Kira &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Kira, born on August 12, 2024 in Sicily, came to Switzerland together with her brother. Unfortunately, her previous owners were unable to provide the time needed for two young puppies, and so her brother was soon rehomed – Kira stayed behind. In her first months of life, Kira was often left alone and did not receive the attention and nurturing a young puppy needs. Despite this, Kira has developed into a lively, open, and active female dog. She loves people, is playful, curious, and also meets other dogs friendly. Her energy and joy make her a great companion for people who enjoy movement and shared mental stimulation. Kira is very interested in cats – whether a cohabitation is possible is still uncertain at this time. Of course, she still needs loving upbringing, patience, and a clear, sensitive guidance to develop into a balanced female dog. Whoever is ready to take this journey with her will receive a loyal, cuddly, and very eager-to-learn companion. Kira is vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to be rehomed. If you are interested in our dogs and would like to meet them informally, apply using the button below and we will get in touch with you as soon as possible. We thank you for your understanding if the processing of your request takes a little longer. We strive to give a response as soon as possible, but it may happen that we receive many inquiries or that our resources are temporarily needed elsewhere.

Kira, geboren am 12. August 2024 auf Sizilien, kam gemeinsam mit ihrem Bruder in die Schweiz. Leider konnten ihre damaligen Besitzer zwei Junghunden zeitlich nicht gerecht werden, und so wurde ihr Bruder bald weitervermittelt – Kira blieb zurück. In ihren ersten Lebensmonaten war Kira oft auf sich allein gestellt und konnte nicht die Aufmerksamkeit und Förderung bekommen, die ein junger Hund braucht. Trotzdem hat sich Kira zu einer lebensfrohen, offenen und aktiven Hündin entwickelt. Sie liebt Menschen, ist verspielt, neugierig und begegnet auch anderen Hunden freundlich. Ihre Energie und Lebensfreude machen sie zu einer tollen Begleiterin für Menschen, die Freude an Bewegung und gemeinsamer Beschäftigung haben. Kira interessiert sich sehr für Katzen – ob ein Zusammenleben möglich ist, lässt sich derzeit aber noch nicht mit Sicherheit sagen. Natürlich braucht sie weiterhin liebevolle Erziehung, Geduld und eine klare, einfühlsame Führung, um sich zu einer ausgeglichenen Hündin zu entwickeln. Wer bereit ist, diesen Weg mit ihr zu gehen, bekommt eine treue, verschmuste und sehr lernfreudige Gefährtin an die Seite. Kira wird geimpft, gechippt, mit Schutzvertrag gegen eine Schutzgebühr von CHF 650.– vermittelt. Falls Sie Interesse an unseren Hunden haben und sie unverbindlich kennenlernen möchten, bewerben Sie sich mit untenstehenden Button und wir werden uns baldmöglichst mit Ihnen in Verbindung setzen. Wir danken für Ihr Verständnis, falls die Bearbeitung Ihrer Anfrage etwas länger dauert. Wir setzen alles daran, so bald wie möglich eine Rückmeldung zu geben. Es kann aber vorkommen, dass sehr viele Anfragen zusammenkommen oder dass unsere Ressourcen temporär dringend anderweitig gebraucht werden.

About Kira &#8211

What life with Kira &#8211 looks like

Kira &#8211 is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzbund Basel Regional.

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 Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kira &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kira &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzbund Basel Regional handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kira &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kira &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzbund Basel Regional 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 Kira &#8211 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 Kira &#8211 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 Tierschutzbund Basel Regional early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kira &#8211 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.
