Kara

Mixed Breed ยท Female ยท Adult ยท 6 years

๐Ÿพ Meet the lovely Kara! ๐Ÿพ Kara is a beautiful 6-year-old Beagle Cross with a heart full of love and a wonderful personality to match. She is affectionate, fun-loving, and an absolute joy to be around. Kara is fantastic with children, has previously lived with cats, and has all the qualities that make an excellent family companion. Kara currently shares her kennel with Alvin, who is also looking for a home. If youโ€™re thinking about adding two settled, easy-going dogs to your family, they could be rehomed together. Equally, Kara would be just as happy going to a home on her own or one with another friendly dog. She is a well-trained, well-mannered, biddable girl who simply wants to be part of a loving family. With her gentle nature and affectionate personality, Kara is sure to make a wonderful companion for whoever is lucky enough to adopt her. Could Kara be the missing piece your family has been looking for? โค๏ธ

About Kara

What life with Kara looks like

Kara is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

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" โ€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures โ€” to let them settle.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชAdopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Kara, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kara?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kara on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kara if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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 โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Kara 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Kara isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Almost Home Animal Rescue NI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kara 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect โ€” 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.
