Kira

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 7 months

Kira ist eine etwa 7 Monate alte Hündin, die aus schlechter Haltung zu uns gekommen ist. Ihr Start ins Leben war alles andere als leicht, und vieles, was für andere Junghunde selbstverständlich ist, muss sie erst noch lernen. Die neue Umgebung im Tierheim stresst sie sehr, weshalb es ihr momentan schwerfällt, sich zu konzentrieren oder Grundsignale aufzunehmen. Da Kira bisher weder Leine noch Grundkommandos kennt und sich schnell überfordert fühlt, wäre Hundeerfahrung von Vorteil. Menschen, die bereits mit unsicheren oder unerfahrenen Junghunden gearbeitet haben, können ihr die nötige Sicherheit geben und sie Schritt für Schritt an ein stabiles Leben heranführen. Trotz ihrer Unsicherheit zeigt Kira jeden Tag, wie viel Lebensfreude in ihr steckt: Sie spielt gern, sucht Nähe und genießt Streicheleinheiten sehr. Hat sie einmal Vertrauen gefasst, blüht sie richtig auf. Für Kira wünschen wir uns ein ruhiges, geduldiges Zuhause, das Verständnis für ihre Vorgeschichte hat und Freude daran, gemeinsam mit ihr zu wachsen. Mit Zeit, Liebe und klarer Struktur wird aus ihr eine wunderbare Begleiterin. Pettersson 24926 und Findus 24915

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Landestierschutzverein Steiermark in Graz.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇦🇹Adopting from Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included; fees typically range €150–€350.

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. Landestierschutzverein Steiermark 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 — Landestierschutzverein Steiermark 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 Landestierschutzverein Steiermark 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.
