Adopt KIRA

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Kira came to us after a rescue investigation. She is a kind and very people-oriented dog who greatly enjoys the presence of humans. Still very lively for her age, she loves playing, going for walks... and jumping into water whenever she gets the chance! Kira will thrive in a house with a garden where she can let off steam between two daily outings. She can live with older teenagers who are able to respect her pace and energy. However, Kira is not okay with other dogs or cats and must be the only animal in the home.

Read original (fr)

Kira est arrivée chez nous suite à un retrait après enquête. C’est une chienne gentille et très sociable humain, qui apprécie énormément la présence de l’humain. Encore vive pour son âge, elle adore jouer, profiter des balades… et se jeter à l’eau dès qu’elle en a l’occasion ! Kira s’épanouira dans une maison avec jardin, où elle pourra se défouler entre deux sorties quotidiennes. Elle pourra vivre avec de grands adolescents, capables de respecter son rythme et son énergie. En revanche, Kira n’est pas ok chiens ni chats, et devra être le seul animal du foyer.

About KIRA

What life with KIRA looks like

KIRA is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Arras (Tilloy) in Arras.

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 France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

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. SPA Arras (Tilloy) 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 — SPA Arras (Tilloy) 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 SPA Arras (Tilloy) 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 (FR). 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.
