How do I contact the shelter about Kira?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Starnberg 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 — Tierheim Starnberg 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 Tierheim Starnberg 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.

Kira

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

Kira is a semblen-blond, wonderful, powerful, and stately female dog (approximately 60 cm). The female dog is vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. She is very cuddly and people-oriented but needs clear, loving training. One should also enjoy the extensive mental stimulation of a dog. She is 6 years old (born in October 2017). The father is a Labrador (working line), and the mother is a shepherd – herding dog mix. Kira is not trainable due to her strong hunting drive. There should be no cats or small animals in the new home. Kira is partially compatible with other dogs but current meet-and-greet situations on walks are not entirely easy to manage. She is watchful over her pack and her home. Kira communicates happily and with her impressive voice. Only a house with a securely fenced yard would be suitable. Kira can be a wonderful companion. She is very open-minded and enjoys car rides. The female dog tries to please a lot but also constantly tests boundaries. Therefore, no children should be in the new home. Currently, Kira lives with other dogs at a foster home. The foster parent is happy to have met this actually wonderful dog but also knows she cannot do justice to the dog. Only at a suitable place will Kira be a dream dog!

Kira ist eine semmelblonde, wunderschöne, powervolle, stattliche Hündin (ca. 60 cm). Die Hündin ist geimpft, gechipt und kastriert. Sie ist sehr verschmust und menschenbezogen, braucht aber eine klare, liebevolle Erziehung. Auch sollte man Freude an ausgiebiger Beschäftigung eines Hundes haben. Sie ist 9 Jahre alt (Oktober 2017 geboren). Der Papa ist ein Labrador (Arbeitslinie) und die Mutter ein Schäfer – Hütehundmix. Kira ist aufgrund des starken Jagdtriebs nicht ableinbar. Katzen und Kleintiere sollten nicht im neuen Zuhause sein. Mit anderen Hunden ist Kira teilweise verträglich. Momentan sind Hundebegegnungen bei Spaziergängen nicht so ganz einfach zu händeln. Über ihr Rudel und ihr Zuhause wacht sie gewissenhaft. Kira kommuniziert gerne und mit ihrer eindrucksvollen Stimme. Es kommt daher nur ein Haus mit sicher umzäuntem Garten in Frage. Kira kann eine wundervolle Begleiterin sein. Sie ist sehr aufgeschlossen und fährt gerne im Auto mit. Die Hündin versucht einerseits sehr zu gefallen, testet andererseits aber immer wieder Grenzen aus. Daher sollten auch keine Kinder im neuen Zuhause sein. Momentan lebt Kira bei einer Pflegestelle mit anderen Hunden zusammen. Das Pflegefrauchen ist froh, dass sie diesen eigentlich tollen Hund kennen lernen durfte, weiß gleichzeitig aber auch, dass sie dem Hund nicht gerecht werden kann. Nur an einem passenden Platz wird Kira ein Traumhund sein! Eine

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Starnberg in Starnberg.

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.
