How do I contact the shelter about Kira?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not 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 — A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not 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 A.C.E. Animal Compassion Europe - Tiere in Not 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.

Kira

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 6 months

Kira is a friendly, open-minded, people-oriented and playful young female dog who was saved from certain death by the quick thinking of an attentive truck driver. The young puppy wandered completely disoriented on a highway. The driver slammed on his brakes and blocked the road to prevent Kira from being hit. When he got out of the truck, she immediately approached him trustingly. He brought her to safety and contacted us. Fortunately, we had an available spot and were able to take Kira in. Kira was incredibly lucky. Just a few moments could have ended her story very differently. Instead, she now has the chance at a sheltered life with people who love her and will never leave her side again. Today, Kira is a happy, open and playful young dog. She quickly settled into her dog group, loves to romp around with her canine friends and approaches her surroundings curiously and carefree. She values human interaction very much. She enjoys every petting session and crawls up close to her caregiver for cuddles. Her loving and affectionate nature makes it hard not to fall in love with her. At just five months old, Kira already has a shoulder height of about 49 cm. She is expected to reach an adult size of 60-65 cm and grow into a stately female dog. For Kira, we are looking for an active family who enjoys discovering the world together with her. People who love sports, long walks, hikes or other joint activities and at the same time give her the time to learn the basics of being a dog. Kira brings all the right qualities to become a loyal companion for many adventures together. Now she just needs one thing: a home of her own. Who will give this wonderful dog the future she so richly deserves after her difficult start in life? They are all vaccinated, chipped and have an EU passport. They are checked for age-appropriate Mediterranean diseases. See the information on our homepage. Every dog placed makes room for one of those dogs who must live their lives starving and emaciated.

freundlich, aufgeschlossen, menschenbezogen, verspiekt Manchmal entscheidet ein einziger Mensch über Leben und Tod. Bei Kira war es ein aufmerksamer LKW-Fahrer. Die junge Hündin irrte völlig orientierungslos auf einer Autobahn umher. Geistesgegenwärtig bremste der Fahrer seinen LKW ab und blockierte die Fahrbahn, damit Kira nicht überfahren wurde. Als er ausstieg, kam sie sofort vertrauensvoll auf ihn zu. Er brachte sie in Sicherheit und kontaktierte uns. Zum Glück hatten wir noch einen Platz frei und konnten Kira aufnehmen. Kira hatte unglaubliches Glück. Nur wenige Augenblicke hätten gereicht und ihre Geschichte hätte ganz anders enden können. Stattdessen hat sie nun die Chance auf ein behütetes Leben bei Menschen, die sie lieben und nie wieder im Stich lassen. Heute ist Kira eine fröhliche, offene und verspielte Junghündin. Sie hat sich schnell in ihrer Hundegruppe eingelebt, liebt es mit ihren Hundekumpels zu toben und begegnet ihrer Umgebung neugierig und unbeschwert. Menschen bedeuten ihr sehr viel. Sie genießt jede Streicheleinheit und robbt sich zum Kuscheln am liebsten ganz nah an ihre Bezugsperson heran. Ihre liebevolle und anhängliche Art macht es schwer, sich nicht in sie zu verlieben. Mit gerade einmal fünf Monaten hat Kira bereits eine Schulterhöhe von etwa 49 cm. Sie wird voraussichtlich eine Endgröße von 6065 cm erreichen und zu einer stattlichen Hündin heranwachsen. Für Kira wünschen wir uns eine aktive Familie, die Freude daran hat, gemeinsam mit ihr die Welt zu entdecken. Menschen, die gerne sportlich unterwegs sind, lange Spaziergänge, Wanderungen oder andere gemeinsame Aktivitäten lieben und ihr gleichzeitig die Zeit geben, das Hunde-ABC zu lernen. Kira bringt die besten Voraussetzungen mit, eine treue Begleiterin für viele gemeinsame Abenteuer zu werden. Jetzt fehlt ihr nur noch das Wichtigste: ein eigenes Zuhause. Wer schenkt dieser wundervollen Hündin die Zukunft, die sie nach ihrem schweren Start ins Leben so sehr verdient? sind alle geimpft, gechipt und haben einen EU-Ausweis. Sie werden altersentsprechend auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten gecheckt. Siehe dazu Info auf unserer Homepage. Jeder vermittelte Hund macht Platz für einen jener Hunde, die hungernd und ausgemergelt ihr Dasein fristen müssen. AUFENTHALTSORT
