Kira

Chihuahua · Female · Senior · 9 years

Chihuahua Kira sucht ihren Herzensplatz Die kleine Chihuahua-Dame Kira wartet in unserem spanischen Tierheim auf ihre Chance auf ein eigenes Zuhause. Über ihre Vergangenheit wissen wir leider nur wenig, doch wie viele Tierschutzhunde bringt auch Kira ihre ganz eigene Geschichte mit. Kira hat noch viele schöne Jahre vor sich und wünscht sich Menschen, die ihr zeigen, wie schön ein Hundeleben sein kann. Ein gemütliches Körbchen, liebevolle Zuwendung und das Gefühl, endlich angekommen zu sein – das wäre ihr größtes Glück. Für Kira suchen wir Menschen mit Herz und idealerweise Hundeerfahrung, die wissen, dass ein Chihuahua weit mehr ist als ein niedliches Schoßhündchen. Auch kleine Hunde haben ihren eigenen Charakter, Bedürfnisse und möchten als vollwertige Familienmitglieder ernst genommen werden. Da Kira aus dem Tierschutz kommt, wird sie möglicherweise noch einiges lernen und kennenlernen müssen. Deshalb wünschen wir uns Menschen, die ihr mit Geduld, Verständnis und Liebe begegnen und ihr die Zeit geben, die sie zum Ankommen braucht. Wer möchte der zauberhaften Kira ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken und gemeinsam mit ihr in einen neuen Lebensabschnitt starten? Dann melden Sie sich gerne bei Ihrer zuständigen Vermittlerin. Auch eine Pflegestelle würde Kira sehr dabei helfen, den Weg in ein neues Leben zu finden. Bitte bedenken Sie, dass der Chihuahua zu den Qualzuchten gehört. Im Moment geht es Kira gut, eine Garantie darauf, dass dies so bleibt, kann keiner geben. Mehr Informationen hierzu finden Sie auf unserer Informationsseite.

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a senior chihuahua dog waiting at SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. in Germany.

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.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kira, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kira?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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 — SALVA Hundehilfe 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 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 SALVA Hundehilfe e.V. 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.
