How do I contact the shelter about Kiku?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kiku on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kiku if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not 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 Kiku 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 Kiku 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 A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kiku 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.

Kiku

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

CAUTIOUS, ACCESSIBLE, FRIENDLY, COMPATIBLE Kiku already had a home. She lived with four other small female dogs in a family. But fate struck hard. The family became homeless and could not keep the five female dogs. With great sorrow, they were given up. Originally only for sterilization, but it was clear that these small house dogs could not go back to the street. They would hardly have survived. Fortunately, we were able to take in Kiku and her friends and protect them from a life without protection on the street. Even though these five girls feel strong together and bark, this changes when they are alone. Kiku knows life in a house and now looks for people. She doesn't need a marathon program, but loving walks, a soft sofa, and people who appreciate her kind. She is more reserved and cautious towards people she does not know. Cuddling is not yet her favorite activity. But she learns every day. She likes to interact with children who have a certain understanding of dogs. Kiku is not looking for an adventure, but she wants to arrive in peace. She is looking for people who show her that she never has to fear losing her home again. Who has a dog bed available for this insecure soul? They are all vaccinated, microchipped, and have an EU passport. They are checked for Mediterranean diseases according to their age. See information on our homepage. Every dog placed makes space for one of those dogs who live hungry and emaciated.

DE·Show original

vorsichtig, zugänglich, freundlich, verträglich Kiku hatte bereits ein Zuhause. Sie lebte zusammen mit vier anderen kleinen Hundedamen bei einer Familie. Doch das Schicksal schlug hart zu. Die Familie wurde obdachlos und konnte die fünf Hündinnen unmöglich behalten. Schweren Herzens wurden sie abgegeben. Ursprünglich nur zur Kastration, doch es war klar, zurück auf die Straße können diese kleinen Haushunde nicht. Das hätten sie kaum überlebt. Zum Glück konnten wir Kiku und ihre Freundinnen aufnehmen und vor einem Leben ohne Schutz auf der Straße bewahren. Auch wenn diese 5 Mädels sich im Rudel zusammen stark fühlen und kläffen, so ändert sich das, wenn sie alleine sind. Kiku kennt das Leben im Haus und sucht nun Menschen. Sie braucht kein Marathon-Programm, sondern liebevolle Spaziergänge, ein weiches Sofa und Menschen, die ihre Art zu schätzen wissen. Sie ist bei Menschen gegenüber, die sie noch nicht kennt, eher zurückhaltend und vorsichtig. Schmusen ist auch noch nicht so ihre Lieblingsbeschäftigung. Aber sie lernt täglich dazu. Mit Kindern, die ein gewisses Verständnis für Hunde haben, hat sie gerne Kontakt. Kiku sucht kein Abenteuer, sondern sie möchte in Ruhe ankommen. Sie sucht Menschen, die ihr zeigen, dass sie nie wieder Angst haben muss, ihr Zuhause zu verlieren. Wer hat ein Körbchen für diese verunsicherte Seele frei? sind alle geimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Ausweis. Sie werden altersentsprechend auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten gecheckt. Siehe dazu Info auf unserer Homepage. Jeder vermittelte Hunde macht Platz für einen jener Hunde, die hungernd und ausgemergelt ihr Dasein fristen müssen. AUFENTHALTSORT

About Kiku

What life with Kiku looks like

Kiku is a young adult mixed breed dog waiting at A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not e.V. in Greece.

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 Greece

Greek shelters often partner with Northern European rescue groups for placements. Animals are sterilized, vaccinated, and chipped before adoption. Fees vary widely depending on whether the shelter is municipal or NGO-run.
