Kobold

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy

Kobold Description Kobold moved into a foster basket in Dusseldorf at the beginning of May '26. He is a sensitive dog who initially showed great caution towards people, kept his distance and avoided contact. However, he has now made some small progress: He sniffs curiously at outstretched hands, seeks the company of his humans more often and allows himself to be gently stroked on the neck and back. Kobold gets along very well with the two female dog in the household. He strongly orientates himself towards them, seeks their company and enjoys the security they provide. He even plays occasionally with one of the female dog. Overall, he appears social and friendly. New impressions and walks still mean great stress for Kobold. He reacts scared

Kobold Beschreibung Kobold ist Anfang Mai 2026 in ein freies Pflegekörbchen nach Essen gezogen. Er ist ein sensibler Rüde, der Menschen gegenüber anfangs sehr vorsichtig ist und sie aus sicherem Abstand beobachtet. Inzwischen macht er jedoch große Fortschritte: Er schnuppert neugierig an ausgestreckten Händen, sucht die Nähe seiner Bezugspersonen und lässt sich gerne streicheln. Besonders das Kraulen an Hals und Rücken genießt er sehr. Mit den beiden Hündinnen im Haushalt versteht sich Kobold bestens. Er orientiert sich stark an ihnen, sucht ihre Nähe und gewinnt durch sie Sicherheit. Mit der spielfreudigeren Hündin lässt er sich inzwischen auch gerne zum Spielen animieren. Immer mehr zeigt sich Kobolds ganz eigene Persönlichkeit. Er ist ein kleiner Sammler: Interessante Dinge wie Spielzeu

About Kobold

What life with Kobold looks like

Kobold is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutz-Team e.V. in Germany.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪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 Kobold, answered.

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