Kira Shephard

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Kira arrived to us as part of a trio of female Shephards, together with Morgan & Nina. They come from the countryside, where they, like many other animals who had to be divided between various rescues, had been under the care of a woman who sadly took her own life, and the animals stayed behind. They are of course very bonded and live well together, but they also each have their own characters and are also independent individuals. Kira loves her friends very much, but she does also really enjoy one-on-one attention from humans and activities away from the shelter and the pack. While in the shelter she is of course stressed, and under- and over-simulated at the same time, then away from the shelter she very quickly shows a balanced, quieter, focused but relaxed side of her. Kira is very nice with humans, and loves their company. It is a pleasure to go walking in the nature with her, she walks on the leash like melted butter, and contrary to many German Shephards, who are often nervous and all over the place, Kira is really soft and easy to guide on the leash when walking in the nature, a very pleasant companion. When she is by herself, she seeks connection with the human, and builds a communication very quickly - not in a demanding way, as in "let's do something, now!", but more as in just being together, going on an adventure together. Of course, like all intelligent dogs, she enjoys engagements and doing little exercises and tricks, but she does not overwhelm you with demands for activity. Kira travels well in the car. When passing other dogs on nature walks, she mostly is calm and minds her own business, unless a dog really invades her space and comes to her face, then she can bark them off, if not suitable playing friends for her liking. Kira is looking for a home with an balanced, active person with previous dog experience, preferably with Shephards or similar breeds. She could join a home without other dogs, or with good introduction, a home with another social, confident dog, or she could also of course be adopted with 1 or both of her friends - Morgan & Nina. Kira's shoulder height is 60cm.

About Kira Shephard

What life with Kira Shephard looks like

Kira Shephard is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kira Shephard, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kira Shephard?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Triple A Marbella handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kira Shephard on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kira Shephard if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Triple A Marbella 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 Shephard 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 Shephard 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 Triple A Marbella early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kira Shephard 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 (EN). 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.
