Kiri

Mixed Breed · Female

The lovely Kiri came to us as a found animal at our shelter and is now waiting to find her new human family. With her cheerful, playful, and cuddly nature, she brings a lot of joy and regularly causes laughter. Kiri is an energetic female dog who loves to be on the go but also enjoys the company of her people. She walks well on a leash, knows a few basic commands, and reliably accompanies our walking groups on their walks. She generally gets along well with other dogs – as often is the case, her affability also plays a role. Typical of Kiri is that she sometimes likes to play the "big shot" and loudly comments on other dogs or exciting things. She can be approached and talked out of such behavior, so this usually subsides quickly. Despite her lively nature, there are also moments when Kiri is unsure. She approaches new situations or unknown things cautiously and needs some time to build trust. Thunderstorms especially scare her. In such moments, she wishes for people who can give her security and orientation. For Kiri, we are looking for a loving home with people who enjoy the company of an active and attached companion. Children should ideally be a bit older due to her lively nature. Kiri has not yet been tested with cats, so we prefer a home without cats.

Die liebenswerte Kiri kam als Fundtier zu uns ins Tierheim und wartet nun darauf, ihre neuen Menschen zu finden. Mit ihrer fröhlichen, verspielten und verschmusten Art bringt sie jede Menge gute Laune mit und sorgt regelmäßig für Lacher. Kiri ist eine aufgeweckte Hündin, die gerne unterwegs ist, aber genauso die Nähe ihrer Menschen genießt. Sie läuft gut an der Leine, kennt bereits einige Grundkommandos und begleitet unsere Gassigruppen zuverlässig auf ihren Spaziergängen. Dabei zeigt sie sich anderen Hunden gegenüber grundsätzlich verträglich – wie so oft entscheidet aber auch bei ihr die Sympathie. Typisch Kiri ist, dass sie hin und wieder gerne mal den „großen Macker“ spielt und andere Hunde oder spannende Dinge lautstark kommentiert. Sie lässt sich dabei jedoch gut ansprechen und aus der Situation herausnehmen, sodass sich dieses Verhalten meist schnell wieder legt. Trotz ihrer lebensfrohen Art gibt es auch Momente, in denen Kiri unsicher ist. Neue Situationen oder unbekannte Dinge betrachtet sie zunächst vorsichtig und braucht etwas Zeit, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Besonders Gewitter machen ihr Angst. In solchen Momenten wünscht sie sich Menschen, die ihr Sicherheit und Orientierung geben. Für Kiri suchen wir ein liebevolles Zuhause bei Menschen, die Freude an einer aktiven und anhänglichen Begleiterin haben. Kinder sollten aufgrund ihrer lebhaften Art idealerweise schon etwas älter sein. Mit Katzen wurde Kiri bislang nicht getestet, weshalb wir ein Zuhause ohne Katzen bevorzugen würden.

About Kiri

What life with Kiri looks like

Kiri is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein Trier und Umgebung e.V. in Germany.

An 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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kiri, answered.

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