How do I contact the shelter about Kito?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kito on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kito if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pfotenhilfe Sauerland 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 Kito 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 Kito 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 Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kito 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.

Kito

Dachshund · Female · Young · 3 years

Kito waits in our partner animal shelter Allatbarat in Hungary for the people who will show her that life can also have beautiful sides. Our Kito comes from a poor neighborhood, where she had to live chained to an old armchair. Unfortunately, Kito has not been able to experience much more in her life so far. The change is therefore all the greater for her now. Currently, Kito still appears very uncertain and skeptical of people in the shelter. She prefers to keep her distance as soon as you enter the kennel and observes from a safe distance first. It is noticeable that she simply does not know what to make of all the new impressions. We hope that Kito will soon realize that nobody in our partner animal shelter wants to do her any harm and that she can gradually gain trust. As soon as Kito makes progress, we will of course publish an update. Kito does not yet know life as a family dog. She must first learn everyday routines, environmental stimuli and the dog ABC. She shows herself to be compatible with other dogs and lives problem-free in a mixed dog group. We are looking for a quieter environment for Kito; the big city would certainly not be a suitable place for her. We are looking for a loving home with confident and patient people who give her time to settle in. People who convey security, strengthen her self-confidence and accompany her step by step into a happy and stable dog life.

Kito wartet in unserem Partnertierheim Allatbarat in Ungarn auf die Menschen, die ihr zeigen, dass das Leben auch schöne Seiten haben kann. Unsere Kito stammt aus einem Armenviertel, wo sie als Kettenhund leben musste – angekettet an einem alten Sessel. Viel mehr hat Kito in ihrem bisherigen Leben leider nicht kennenlernen dürfen. Umso größer ist für sie jetzt die Umstellung. Aktuell zeigt sich Kito im Tierheim noch sehr unsicher und skeptisch gegenüber Menschen. Sie hält lieber Abstand, sobald man den Zwinger betritt und beobachtet erst einmal aus sicherer Entfernung. Man merkt ihr an, dass sie einfach noch nicht weiß, was sie von all den neuen Eindrücken halten soll. Wir hoffen, dass Kito schon bald merkt, dass ihr in unserem Partnertierheim niemand etwas Böses möchte und sie Schritt für Schritt Vertrauen fassen kann. Sobald Kito Fortschritte macht, werden wir natürlich ein Update veröffentlichen. Das Leben als Familienhund kennt Kito noch nicht. Alltagsroutinen, Umweltreize und das Hunde-ABC muss sie erst kennenlernen. Mit anderen Hunden zeigt sie sich verträglich und lebt problemlos in einer gemischten Hundegruppe. Für Kito wünschen wir uns ein ruhigeres Umfeld, die Großstadt wäre sicherlich kein passender Ort für sie. Wir suchen ein liebevolles Zuhause bei souveränen und geduldigen Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben anzukommen. Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit vermitteln, ihr Selbstvertrauen stärken und sie Schritt für Schritt in ein glückliches und beständiges Hundeleben begleiten.

About Kito

What life with Kito looks like

Kito is a small young adult dachshund dog waiting at Pfotenhilfe Sauerland e.V. in Marsberg.

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.
