Kiona

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Kiona is a gentle soul in the body of a German Shepherd mix. Kiona came to us at Little Farm along with a dog that someone simply threw away! Without a chip, in the heat, totally exhausted, and of course, no one has looked for her to this day. Without a single trace that would tell us where she came from and why her life suddenly became completely uncertain. So she's left with only her trust, which she can still give to a human despite everything. Kiona is a beautiful brindle German Shepherd mix, and you might expect a typical Shepherd's energetic dog nature, who needs to constantly do something, work, learn, and be employed. But Kiona is a bit different. It's true that she's starting to discover the magic of balls and is slowly finding out that playing with a human can be great fun. She's not a passionate retriever who would wait from morning to night for the next task. And she's definitely not a dog who needs to constantly work and prove what she can do. Her greatest need is a human. Kiona has that beautiful quality that we value immensely in dogs! Kiona is gentle, perceptive, and beautifully devoted. German Shepherds and their mixes are intelligent, teachable, attentive, and very strongly attached to their human. They need contact, communication, and a sense of belonging to their family. And that's exactly what Kiona needs. It's not a guard dog. It's not a female that we would imagine somewhere behind the house, in a kennel or locked in a kennel with the task of guarding the property! We won't adopt Kiona to a kennel in the yard or to a kennel. We are looking for a family that will live in a house with a garden, but will take her in as a member of the household, as a partner, as a living being, who wants to be part of everyday life. We very much want our rescued Kiona to have the opportunity to lie by her human, go for a walk with him, discover the world, play with a ball occasionally, and then rest comfortably where her human is. Kiona doesn't need a life full of performances. She needs security, closeness, and a relationship. Her gentle nature makes her a very grateful candidate for family life. That dog that doesn't want to be forgotten somewhere at the house, but wants to be with you. And that's what's most beautiful about Kiona. Behind her German Shepherd's body and appearance is a devoted dog soul that doesn't need to be a commander, a guardian, or a working dog. She wants to be a beloved member of the family. And we want to find just that family for our Kiona. Kiona can also be supported financially for veterinary procedures and food.

Kiona je jemná duša v tele kríženky nemeckého ovčiaka. Kiona sa k nám na Malú farmu dostala spolu so psíkom, s ktorým ju niekto jednoducho vyhodil ! Bez čipu, v horúčave, totálne vysílenu a samozrejme nik ju do dnešného dňa nehľadal. Bez jedinej stopy, ktorá by nám povedala, odkiaľ prišla a prečo sa jej život zo dňa na deň ocitol úplne bez istoty. A tak zostala len ona so svojou dôverou, ktorú človeku napriek všetkému stále dokáže dať. Kiona je krásna žíhaná kríženka nemeckého ovčiaka a možno by ste podľa jej vzhľadu čakali typickú ovčiacku povahu energického psa, ktorý potrebuje neustále niečo robiť, pracovať, učiť sa a byť zamestnaný. Lenže Kiona je trochu iná. Je pravdou, že začína objavovať kúzlo loptičiek a pomaly zisťuje, že aj hra s človekom môže byť veľká zábava. Nie je však žiadnou vášnivou aportérkou, ktorá by od rána do večera čakala na ďalšiu úlohu. A už vôbec nie je psíkom, ktorý by potreboval neustále pracovať a dokazovať, čo všetko dokáže. Jej najväčšou potrebou je človek. Kiona má v sebe tú krásnu vlastnosť, ktorú si na psoch nesmierne vážime ! Kiona jemná, vnímavá a krásne odovzdaná. Nemecké ovčiaky a ich kríženci bývajú inteligentné, učenlivé, pozorné a veľmi silno naviazané na svojho človeka. Potrebujú kontakt, komunikáciu a pocit, že patria do svojej rodiny. A presne takú blízkosť potrebuje aj Kiona. Nie je to však žiadny strážny pes. Nie je to fenka, ktorú by sme si predstavovali niekde za domom, v búde alebo zatvorenú v koterci s úlohou strážiť pozemok ! Kionu do búdy na dvor ani do koterca adoptovať nebudeme ! Pre Kionu hľadáme rodinku bývajúcu v dome so záhradkou, ale ktorá ju prijme dovnútra ako člena domácnosti, ako svoju parťáčku, ako živú bytosť, ktorá chce byť súčasťou každodenného života. Veľmi si prajeme aby naša zachránená Kiona mala možnosť ležať pri svojom človeku, ísť s ním na prechádzku, objavovať svet, občas sa zahrať s loptičkou a potom spokojne odpočívať tam, kde je jej človek. Kiona nepotrebuje život plný výkonov. Potrebuje bezpečie, blízkosť a vzťah. Jej jemná povaha z nej robí veľmi vďačnú kandidátku na rodinnú spoločnosť. Takú tú psicu, ktorá nechce byť niekde zabudnutá pri dome, ale chce byť s vami. A práve to je na Kione najkrajšie. Za jej postavou a vzhľadom takmer nemeckého ovčiaka sa ukrýva odovzdaná psia duša, ktorá nepotrebuje byť veliteľkou, ochrankyňou ani pracovným psom.Chce byť milovanou súčasťou rodinky. A my jej chceme nájsť práve tú rodinku, ktorá pochopí, že pes nie je dekorácia pri dome ani živý alarm na pozemok. Je to člen rodiny ! A presne takú rodinku hľadáme pre našu Kionu. Kionu je možné podporiť aj finančne, na veterinárne úkony a stravu. SNP 21, 811 01 Bratislava FIO CZ: 2201868518/2010 SWIFT/.s., V Celnici 1028/10, 117 21 Praha 1

About Kiona

What life with Kiona looks like

Kiona is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Malá farma in Slovakia.

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 Slovakia

Slovak rescue groups coordinate cross-border transport with European partners. Animals are chipped and vaccinated; sterilization is often included for adults and arranged post-adoption for puppies/kittens.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kiona, answered.

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