Kina

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Kina came to us some time ago as a rescue dog from a friend's association. Together with Mara, both are anxious foreign dogs. Kina is preparing for her new beginning. Currently, she is being prepared for a domestic environment in caring care to achieve further progress in environmental habituation. Small steps, Kina is sensitive and highly intelligent. Of course, she still has a way to go, must still be gently, but also consistently, accustomed to many everyday moments, so that the cheerful girl has a cheerful life ahead of her. Nevertheless, we would like to place Kina in experienced hands and not withhold her from possible interested parties. The foster home will accompany Kina on her journey and make an introduction possible in consultation. She is still uncertain and sometimes gets in her own way. Kina enjoys attention and petting, as long as she is not pressed. She masters veterinary examinations bravely, with a muzzle for safety. She has also met him here. Double security should be a matter of course, also a visit to a dog school, to make further progress with Kina. And to enable her contact with conspecifics, with them Kina is well-suited and a life as a second dog would do her good. Who wants to win Kina's trust and discover the world with her?

Kina kam vor geraumer Zeit als Übernahmehund eines befreundeten Vereins zu uns. Gemeinsam mit Mara, beide sind ängstliche Auslandshunde. Kina bereitet sich auf Ihren Neuanfang vor. Aktuell wird daran gearbeitet, sie auf ein häusliches Umfeld in pfleglicher Betreuung vorzubereiten, um weitere Fortschritte in Sachen Umweltgewöhnung zu erzielen. Kleinschrittig, Kina ist sensibel und hochintelligent. Natürlich hat sie noch einen Weg vor sich, muss noch behutsam, aber auch konsequent, an viele Alltagsmomente gewöhnt werden, damit das fröhliche Mädchen ein fröhliches Leben vor sich hat. Trotzdem möchten wir Kina gern möglichst in Angsthunderfahrene Hände vermitteln und sie möglichen Interessenten nicht vorenthalten. Die Pflegestelle wird uns auf Kinas Reise mitnehmen und in Absprache ein Kennenlernen ermöglichen. Noch unsicher steht sie sich manchmal selbst im Weg. Inzwischen genießt Kina Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheiten, wenn sie nicht dabei bedrängt wird. Tierarztuntersuchungen meistert sie bravurös, sicherheitshalber mit Maulkorb. Auch den hat sie bei uns kennengelernt. Doppelsicherung sollte selbstverständlich sein, auch der Besuch einer Hundeschule, um weiter mit Kina voranzukommen. Und ihr Kontakt zu Artgenossen zu ermöglichen, mit ihnen ist Kina gut verträglich und ein Leben als Zweithund würde ihr gut tun. Wer möchte Kinas Vertrauen gewinnen und mit ihr gemeinsam die Welt entdecken?

About Kina

What life with Kina looks like

Kina is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Schkortitz in Grimma.

An 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 Kina, answered.

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