Kovo

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Labrador-MixRüde; born: 19.04.2014; Fremde: friendly; Rüden: ?; female dogs: ?; Katzen: ?; Kleintiere: ? Kovo came in as a found dog in November to our animal shelter. He was microchipped and registered, but at Tasso, they could only tell us his exact birthdate and "owner deceased." Unfortunately, we know nothing about his previous life. In the animal shelter, he shows a loving and unobtrusive nature, but with strangers, he is more distant and shy. Therefore, we are looking for people who can give him time to get used to them. During walks, he behaves well and ignores all dogs, vehicles, and people.

Labrador-MixRüdegeboren: 19.04.2014Fremde: freundlichRüden: ?Hündinnen: ?Katzen: ?Kleintiere: ? Kovo kam im November als Fundhund in unser Tierheim. Er war gechippt und registriert, bei Tasso konnte man uns jedoch nur sein genaues Geburtsdatum und „Besitzer verstorben“ mitteilen.Wir wissen leider daher über sein bisheriges Leben nichts. Im Tierheim zeigt er sich lieb und unauffällig, bei fremden Menschen eher distanziert und schüchtern. Daher suchen wir Menschen die ihm die Zeit geben sich an sie zu gewöhnen. Beim Gassi zeigt er sich brav und ignoriert alle Hunde, Fahrzeuge und Menschen.

About Kovo

What life with Kovo looks like

Kovo is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hedwig-Trampert-Tierheim Dillingen in Dillingen.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪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 Kovo, answered.

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