Kiara

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Kiara is a young four-legged mom. She was rescued from the street, where she fought every day to protect her puppies. Her puppies have all found a warm home and a loving family... but Kiara remained there, watching them leave, waiting for her turn. Despite her difficult past, Kiara is the essence of sweetness. She is a delicate soul who just needs a little time to understand that not all humans hurt. Initially shy, but with an immense desire to trust. Once the ice is broken, she can give a deep and unconditional love. She is looking for someone who knows how to respect her pace, who has the patience to gain her trust and a big heart ready to welcome her.

Kiara è una giovane mamma a quattro zampe. È stata recuperata dalla strada, dove lottava ogni giorno per proteggere i suoi piccoli. I suoi cuccioli hanno trovato tutti una casa calda e una famiglia che li ama... ma Kiara è rimasta lì, a guardarli partire, aspettando che arrivasse anche il suo turno. Nonostante il passato difficile, Kiara è l'essenza della dolcezza. È un’anima delicata che ha solo bisogno di un po' di tempo per capire che non tutti gli umani feriscono. Inizialmente timida, ma con una voglia immensa di fidarsi. Una volta sciolto il ghiaccio, sa regalare un amore profondo e incondizionato. Cerca qualcuno che sappia rispettare i suoi tempi, che abbia la pazienza di conquistare la sua fiducia e un cuore grande pronto ad accoglierla.

About Kiara

What life with Kiara looks like

Kiara is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco in Italy.

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 Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kiara, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kiara?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rifugio San Francesco 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 — Rifugio San Francesco 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 Rifugio San Francesco 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 (IT). 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.
