Kira

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Kira: a very nice, friendly, happy and beautiful 6-year-old Husky lady looking for a forever home. Kira lived in Spain with a lady and was very happy there. However, the lady had to emigrate and Kira couldn't come with her. So she was brought to the shelter and this lovely lady came to us. And now we are going to help her find a new family! Kira is just a very nice girl! She loves people and finds it great to cuddle with you, but also wants to play with you and do silly things. However, she is really a husky and if she doesn't have time because she smells things or wants to discover, you have to wait. Kira knows house life and is very well-behaved in the kennel. She gets along well with other dogs and shares her kennel with another dog. We don't place her with cats. Kira is house-trained, could be left alone at home but would need to build this up again, and knows her commands, especially when she gets food in return. She is very friendly to people and would be great in a family, but very young children might be less suitable. She can be a bit clumsy in her play and also very enthusiastic with food, so with very young children this might be a bit awkward. But older children will be no problem for her. So we are looking for a nice place for Kira where people will go for walks with her, play with her and just love her a lot!

Kira: een hele leuke, vriendelijke, vrolijke en mooie Husky dame van 6 jaar jong die opzoek is naar een gouden mandje. Kira woonde in Spanje altijd bij een mevrouw en was hier gelukkig. Alleen ging zij emigreren en Kira kon niet mee. Zodoende heeft ze haar naar het asiel gebracht en is deze leuke dame bij ons gekomen. En wij gaan haar nu helpen zoeken naar een nieuwe familie! Kira is gewoon een hele leuke meid! Zij is gek op mensen en vindt het enig om met je te knuffelen maar wilt ook wel met je spelen en gekke dingen doen. Toch is ze echt een husky en als zij even geen tijd heeft omdat ze dingen ruikt of wilt ontdekken, moet je even wachten. Kira kent het huisleven en is hier in de kennel ook heel braaf. Ze kan het goed vinden met andere honden en deelt haar kennel ook met een andere hond. We plaatsen haar niet bij katten. Kira is zindelijk, kon prima alleen thuis zijn al zou ze dit natuurlijk weer even moeten opbouwen, en kent haar commando’s zeker als ze eten krijgt in ruil daarvoor. Ze is heel vriendelijk naar mensen en zal prima in een gezin kunnen wonen, maar hele jonge kinderen is misschien minder handig. Ze is soms wat lomp in haar spel en ook erg enthousiast met eten, dus met hele jonge kinderen is dit mogelijk wat onhandig. Maar oudere kinderen zal geen probleem voor haar zijn. Voor Kira zoeken wij dus een leuke plek waar mensen lekker met haar gaan wandelen, met haar spelen en gewoon veel van haar gaan houden!

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is an adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dierenopvang Koningen in Netherlands.

An 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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Many animals are sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement, but confirm with the shelter.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kira, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kira?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Dierenopvang Koningen 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Dierenopvang Koningen whether they will for Kira, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Kira already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Kira. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Dierenopvang Koningen, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Kira isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Dierenopvang Koningen about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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 (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
