Keira

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Right at the beginning of this text, we’d like to point out that this rescued female dog, Keira, is not a Yorkshire Terrier but rather a mixed breed. If you’re looking for an XXL-sized Yorkshire Terrier, Keira isn’t quite it. Keira is a female dog who, despite her difficult past, has retained a kind heart. She was found together with her puppies in a settlement where she tried to protect them from hunger, cold, and all the hardships surrounding them—keeping them chained. Life hadn’t been kind to her, yet she never gave up! To this day, you can still see painful scars from her past on her neck. Her roughened skin and matted coat reveal that she was kept on a chain for a long time. At first, even her behavior seemed to reflect this. When making sudden movements, she would crouch close to the ground; she’d react with fear to raised voices, and it took her some time to realize that humans could also bring safety and love. Today, Keira is a completely different dog. She’s very sweet, friendly, and gentle. She loves human company, enjoys cuddling up for petting, and with each passing day, she’s discovering more and more just how beautiful life can be when spent alongside people. Keira is a terrier mix, which means she’s spirited, alert, quick, and agile. She loves exploring the world, adores physical activity, and will be happiest with people who give her plenty of walks, outings, and shared activities. Terriers are highly intelligent dogs who love learning new things and form strong bonds with their families. Her coat will require regular grooming to stay healthy and beautiful. But that’s nothing compared to the sheer amount of love, devotion, and joy she can bring to her family. Keira has already known life on a chain. Now, she longs to experience life on the couch, long walks, a full bowl of food, gentle strokes, and the feeling of truly belonging somewhere. We’re looking for a family for Keira who won’t be scared by her past but will see in her an amazing female dog with a big heart. A family that will give her exactly what she’s been missing so far—their home and lifelong love. Is Keira waiting just for you? You can also support Keira financially, covering veterinary expenses and food costs. SNP 21, 811 01 Bratislava FIO CZ: 2201868518/2010 SWIFT/.s., V Celnici 1028/10, 117 21 Prague 1

Hneď na úvod textu uvedieme, že táto zachránená fenka Keira nie je yorkšír, ale kríženec. Kto hľadá rasu tak yorkšír XXL. Keira je fenka, ktorá si napriek ťažkej minulosti zachovala dobré srdce. Našla sa spolu so svojimi šteniatkami v osade, kde sa snažila na reťazi ochrániť svoje malé pred hladom, zimou a všetkým zlým, čo ich obklopovalo. Život jej neprial, no ona sa nevzdala ! Na jej krku dodnes vidno bolestivé stopy minulosti. Vydratá koža a polámaná srsť prezrádzajú, že bola dlhý čas držaná na reťazi. Aj jej správanie tomu spočiatku nasvedčovalo. Pri prudších pohyboch sa prikrčila k zemi, na zvýšený hlas reagovala strachom a chvíľu jej trvalo, kým pochopila, že človek môže prinášať aj bezpečie a lásku. Dnes je z Keiry úplne iná fenka. Je veľmi milá, priateľská a nežná. Miluje spoločnosť človeka, rada sa príde pomaznať a každým dňom viac a viac objavuje, aký krásny môže byť život po boku ľudí. Keira je kríženkou teriéra, a preto je temperamentná, bystrá, rýchla a obratná. Rada objavuje svet, miluje pohyb a bude šťastná pri ľuďoch, ktorí jej doprajú dostatok prechádzok, výletov a spoločných aktivít. Teriére sú veľmi inteligentné psy, ktoré sa rady učia nové veci a vytvárajú si silné puto so svojou rodinou. Jej srsť si bude vyžadovať pravidelnú starostlivosť, aby zostala zdravá a krásna. Nie je to však nič v porovnaní s množstvom lásky, oddanosti a radosti, ktorú dokáže svojej rodinke priniesť. Keira už poznala život na reťazi. Teraz túži spoznať život na gauči, dlhé prechádzky, plnú misku, láskavé pohladenie a pocit, že niekam patrí. Pre Keiru hľadáme rodinku, ktorá sa nezľakne jej minulosti, ale uvidí v nej úžasnú fenku s veľkým srdcom. Rodinku, ktorá jej dá to jediné, čo jej doteraz chýbalo. A tým je skutočný domov a lásku na celý život. Čaká Keira práve na vás ? Keiru je možné podporiť aj finančne, na veterinárne úkony a stravu.

About Keira

What life with Keira looks like

Keira is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Malá farma in Slovakia.

An young 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" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇸🇰Adopting from Slovakia

Slovak rescue groups coordinate cross-border transport with European partners. Animals are chipped and vaccinated; sterilization is often included for adults and arranged post-adoption for puppies/kittens.

Frequently asked

Adopting Keira, answered.

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