Vektor

Male · Senior · 9 years

Vektor is a friendly, calm, and relaxed male dog who enjoys the company of humans. He always meets his trusted people kindly and openly and is a pleasant companion in everyday life. Age-related, Vector brings a few small challenges; he doesn't see and hear as well anymore and should therefore live in a ground-floor home. If something comes his way on the path that he can't immediately recognize or categorize, whether it's a person or another dog, he sometimes reacts a bit excitedly, but calms down quickly again. With other dogs, he is conditionally compatible and decides based on sympathy. Vector can probably stay alone for some time, as he sleeps a large part of the day. For our charming senior, we are searching for a quiet home where he can spend his golden years loved and cared for. Anyone who still wants to show a friendly, uncomplicated old gentleman the beautiful sides of life will find a faithful companion with a heart of gold in Vector.

DE·Show original

Vektor ist ein freundlicher, ruhiger und entspannter Rüde, der die Gesellschaft von Menschen genießt. Er begegnet seinen Bezugspersonen stets nett und aufgeschlossen und ist ein angenehmer Begleiter im Alltag. Altersbedingt bringt Vector ein paar kleine Baustellen mit, er sieht und hört nicht mehr besonders gut und sollte daher in einem ebenerdigen Zuhause leben. Wenn ihm unterwegs etwas entgegenkommt, das er nicht sofort erkennen oder einordnen kann, egal ob Mensch oder Hund, reagiert er manchmal etwas aufgeregt, beruhigt sich aber schnell wieder. Mit anderen Hunden ist er bedingt verträglich und entscheidet nach Sympathie. Alleine bleiben kann Vector vermutlich für einige Zeit, da er einen Großteil des Tages verschläft. Für unseren charmanten Senior suchen wir ein ruhiges Zuhause, in dem er seinen Lebensabend geliebt und umsorgt verbringen darf. Wer einem freundlichen, unkomplizierten alten Herrn noch einmal die schönen Seiten des Lebens zeigen möchte, findet in Vector einen treuen Gefährten mit einem Herz aus Gold.

About Vektor

What life with Vektor looks like

Vektor is a large senior 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 Vektor, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Vektor?
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 Vektor on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Vektor 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 Vektor 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 Vektor 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 Vektor 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.
