Kira

Female · Young · 1 year

Kira arrived at the refuge in August 2025 after being rescued by a couple who noticed she was not living the life she deserved. From the very beginning, she showed what a gentle and affectionate dog she is, and she settled into refuge life quickly with a calm and friendly nature.She walks nicely on the lead and is comfortable and relaxed around people, enjoying attention and companionship. Kira has a soft, sweet personality and takes everything in her stride, making her an easy dog to spend time with.She was recently adopted and enjoyed being in a home environment, where she settled in very well and showed how much she benefits from family life. Unfortunately, she has had to return to the refuge through no fault of her own, as her adopters were relocating and were unable to take a dog into their new accommodation.It is clear that Kira thrives in a home setting, and it would be wonderful for her to find another loving family soon. She has already experienced how well she fits into home life, and she truly deserves the chance to settle again, this time permanently, in a stable and caring environment where she can continue to flourish.

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a large young adult dog waiting at Live PAWS Tenerife in Spain.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

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. Live PAWS Tenerife 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 — Live PAWS Tenerife 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 Live PAWS Tenerife 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 (EN). 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.
