Adopt Lenny (Vermittlungshilfe)

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 10 years

Lenny was handed over as a "found animal" to our shelter in March 2021 by his owner, as he was not accepted by the owner's partner and, according to her, was also being mistreated. It is possible that Lenny reacted aggressively in what he perceived as conflict situations at the animal shelter. He defends resources. This behavior is hardly shown by him anymore with us, as he has regained trust in people. Lenny is an alert, cheerful dog who gets along well with most fellow animals and enjoys staying in the dog group. Lenny is looking for a home without small children – preferably as a second dog, best with people who are experienced with dogs and can physically challenge him and give him time to build trust. our area, Weidefelder Weg 14a, 24376 Kappeln Email:

Lenny wurde von seiner Besitzerin als „Fundtier“ im März 2021 in ein Tierheim abgegeben, da er vom Lebensgefährten der Besitzerin nicht akzeptiert und laut ihrer Aussage auch misshandelt wurde. Möglicherweise reagierte Lenny in vermeintlichen Konfliktsituationen im Tierheim deshalb schnell mal aggressiv. Er verteidigt Ressourcen. Dieses Verhalten zeigt er bei uns kaum noch, da er das Vertrauen zu Menschen wiedergewinnen konnte. Lenny ist ein aufgeweckter, fröhlicher Hund, der mit den meisten Artgenossen gut auskommt und sich gerne in der Hundegruppe aufhält. Lenny sucht ein Zuhause ohne kleine Kinder – gerne auch als Zweithund, am besten bei Hunde-erfahrenen Menschen, die ihn körperlich auslasten und ihm Zeit geben, Vertrauen aufzubauen.

About Lenny (Vermittlungshilfe)

What life with Lenny (Vermittlungshilfe) looks like

Lenny (Vermittlungshilfe) is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Uhlenkrog Kiel in Kiel.

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 Lenny (Vermittlungshilfe), answered.

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