Kira

Beagle · Female · Senior · 13 years

Kira is a lovely 18-month-old female Beagle, surrendered to the shelter after a move abroad. Very friendly and sociable with other dogs, Kira also has all the energy and curiosity of a young Beagle. She previously lived in a house with a garden, but already had several difficulties: she tried to escape, could destroy objects and sometimes had problems with cleanliness. Loneliness is particularly complicated for her. When she is alone, Kira can try to escape and show surprising ingenuity, even opening doors. She is a lively, energetic dog that needs a lot of attention and still needs to learn to channel herself. Her future home will need to understand that a Beagle is not just a cute little family dog: it is also an active, curious and highly intelligent hunting dog. Her ideal home: Available and active adopters. Good knowledge of the Beagle and its needs. A perfectly secure environment to prevent escapes.

Kira est une adorable femelle Beagle d'1 an et demi, confiée au refuge à la suite d'un déménagement à l'étranger. Très gentille et sociable avec les autres chiens, Kira possède aussi toute l'énergie et la curiosité d'un jeune Beagle. Elle vivait auparavant dans une maison avec jardin, mais présentait déjà plusieurs difficultés : elle cherchait à fuguer, pouvait détruire des objets et rencontrait parfois des problèmes de propreté. La solitude est particulièrement compliquée pour elle. Lorsqu'elle se retrouve seule, Kira peut chercher à s'échapper et faire preuve d'une étonnante ingéniosité, allant jusqu'à ouvrir les portes. C'est une chienne vive, débordante d'énergie, qui demande beaucoup d'attention et qui a encore besoin d'apprendre à se canaliser. Son futur foyer devra comprendre qu'un Beagle n'est pas uniquement un petit chien de famille attendrissant : c'est aussi un chien de chasse, actif, curieux et doté d'un excellent flair. Son foyer idéal : Des adoptants disponibles et actifs. Une bonne connaissance du Beagle et de ses besoins. Un environnement parfaitement sécurisé pour prévenir les fugues.

About Kira

What life with Kira looks like

Kira is a small senior beagle dog waiting at SRPA Veeweyde Brussels in Brussels.

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.

Note from the shelter: Leg problems requiring gentle walks only, needs house training, must wear muzzle, no other animals or children

🇧🇪Adopting from Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

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. SRPA Veeweyde Brussels 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 — SRPA Veeweyde Brussels 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 SRPA Veeweyde Brussels 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.
