Adopt Kira

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 10 years

Kira born in December 2016, medium/large size. Arrived at the animal shelter because her family no longer had time for her. She compensates for her little affinity towards her own kind with affection and the search for human contact. We are looking for a dynamic family that can involve her in various activities that allow her to best express her potential. Mastiffs and Bullies can give infinite joy and love, but they also have endless vitality, exuberance, and energy. Therefore, their adoption requires even more commitment, and the awareness that it may be necessary to have the support of a dog trainer to facilitate her integration into the new family environment and her management. Dewormed, spayed, negative for heartworm and up to date with vaccinations, a pre-adoption home check is mandatory. She is located at the animal shelter of San Giuliano Mestre. Would you like to meet her?

Kira nata nel dicembre 2016, taglia medio/grande. Arrivata in rifugio perché la sua famiglia non aveva più tempo da dedicarle. Compensa la poca simpatia nei confronti dei propri simili con l’affettuosità e la ricerca del contatto umano. Cerchiamo per lei una famiglia dinamica che possa coinvolgerla in svariate attività che le permettano di esprimere al meglio le proprie potenzialità.I molossi e i bulli sanno regalare gioia e amore infiniti, ma hanno anche una vivacità, esuberanza ed energia interminabili. La loro adozione quindi richiede ancora maggior impegno, e la consapevolezza che potrebbe essere necessario un iniziale affiancamento da parte di un educatore per facilitarne l’inserimento nel nuovo ambiente familiare e la sua gestione. Sverminata, sterilizzata, negativa alla filaria e in regola con le vaccinazioni, è obbligatoria la visita di preaffido. Si trova presso il rifugio di San Giuliano Mestre. Ti piacerebbe conoscerla?

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a medium-sized senior mixed breed dog waiting at ENPA Mira — Il Rifugio del Cane (Venezia) in Venezia VE.

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 Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

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. ENPA Mira — Il Rifugio del Cane (Venezia) 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 — ENPA Mira — Il Rifugio del Cane (Venezia) 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 ENPA Mira — Il Rifugio del Cane (Venezia) 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 (IT). 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.
