***Kimba***

American Bully · Female · Young · 2 years

A very cuddly Magic mouse named Kimba, an XL-sized American Bully female dog, is a 4-year-old who was dropped off at our animal shelter just under 4 weeks ago. In the short time she's been with us, she's already won many hearts. Kimba is a very people-friendly female dog who also grew up with children and horses. At her previous home, she lived for 2 years with her mother dog, her sister, her brother, and another female dog in a pack. Sadly, about a year ago, Kimba's mother passed away due to the complications of a uterine infection. This is when the problems began. After the loss of the mother dog, Kimba and her sister started having increasingly serious disagreements, which often ended in severe biting attacks. Since then, frustration has also built up towards other dogs, and as a result, walks have become increasingly difficult. The family has tried everything to get this (dangerous) situation under control, but unfortunately, it hasn't been successful. About a year and a quarter ago, a private search for a wonderful new home for Kimba began, but it ended with her spending the last week with interested parties (who were informed about the issues with dogs), but they quickly realized they weren't up to the challenge. Currently, we only want to introduce Kimba. This animal was surrendered to the shelter.

Eine sehr verschmuste Zaubermaus in XL Größe Kimba ist eine 4-jährige American Bully XL Hündin, die vor knapp 4 Wochen bei uns im Tierheim abgegeben wurde. In der kurzen Zeit, in der sie bei uns ist, erobert sie schon ganz fleißig Herzen. Kimba ist eine sehr Menschenfreundliche Hündin, die auch mit Kindern und Pferden groß geworden ist. Bei ihrer Vorbesitzerin hat sie 2 Jahre lang mit der Mutterhündin, ihrer Schwester, ihrem Bruder und einer weiteren Hündin im Rudel gelebt. Traurigerweise ist vor ca 1 Jahr Kimbas Mutter an den Folgen einer Gebärmuttervereiterung verstorben. Hiermit fingen dann leider auch die Probleme an. Nach dem Tod des Muttertiers fingen Kimba und ihre Schwester an immer gravierendere Auseinandersetzungen zu haben, die immer häufiger in schweren Beißattacken endeten. Seitdem hat sich immer mehr Frust auch anderen Hunden gegenüber aufgebaut und entsprechend wurden auch die Spaziergänge immer schwieriger. Die Familie hat alles versucht um diese (gefährlichen) Situationen wieder in den Griff zu kriegen, jedoch leider erfolglos. Vor einem 3/4 Jahr ging dann die private Suche nach einem tollen neuen Zuhause für Kimba los, endete aber damit, dass sie zuletzt 1 Woche bei Interessenten war ( wurden über die Problematik mit Hunden aufgeklärt), welche aber schnell gemerkt haben, dass sie dem nicht gewachsen sind. Aktuell möchten wir Kimba erst nur vorstellen. Sie geht noch nicht aktiv in die

About ***Kimba***

What life with ***Kimba*** looks like

***Kimba*** is a young adult american bully dog waiting at Tierheim Drakenburg in Drakenburg.

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 ***Kimba***, answered.

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