How do I contact the shelter about Kira?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kira on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Kira if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum 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 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 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 TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kira 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.

I prefer to make my own decisions, but I will listen to you if you have a good suggestion. We are partners in this adventure of life. BESONERES FELLNASEPlan sufficient get-to-know time! This says Kira:Hello, I am Kira and I am intelligent, independent, and clever. I need an experienced person who brings patience and breed experience. I decide for myself whom I give my heart to, and often it takes time. What Kira needs: Experienced hands who know how to handle a wolfhound and are willing to plan a lot of time for the get-to-know phase. She needs a safe environment, as she cannot be left alone, and a person who gives her security and security. What Kira does not need: She does not like male dogs with a lot of white in their fur – for the rest, she decides based on sympathy. She cannot stand other female dogs! If you are ready to give Kira the time and patience she needs and offer her a loving home, then come by and get to know her.

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a large senior dog waiting at TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum in Klagenfurt.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

Note from the shelter: Cannot be left alone, requires extensive socialization time, selective with male dogs (dislikes those with white markings), cannot tolerate other females

🇦🇹Adopting from Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.
