How do I contact the shelter about Kiara?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Franziskus handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kiara on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kiara if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Franziskus 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 Kiara 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 Kiara 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 Franziskus early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kiara 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.

Kiara

American Staffordshire Terrier · Female · Adult · 6 years

Die American Staffordshire Terrier-Hündin Kiara, geboren 2020, hatte in ihrem bisherigen Leben leider keinen einfachen Start. Nachdem sie ihre Familie aufgrund ihrer Rasse verlassen musste, verbrachte sie zwei lange Jahre unter schwierigsten Bedingungen in einem Tierheim in Ungarn. Als dieses schließlich wegen der schlechten Haltungsbedingungen aufgelöst wurde, durfte Kiara ins Tierheim Franziskus übersiedeln. Zunächst brauchte sie ein paar Tage, um wieder zu Kräften zu kommen. Doch schon bald zeigte sich, was für ein wunderbarer Hund in ihr steckt: Mit ihrem fröhlichen, offenen Wesen hat Kiara im Nu die Herzen der Mitarbeiter und Spaziergeher erobert. Sie liebt Menschen über alles, ist neugierig, verspielt und unglaublich verschmust. Kiara lernt außerdem wahnsinnig schnell und mit großer Begeisterung – besonders, wenn Leckerlis im Spiel sind. Gemeinsam mit unserer Hundetrainerin Karin hat sie tatsächlich schon nach nur drei Wochen Training an einem Trickturnier teilgenommen. Die Richter waren beeindruckt, wie viele Tricks die aufgeweckte Hündin in so kurzer Zeit gelernt hat, und prophezeiten ihr sogar eine vielversprechende Zukunft im DogDance. Für Kiara wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause als Einzelprinzessin, in dem sie endlich all die Aufmerksamkeit, Liebe und Verwöhnmomente bekommt, die sie so sehr verdient. Ideal wäre eine Familie, die Freude daran hat, gemeinsam mit ihr zu trainieren und sie körperlich wie auch geistig auszulasten. Kiara hat an allem Spaß, egal ob Tricktraining, Joggen oder anderen spannenden Aktivitäten. © 2026 by Tierheim Franziskus, , Spenden sind auch via Paypal möglich :

About Kiara

What life with Kiara looks like

Kiara is a large adult american staffordshire terrier dog waiting at Tierheim Franziskus in Rosental an der Kainach.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇦🇹Adopting from Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.
