusätzliche Sicherheit gewinnen.Für Kim suchen wir ruhige, erwachsene Menschen mit Verständnis für einen Hund, der nicht geschniegelt gefallen möchte, sondern durchaus auch ein wenig eigensinnig ist. Er braucht ein Zuhause, das ihn liebevoll, geduldig und konsequent weiter fördert, ohne ihn aus Mitleid zu unterschätzen oder zu schonen. Wer ihm diese Chance gibt, wird sehr wahrscheinlich einen ganz tollen kleinen Kerl an seiner Seite haben.Wir gehen davon aus, dass Kim mit weiterer Stabilität und guter Führung bald ein sicherer Begleiter wird.Aktuell befindet er sich bei einer Hundetrainerin, die intensiv mit ihm Arbeit und ihm vieles beibringt. gerne unterstützen wir auch noch nach der Übernahme. Kim wird ein toller Hund!

About Kim

What life with Kim looks like

Kim is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz Kinzig-Main e.V. (Tierheim Gelnhausen) 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 Kim, answered.

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