Adopt KIA

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Kia is looking for a calm, kind and welcoming home that will gently accompany her. Shy at first, Kia is gentle, sensitive and quiet, and will simply need time to learn to trust. We are looking for patient adopters who respect her pace and are aware that building trust will be necessary. The presence of a balanced dog in the home would be a real advantage, as she feels more secure and progresses more when in the company of other animals of the same species. A too hectic life or a noisy environment would not suit her. She will need a stable, reassuring environment and involved humans to fully thrive.

KIA recherche un foyer calme, bienveillant et prêt à l’accompagner avec douceur. Craintive au premier abord, Kia est gentille, sensible et discrète, elle aura simplement besoin de temps pour apprendre à faire confiance. Nous recherchons pour elle des adoptants patients, respectueux de son rythme et conscients qu’un travail de mise en confiance sera nécessaire. La présence d’un chien équilibré au sein du foyer serait un réel atout, car elle se sent plus rassurée et progresse davantage au contact de ses congénères. Une vie trop agitée ou un environnement bruyant ne lui conviendraient pas. Elle aura besoin d’un cadre stable, rassurant et d’humains investis pour pouvoir s’épanouir pleinement.

About KIA

What life with KIA looks like

KIA is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Redon in Redon.

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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting KIA, answered.

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