How do I contact the shelter about Trine?

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

Can I adopt Trine 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 Trine 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 Trine 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 Trine 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.

Trine

Border Collie · Female · Senior · 9 years

Trine is an older lady who likes to take things easy. She is a calm and uncomplicated dog who loves short walks to sniff around and then likes to relax comfortably with her humans. In her interactions, Trine is friendly, adaptable and content. She also gets along well with other dogs, showing herself to be tolerant and usually ignoring her fellow canines. The little senior doesn't need a lot of action. What's more important to her are loving humans, plenty of petting and a cozy spot where she can just be a dog and enjoy her twilight years. Love definitely goes through her stomach! Trine is a very gluttonous little lady and would do just about anything for a tasty, soft treat. Due to her age, she has a few issues, her teeth were in very bad condition and almost all were removed. For Trine, we are looking for a quiet, loving home with people who know what it means to make a life for an older dog. People who give her time, spoil her, take good care of her and give her many cozy moments.

Trine ist eine ältere Dame, die es gerne etwas ruhiger angehen lässt. Sie ist eine ausgeglichene und unkomplizierte Hündin, die kleine Spaziergänge zum Schnüffeln liebt und anschließend am liebsten gemütlich bei ihren Menschen entspannt. Im Umgang zeigt sich Trine freundlich, angepasst und genügsam. Auch mit anderen Hunden kommt sie gut zurecht, sie zeigt sich verträglich und ignoriert ihre Artgenossen meist entspannt. Viel Action braucht die kleine Seniorin nicht. Viel wichtiger sind ihr liebevolle Menschen, ausgiebige Streicheleinheiten und ein gemütlicher Platz, an dem sie einfach Hund sein und ihren Lebensabend genießen darf. Liebe geht bei ihr eindeutig durch den Magen! Trine ist eine sehr verfressene kleine Dame und würde für ein leckeres, weiches Häppchen vermutlich so einiges tun. Altersbedingt bringt sie ein paar Baustellen mit, ihre Zähne waren in einem sehr schlechten Zustand und sind fast alle gezogen worden. Für Trine wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges, liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die wissen, was es bedeutet, einer älteren Hündin ein schönes Leben zu ermöglichen. Menschen, die ihr Zeit geben, sie verwöhnen, gut versorgen und ihr ganz viele gemütliche Momente schenken.

About Trine

What life with Trine looks like

Trine is a senior border collie 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.
