Kimberly

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Kimberly, a female puppy, born around July 2025, with a shoulder height of approximately 40-42 cm and a weight of around 7.2 kg (8.5-9 kg would be better), is looking for a new home starting in early October. Kimberly is an outgoing, incredibly sweet and very people-oriented young female. She seeks active human interaction, enjoys attention and brings good mood with her open nature. 🤍 Kimberly was born in July 2025. She is currently living in a shelter and is waiting to finally find her forever home. This step will also be a big change for her, because what is everyday for us will be a completely new world for her in a new home: different sounds, smells, people, routines and countless new impressions. Therefore, she should be given the opportunity to arrive at her own pace and get to know everything step by step. That's why we are looking for people who will give Kimberly the time to settle in and discover the new world step by step. She should not have to learn everything at once, but rather build trust with her humans and gradually arrive in her new daily life. Kimberly is expected to be ready to travel from early October and could soon pack her suitcase. Who gives this enchanting mouse the chance she deserves? We do not mediate in very urban living situations or in families with young children. Please only submit an adoption request if the takeover is possible at the time mentioned in the text & you have already discussed the adoption of a new family member with your family (if necessary, other involved persons such as employer, landlord, interim care). Please note that the dogs described here are currently in their large-scale care facility or in the shelter in a limited, safe environment and have little contact with other people or environmental stimuli outside the property. The descriptions are based on the behavior in this familiar environment. Especially puppies and young dogs are still in the development of their character. For a successful settling in a new home, they need time, patience and loving guidance to get used to the new environment and the various stimuli and grow into confident dogs.

Hündin Kimberly, geboren ca. Juli 2025, Schulterhöhe ca. 40-42 cm, ca. 7,2 Kilo Gewicht (8,5-9 kg wären besser), Körbchen ab Anfang Oktober gesucht. Kimberly ist eine aufgeschlossene, unglaublich süße und sehr menschenbezogene junge Hündin. Sie sucht aktive die Nähe zu Menschen, freut sich über Aufmerksamkeit und bringt mit ihrer offenen Art einfach gute Laune mit. 🤍 Geboren wurde Kimberly im Juli 2025. Aktuell lebt sie noch im Tierheim und wartet darauf, endlich ihr eigenes Zuhause kennenzulernen. Für sie wird dieser Schritt auch eine große Veränderung sein, denn was für uns ganz alltäglich ist, wird für sie in einem neuen Zuhause zunächst eine völlig neue Welt sein: andere Geräusche, Gerüche, Menschen, Abläufe und unzählige neue Eindrücke. Deshalb sollte sie die Möglichkeit bekommen, in ihrem eigenen Tempo anzukommen und alles Schritt für Schritt kennenzulernen. Deshalb wünschen wir uns Menschen, die Kimberly die Zeit geben, in Ruhe anzukommen und die neue Welt Schritt für Schritt zu entdecken. Sie soll nicht sofort alles können oder kennenlernen müssen, sondern gemeinsam mit ihren Menschen Vertrauen aufbauen und nach und nach in ihrem neuen Alltag ankommen dürfen. Kimberly ist voraussichtlich ab Anfang Oktober reisefertig und könnte schon bald ihr Köfferchen packen. Wer gibt dieser bezaubernden Maus die Chance die sie verdient? Wir vermitteln nicht in sehr städtische Wohnlage sowie in Familien mit Kleinkindern. Bitte stellen Sie nur eine Adoptionsanfrage, wenn die Übernahme zum im Text genannten Zeitpunkt möglich ist & Sie die Aufnahme eines neuen Familienmitglieds bereits mit Ihrer Familie (ggf. weiteren involvierten Personen wie Arbeitgeber, Vermieter, Zwischenbetreuung) besprochen haben. Bitte beachten Sie, dass sich die hier beschriebenen Hunde derzeit in ihrer Großpflegestelle oder im Tierheim in einer begrenzten, sicheren Umgebung aufhalten und wenig Kontakt zu anderen Menschen oder Umweltreizen außerhalb des Grundstücks haben. Die Beschreibungen basieren auf dem Verhalten in dieser vertrauten Umgebung. Insbesondere Welpen und Junghunde sind zudem noch in der Entwicklung ihres Charakters. Für eine erfolgreiche Eingewöhnung in ein neues Zuhause benötigen sie Zeit, Geduld und liebevolle Anleitung, um sich an die neue Umgebung und die verschiedenen Reize zu gewöhnen und zu sicheren Hunden heranzuwachsen.

About Kimberly

What life with Kimberly looks like

Kimberly is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Kreta Hunde (Tierschutz Heraklion) in Germany.

An young 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 Kimberly, answered.

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