Kristina

Mixed Breed · Male

Unfortunately, Kristina has been waiting in vain so far, but we are sure that somewhere there is the right person waiting for this friendly, modest female dog. During our visit in late October, Kristina showed herself to be very open and friendly once again. She was so excited to see me sitting on the ground that she immediately crawled onto my lap and didn’t want to leave. Unfortunately, this cuddle attack was not filmed. She adores being stroked and will literally throw herself at someone’s feet. Kristina longs for a person who will accompany her. During our visit in mid-November 22, we met Kristina and were very enthusiastic about her. She is also open and friendly towards strangers and begs for attention and cuddles. We wouldn’t have recognized her from her appearance. She has gained some weight, which suits her well, and she has some gray hairs on her snout. This is probably due to the animal shelter stress. In the exercise yard, Kristina jumps up and down excitedly to be seen. When standing in front of the exercise yard, she presses her head firmly against it and enjoys physical contact. In the run, Kristina gets along well with the charming male dog Woody. Kristina has survived the heartworm infection; she tested negative in the rapid test. Now, all that is needed is a loving home where Kristina can experience love and security. Kristina was found homeless on the street in Hungary. Where she came from is unknown, and the neighbors had never seen her before. She was probably simply abandoned. Kristina is very people-friendly and is easy to handle. She is happy when someone at the animal shelter finds time for her, then she jumps around the exercise yard in joy. At first, Kristina did not get along well with other dogs. We suspect that she did not have the opportunity to develop social contacts in the past and acts insecurely or defensively. In the meantime, she has become friends with the male dog Pelle and shares the exercise yard with him. During the vet check-up, she was also very well-behaved and allowed blood to be taken without complaint. Unfortunately, Kristina tested positive for Anaplasmosis and heartworm. Ehrlichiosis and Borreliosis were negative. Treatment was started immediately. Kristina has now been heartworm-free. We suspect that Kristina is a mix of a hunting dog. In any case, she is energetic and agile. We wish for Kristina an active home, preferably one that engages in activities such as running, hiking, or dog sports.

Leider musste Kristina bisher vergeblich warten, aber wir sind uns sicher, dass irgendwo der richtige Mensch auf diese freundliche , bescheidene Hündin wartet. Bei unserem Besuch Ende Oktober zeigte sich Kristina erneut sehr offen und freundlich. Sie war so begeistert, mich auf dem Boden sitzen zu sehen, dass sie gleich auf meinen Schoss krabbelte und gar nicht mehr fort wollte. Leider wurde diese Kuschelattacke nicht gefilmt. Streicheln liebt sie über alles und schmeißt sich einem regelrecht vor die Füße. Kristina sehnt sich nach einem Menschen, den sie begleiten darf. Bei unserem Besuch Mitte November 22 haben wir Kristina kennengelernt und sind sehr begeistert von ihr. Sie ist auch Fremden gegenüber offen und freundlich und buhlt um Aufmerksamkeit und Streicheleinheiten. Vom Aussehen hätten wir sie bald nicht wiedererkannt. Sie hat etwas Gewicht zugelegt, was ihr aber auch gut steht und erste graue Haare zieren die Schnauze. Vermutlich ist dies dem Tierheimstress geschuldet. Im Zwinger springt Kristina aufgeregt auf und ab, um auch ja gesehen zu werden. Steht man vor dem Zwinger, drückt sie ganz feste ihren Kopf dagegen und genießt Körperkontakt. Im Freilauf ist Kristina mit dem charmanten Rüden Woody zusammen, mit dem sie sich gut versteht. Kristina hat die Herzwurminfektion überstanden, sie wurde sie im Schnelltest negativ getestet. Nun fehlt zum Glück nur noch ein liebevolles Zuhause, wo Kristina Liebe und Geborgenheit erfahren darf. Kristina wurde herrenlos auf der Straße in Ungarn aufgegriffen. Woher sie stammt, ist nicht bekannt und die Anwohner hatten sie vorher noch nie gesehen. Vermutlich wurde sie einfach ausgesetzt. Kristina zeigt sich sehr menschenfreundlich und lässt sich gut händeln. Sie freut sich, wenn jemand im Tierheim Zeit für sie findet, dann springt sie vor Freude im Zwinger umher. Mit anderen Hunden kam Kristina anfangs nicht gut zurecht. Wir vermuten, dass sie in der Vergangenheit nicht die Möglichkeit hatte, Sozialkontakten zu pflegen und entsprechend unsicher/abweisend agiert. Inzwischen hat sie sich aber mit dem Rüden Pelle angefreundet und teilt sich den Zwinger mit ihm. Bei der Untersuchung durch den Tierarzt war sie ebenfalls sehr brav und ließ sich auch Blut ohne Murren abnehmen. Leider wurde Kristina positiv auf Anaplasmose und Herzwurm getestet. Ehrlichiose und Borreliose waren negativ. Mit der Behandlung wurde umgehend begonnen. Inzwischen wurde Kristina Herzwurm frei getestet. Wir vermuten, dass Kristina ein Jagdhund-Mix ist. Jedenfalls ist sie bewegungsfreudig und agil. Wir wünschen uns für Kristina ein aktives Zuhause, gerne auch Aktivitäten im Bereich Laufen, Wandern oder Hundesports.

About Kristina

What life with Kristina looks like

Kristina is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Fellfreunde e.V. in Solingen.

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 Kristina, answered.

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