Kina

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Kina seeks a home 💚 Meet Kina Kina – a gentle soul seeks people to give her security 💛 Kina would love to win the jackpot of her life: a loving home of her own where she can feel safe and belong forever. Breed: Mixed Gender: Female/Neutered Born: 28.08.2025 Size: approx. 48 cm Weight: approx. 12 kg Color: black-brown Character: loving, gentle, affectionate, sensitive, initially fearful and reserved Kina is a very special young dog – a shy and gentle soul who absolutely wants to do everything right. She has only recently lived in her foster home and yet she has already made great progress. Many unfamiliar noises and situations still frighten Kina. But every day she gains a little more security and shows how much potential she has. Especially encounters with other dogs currently still frighten her. Especially when dogs suddenly bark at her or, for example, push forward from behind a fence, Kina can have a clear flight reflex. Here she needs people who take her insecurity seriously, give her protection and gently introduce her to new situations. Part of her fearfulness may also be due to the fact that Kina cannot see out of her left eye. This should be medically clarified further. 🏡 At home, Kina shows a completely different side In a familiar environment, Kina is an incredibly affectionate dog who intensely seeks the closeness of her people. She has slept peacefully next to her foster family's bed since the first night, slept through the night and is house trained. In the apartment she behaves pleasantly quiet and barks only very rarely. She no longer needs a house leash and leashing works completely problem-free. Kina already masters elevator travel confidently. Stairs, on the other hand, are still a big fear for her and need to be mastered.

🐾 Kina sucht ein Zuhause 💚 Kina kennenlernen Kina – eine zarte Seele sucht Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit schenken 💛 Kina würde so gerne den Hauptgewinn ihres Lebens ergattern: ein eigenes, liebevolles Zuhause, in dem sie sich sicher fühlen und für immer ankommen darf. Rasse: Mischling Geschlecht: weiblich/kastriert Geboren: 28.08.2025 Größe: ca. 48 cm Gewicht: ca. 12 kg Farbe: schwarz-braun Charakter: lieb, sanft, anhänglich, sensibel, anfangs ängstlich und zurückhaltend Kina ist eine ganz besondere junge Hündin – eine scheue und zarte Seele, die unbedingt alles richtig machen möchte. Erst seit kurzer Zeit lebt sie in ihrer Pflegestelle und trotzdem hat sie bereits tolle Fortschritte gemacht. Viele unbekannte Geräusche und Situationen erschrecken Kina noch. Doch jeden Tag gewinnt sie ein kleines bisschen mehr Sicherheit und zeigt, wie viel Potenzial in ihr steckt. Besonders Begegnungen mit anderen Hunden bereiten ihr momentan noch Angst. Vor allem wenn Hunde plötzlich bellend auf sie zulaufen oder beispielsweise hinter einem Zaun nach vorne preschen, kann bei Kina ein deutlicher Fluchtreflex einsetzen. Hier braucht sie Menschen, die ihre Unsicherheit ernst nehmen, ihr Schutz geben und sie behutsam an neue Situationen heranführen. Möglicherweise hängt ein Teil ihrer Schreckhaftigkeit auch damit zusammen, dass Kina auf ihrem linken Auge nicht sehen kann. Dies sollte medizinisch weiter abgeklärt werden. 🏡 Zuhause zeigt Kina eine ganz andere Seite In vertrauter Umgebung ist Kina eine unglaublich anhängliche Hündin, die intensiv die Nähe ihrer Menschen sucht. Bereits seit der ersten Nacht schläft sie ruhig neben dem Bett ihrer Pflegefamilie, schläft die Nacht durch und ist stubenrein. In der Wohnung verhält sie sich angenehm ruhig und bellt nur sehr selten. Eine Hausleine benötigt sie nicht mehr und auch das Anleinen funktioniert völlig problemlos. Selbst Fahrstuhlfahren meistert Kina bereits souverän. Treppen dagegen machen ihr momentan noch große Angst und müssen mi

About Kina

What life with Kina looks like

Kina is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at APAL Finikas (Kreta) in Greece.

An young 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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kina, answered.

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