How do I contact the shelter about Peanut?

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 Peanut on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Peanut 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 Peanut 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 Peanut 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 Peanut 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.

Peanut

German Shepherd · Female · Senior · 11 years

Peanut, or also affectionately called “Nussi,” is an 11 ½ year old Belgian German Shepherd mix female dog. She is rather skeptical of strangers and barks loudly at them. If someone does not respect her “dance circle,” she would also snap. “Nussi” needs someone who can give her the time to get to know her in peace. She is easily bribed with treats, but once the treat is gone, she falls back into barking. Once she has gained the trust of a person, she is an absolute cuddle bug and enjoys physical contact and cuddles very much. Other dogs find Peanut behind the fence very interesting, with her preferring the males over other females. If then another dog is brought into her run, she finds this very suspicious and tends to give the other dog a wide berth. Walking with her is not a problem with male dogs. Peanut goes well on a leash, is accustomed to a muzzle, is house-trained, and does not destroy anything. For Nussi, we would best like a single place where she can have all the attention of her people to herself. As she is more of an insecure female dog, there should be no small children in the household.

DE·Show original

Peanut, oder auch liebevoll „Nussi“ genannt, ist eine 11 ½ jährige belgische Schäferhund Mischlingshündin. Sie ist fremden Menschen gegenüber eher skeptisch und verbellt sie lautstark. Wenn jemand ihren „Tanzkreis“ nicht respektiert, würde sie auch schnappen. „Nussi“ braucht jemanden, der ihr die Zeit gibt, sie in Ruhe kennenzulernen. Sie ist über Leckerlies gut bestechbar, ist das Leckerlie aber weg, fällt sie wieder ins Verbellen. Wenn sie das Vertrauen zu einer Person gefasst hat, ist sie eine absolute Kuschelmaus und genießt körperlichen Kontakt und Streicheleinheiten sehr. Andere Hunde findet Peanut hinter dem Zaun sehr interessant, wobei ihr die Herren lieber sind, als andere Damen. Wenn dann aber ein anderer Hund mit in ihrem Auslauf ist, findet sie dieses sehr suspekt und geht dem anderen Hund eher aus dem Weg. Mit Rüden ist es unproblematisch, mit ihr spazieren zu gehen. Peanut geht gut an der Leine, ist einen Maulkorb gewohnt, ist stubenrein und macht nichts kaputt. Für Nussi wünschen wir uns am Besten einen Einzelplatz, wo sie ganz und gar die Aufmerksamkeit ihrer Menschen für sich alleine hat. Da sie eher eine unsichere Hündin ist, sollten keine kleinen Kinder im Haushalt leben.

About Peanut

What life with Peanut looks like

Peanut is a senior german shepherd 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.
