Adopt Kiya

Mixed Breed · Female

Compatible with other animals: Yes Can be tested for compatibility with cats: can be tested Temporary residence: Romania Kiya is now approximately one year old and came from a public shelter – a place that is anything but suitable for a young, sensitive girl like her. Loud, hectic, and without security… yet Kiya has endured all of that and is now waiting for a new beginning. She is gentle, cautious, and full of longing for closeness. With a little patience, Kiya quickly builds trust and develops into a loving, loyal companion. At the same time, she is a young, lively, sometimes still wild girl. She loves to run around, explore the world, and show her overflowing energy. Kiya is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, not yet neutered, and has been checked by a veterinarian and is in possession of an EU pet passport. All of our dogs travel with official trace papers and Paragraph 11 approval to Germany. Our dogs are additionally tested for Mediterranean diseases via a quick test. The adoption fee is 500€ plus 30€ for the purchase of safety gear. Note: When we assign our dogs to certain breeds, we base our decision solely on their outward appearance and observable behavior (phenotype). This assignment is made with the best of intentions and knowledge of the club and the involved veterinarians. However, these descriptions do not necessarily correspond to the actual genetic makeup (genotype), as their reliable determination would only be possible through DNA analysis. Furthermore, the behavioral and character description of each animal is based on careful observations by animal welfare workers on site or by the respective foster facilities. It should be noted that these assessments are based solely on the current local conditions in the intake stations or foster facilities. Gets along with other dogs. Gets along with other cats.

Verträglich mit Artgenossen: Ja Verträglich mit Katzen: kann getestet werden Aufenthaltsort: Rumänien Kiya ist inzwischen etwa ein Jahr alt und stammt aus einem öffentlichen Shelter – einem Ort, der für ein junges, sensibles Hundemädchen wie sie alles andere als geeignet ist. Laut, hektisch und ohne Geborgenheit… doch Kiya hat all das überstanden und wartet nun auf ihren Neuanfang. Sie zeigt sich sanft, vorsichtig und voller Sehnsucht nach Nähe. Mit etwas Geduld fasst Kiya schnell Vertrauen und entwickelt sich zu einer liebevollen, treuen Begleiterin. Gleichzeitig ist sie ein junges, lebensfrohes, manchmal noch etwas wildes Mädchen. Sie liebt es, herumzuspringen, die Welt zu erkunden und ihre überschäumende Energie zu zeigen. Kiya ist geimpft, gechipt, entwurmt, noch nicht kastriert und tierärztlich gecheckt und im Besitz eines Eu-Heimtierausweises. Alle unsere Hunde reisen mit offiziellen Traces Papieren und Paragraph 11 Genehmigung nach Deutschland. Unsere Hunde werden zusätzlich per Schnelltest auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten getestet. Die Schutzgebühr beträgt 500€ plus 30€ für den Kauf des Sicherheitsgeschirres. Hinweis: Wenn wir unsere Hunde bestimmten Rassen zuordnen, so orientieren wir uns ausschließlich am äußeren Erscheinungsbild sowie am beobachtbaren Verhalten (Phänotyp).

About Kiya

What life with Kiya looks like

Kiya is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rescued Souls e.V. in Pfinztal.

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 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 Kiya, answered.

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