Kira

Female · Young · 1 year

Kira is a Beagle and Hound mix who was abandoned by hunters and found wandering in a state of severe malnutrition and dermatitis by a special family who is caring for her but cannot keep her. Now Kira is doing well, she is microchipped, vaccinated and negative to Leishmania and Ehrlichia tests. She will be spayed soon. As an adult, she will be small in size. She is well socialized, used to a leash and going to the bathroom outside. We urgently seek a responsible adoption: after what she has been through and after experiencing the love of a family and the certainty of a home, we would like to avoid the experience of a shelter. She is in a shelter in Avola and is adoptable in the area and in Central and Northern Italy, after the usual pre and post-adoption process: Pre and post-adoption interviews Signing adoption forms For more information: WhatsApp message to 3478059303 or email

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a small young adult dog waiting at Canisciolti ODV in Italy.

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 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. Canisciolti ODV 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 — Canisciolti ODV 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 Canisciolti ODV 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.
