How do I contact the shelter about Kira?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum 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 — TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum 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 TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum 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.

, FAX -24DI - FR , SA 10 - 13 Uhr _Slider 350 © Tine Steinthaler I’m a young, playful, and curious dog. I haven’t seen much in my life yet. I want to explore the world—everything is exciting and wonderful. I can’t get enough of it and would love to play all day long. There’s still so much for me to learn. Will you support me? Shar-Pei-mix female, approximately 2 years old, is looking for her forever home. This lovely Shar-Pei-mix female came to our shelter as a stray. Unfortunately, her owner never got in touch, so now she’s searching for a loving and suitable home. At first, she appears uncertain and reserved around strangers. However, if given enough time, she warms up and builds trust. Due to her past experiences, she still has quite a bit to learn and sometimes shows a bit of distance when interacting with people. Therefore, her new owners should enjoy continuing to work with her and providing her with clear structures. As is typical for her breed, she has an independent character and can be quite stubborn. Anyone with Shar-Pei experience or who appreciates her special qualities will find her to be an interesting companion. We’d prefer to place our dog in a single-dog household. Living together with a confident male dog is possible, depending on mutual compatibility. Other animals, especially cats, shouldn’t live in the same household. Children in the new home should already be older and familiar with respectful interactions with dogs, as she tends to react uncertainly to unfamiliar situations at first. If you’d like to give this special dog with character a chance at a fresh start, feel free to come and meet her. With patience, understanding, and consistent guidance, she’ll grow into a loyal companion. Your donation will be used purposefully and efficiently. Please support us by purchasing food donations!

Ich will die Welt entdecken, alles ist spannend und wundervoll. Kann mich nicht satt sehen und möchte den ganzen Tag spielen. Ich muss noch viel lernen. Unterstützt du mich? Was Kira braucht: Ein ruhiges Zuhause bei Menschen, die ihr Zeit zum Ankommen geben und Freude daran haben, mit ihr zu arbeiten. Klare Strukturen, Geduld und eine konsequente, liebevolle Führung helfen ihr, Sicherheit zu gewinnen. Shar-Pei-Erfahrung oder die Bereitschaft, sich mit den Besonderheiten der Rasse auseinanderzusetzen, wären von Vorteil. Was Kira NICHT braucht: Ein Zuhause mit Katzen oder anderen Kleintieren. Am liebsten wäre sie Einzelhund, ein souveräner Rüde könnte je nach Sympathie aber gut zu ihr passen. Kleine Kinder sollten ebenfalls nicht im Haushalt leben – ältere, hundeerfahrene Kinder sind hingegen gut vorstellbar. Wer einer besonderen Hündin mit viel Charakter eine zweite Chance geben möchte, findet in Kira mit etwas Geduld eine treue Begleiterin. Jetzt Termin vereinbaren und Kira kennenlernen!

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a senior mixed breed dog waiting at TIKO Tierschutzkompetenzzentrum in Klagenfurt.

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 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.
