How do I contact the shelter about Kiara?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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 — SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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 SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

mixed breed Kiara – knows and loves life in the house Kiara came to the our shelter in May 2026 and is estimated to be around ten years old. For more than ten years, she lived with her family. Then, suddenly, she lost everything she was familiar with and found herself at the animal shelter with her dog friend. The two were simply given up, and probably younger dogs now live in their former home. It is particularly hard for Kiara to understand. Everything she knew is gone. A real home traded for a small cage in a big, noisy shelter. A tragedy for an old dog. Kiara currently shows herself to be somewhat shy and reserved, but gets along well with other dogs. She is making a great effort to adjust to her new situation, even though the familiar security of her old life is missing. We wish for people with hearts who will give Kiara time to come around and show her that she is loved and welcome again. After all these years, she deserves to spend her twilight years not in the animal shelter, but in a warm dog bed and with loving people by her side. Who will give this special and really funny senior dog her second chance?

Mischling Kiara – kennt und liebt das Leben im Haus Kiara kam im Mai 2026 in die Auffangstation und wird auf etwa gut zehn Jahre geschätzt. Mehr als zehn Jahre lang lebte sie bei ihrer Familie. Dann verlor sie plötzlich alles, was ihr vertraut war, und fand sich zusammen mit ihrem Hundefreund im Tierheim wieder. Die beiden wurden einfach abgegeben und wahrscheinlich leben nun jüngere Hunde in ihrem ehemaligen Heim. Für Kiara ist das besonders schwer zu verstehen. Alles, was sie kannte, hat sie verloren. Ein richtiges Zuhause eingetauscht gegen einen kleinen Käfig in einem großen lauten Shelter. Für einen alten Hund eine Tragödie. Kiara zeigt sich derzeit noch etwas schüchtern und zurückhaltend, kommt aber gut mit anderen Hunden zurecht. Sie gibt sich große Mühe, mit ihrer neuen Situation zurechtzukommen, auch wenn ihr die vertraute Sicherheit ihres alten Lebens fehlt. Für Kiara wünschen wir uns Menschen mit Herz, die ihr Zeit geben anzukommen und ihr zeigen, dass sie wieder geliebt und willkommen ist. Nach all den Jahren hat sie es verdient, ihren Lebensabend nicht im Tierheim, sondern in einem warmen Körbchen und mit liebevollen Menschen an ihrer Seite zu verbringen. Wer schenkt dieser besonderen und optisch wirklich witzigen Seniorin ihre zweite Chance? Hier gehts zu Kiaras Video

About Kiara

What life with Kiara looks like

Kiara is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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.
