Kirin

Mixed Breed · Male

Description: Our animal welfare advocates report: Kirin originally comes from Ovidiu, Romania, and has been in foster care in Germany for quite some time, where he’s thriving beautifully 🏡🐶. Actually, he was supposed to stay there forever, but now the work schedule has changed, leaving too little time for Kirin, so his almost-owner has made the heart-wrenching decision to give him up. Kirin is a wonderful dog who was very shy at first, but over time he gained more and more trust and developed into an amazing companion. Initially, he’s rather reserved around men, but he’s more relaxed with women—and he quickly integrates into a family. He’s a young, energetic dog who loves long walks, enjoys playing with other dogs, and loves spending time in nature. Kirin truly is a dream dog: he’s house-trained and gets along superbly with other dogs. He also really likes cats—he’s lived alongside 10 cats! He’s playful, yet he already walks very well on a leash and can handle being left alone—though unfortunately, he’s had to do that more often lately, and he’s handled it with flying colors. He’s also familiar with children and has no problems around them. Since he was very fearful and reserved at first, he’ll probably experience a bit of a setback in his new—hopefully permanent—home. That’s why he needs sensitive people who will give him time to settle in and build trust. At first, he’s afraid of men, but that fear gradually subsides; he trusts women more quickly. Therefore, it would be ideal if the adopter already has experience with dogs. He’s an incredibly sweet and handsome dog, with his dark mask and still-present uncertainty in his eyes—but you can clearly see how lively and enthusiastic he can become once he’s fully settled in. Kirin will be a loyal companion for active people who will stand by his side through thick and thin. ❤️ Please note: The feedback from the foster homes reflects the current behavior of the dogs here.

Beschreibung Unsere Tierschützer berichten: Kirin kommt ursprünglich aus Ovidiu/Rumänien und ist seit geraumer Zeit auf einer Pflegestelle in Deutschland, in der er sich prächtig entwickelt hat 🏡🐶. Eigentlich sollte er dort für immer bleiben, aber nun haben sich die Arbeitszeiten verändert und für Kirin ist zu wenig Zeit da, so dass die Fast-Besitzerin sich schweren Herzens entschlossen hat ihn abzugeben.Kirin ist ein toller Hund, der am Anfang sehr scheu war, aber im Laufe der Zeit immer mehr Vertrauen gewann und sich prima entwickelte. Männern gegenüber ist er anfangs ziemlich zurückhaltend, bei Frauen ist er entspannter, wobei er sich in eine Familie schnell integriert. Er ist ein junger, sportlicher Hund, der lange Spaziergänge mag, gerne mit anderen Hunden spielt und sich gerne in der Natur aufhält. Kirin ist wirklich ein Traumhund, er ist stubenrein und verträgt sich super mit anderen Hunden. Auch Katzen mag er sehr gern, er hat mit 10 Katzen zusammengelebt. Er ist verspielt, aber kann bereits sehr gut an der Leine laufen und kann auch gut alleine bleiben, das musste er seit einiger Zeit leider öfter, aber er hat es mit Bravour geschafft. Auch Kinder kennt er bereits und hat keine Probleme mit ihnen. Da er am Anfang sehr viel Angst hatte und sehr zurückhaltend war, wird er vermutlich in seiner neuen – hoffentlich dann Endstelle – wahrscheinlich einen kleinen Rückfall erleiden. Daher braucht er einfühlsame Menschen, die ihm Zeit geben anzukommen und Vertrauen zu fassen. Bei Männern hat er erst mal Angst, das legt sich aber, Frauen vertraut er schneller. Daher wäre es gut, wenn jemand schon Erfahrungen mit Hunden hat. Er ist ein unglaublich süßer und hübscher Hund mit seiner dunklen Maske und seiner noch vorhandenen Unsicherheit in den Augen, man kann aber gut erkennen, wie ausgelassen und begeisterungsfähig er sein kann, wenn er angekommen ist. Kirin wird für aktive Menschen ein treuer Begleiter werden, der mit seinen Menschen durch Dick und Dünn geht. ❤️ Bitte beachten Sie:Die Rückmeldungen der Pflegestellen spiegeln das aktuelle Verhalten der hier zur

About Kirin

What life with Kirin looks like

Kirin is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierischgeholfen e.V. in Germany.

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 Kirin, answered.

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