Adopt Kira

Female · Young · 1 year

A kind and somewhat cautious girl is looking for her safe place. Kira is a kind and somewhat cautious Cane corso mix who may need some time when meeting new people. With patience, calmness and security, she eventually relaxes and shows her warm and gentle side. When Kira feels comfortable, she loves closeness and affection, and she hasn't quite realized how big she is; she often tries to crawl into someone's lap to get close. Once she has gotten to know someone, she quickly forms a strong bond and thrives best in safe, stable relationships where she gets clarity and feels secure in daily life. As a protective dog type, Kira naturally has some guarding instinct, and she can react to certain dogs during meetings. Therefore, she needs continued secure, calm, and structured guidance in both dog meetings and everyday situations, where clarity and consistency create security for her. She is a cautious and gentle girl at heart who does her best when she understands what is expected of her and receives the right support from her human. Right now, Kira is somewhat thin and needs time to build up muscle and body in a balanced way through balanced diet and adapted exercise. With the right conditions, stability and a calm leadership, she has good opportunities to continue developing and feel well in her daily life. Kira is looking for a quiet and experienced home that can give her security, clarity, and time to settle into her new routine. She needs a stable and predictable environment without too much stress, where she can build trust at her own pace and develop in peace and calm. Kira is best suited for someone who understands larger dogs with a guarding instinct and who can provide her with a secure and consistent guidance in daily life. A home in a quieter environment, preferably more nature-oriented, would suit her well as she feels good in a calm surroundings and clear boundaries. With the right person by her side, Kira is a very loving and loyal dog who truly thrives when she feels safe, understood, and settles into stable routines. Answer the questions below to get an indication of how your daily life and plans match a dog's needs. It helps both you and us to find the right matching and give the dog a safe home. You need to take the test before you can submit your interest application.

En snäll och lite försiktig tjej söker sin trygga punkt Kira är en snäll och lite försiktig Cane corso-blandning som kan behöva lite tid när hon möter nya människor. Med tålamod, lugn och trygghet slappnar hon dock av och visar då sin varma och mjuka sida istället. När Kira känner sig bekväm tycker hon mycket om närhet och gos, och hon har inte riktigt förstått hur stor hon är; hon försöker gärna krypa upp i knät för att komma nära. När hon väl lärt känna någon knyter hon snabbt ett starkt band och trivs bäst i trygga, stabila relationer där hon får tydlighet och får känna sig säker i vardagen. Som den vaktande hundtyp Kira är har hon såklart en del vakt i sig, och hon kan reagera på vissa hundar i möten. Därför behöver hon fortsatt trygg, lugn och strukturerad vägledning i både hundmöten och vardagliga situationer, där tydlighet och konsekvens skapar trygghet för henne. Hon är en försiktig och mild tjej i grunden som gör sitt allra bästa när hon förstår vad som förväntas och får rätt stöd från sin människa. Just nu är Kira något tunn i hullet och behöver tid för att bygga upp både muskler och kropp i lagom takt genom balanserad kost och anpassad motion. Med rätt förutsättningar, stabilitet och ett lugnt ledarskap har hon goda möjligheter att fortsätta utvecklas och må bra i sin vardag. Kira söker ett lugnt och erfaret hem som kan ge henne trygghet, tydlighet och tid att landa i sin nya vardag. Hon behöver en stabil och förutsägbar miljö utan för mycket stress, där hon får möjlighet att bygga förtroende i sin egen takt och utvecklas i lugn och ro. Kira passar bäst hos någon som har förståelse för större hundar med vakt i sig och som kan ge henne en trygg och konsekvent vägledning i vardagen. Ett hem i en lugnare miljö, gärna mer naturnära, skulle passa henne väl då hon mår bra av lugn omgivning och tydliga ramar. Med rätt person vid sin sida är Kira en mycket kärleksfull och lojal hund som verkligen blommar ut när hon får känna sig trygg, förstådd och får landa i stabila rutiner. Svara på frågorna nedan för att få en indikation på hur din vardag och dina planer stämmer med en hunds behov. Det hjälper både dig och oss att hitta rätt matchning och ge hunden ett tryggt hem. Du behöver göra testet innan du kan skicka in din intresseanmälan.

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a large young adult dog waiting at Hundstallet in Stockholm.

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 Sweden

Swedish shelters require an adoption application and home visit. Animals are chipped, vaccinated, and sterilized. Cross-border placements within the EU use the standard pet passport.

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. Hundstallet 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 — Hundstallet 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 Hundstallet 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 (SV). 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.
