Adopt Kyra

Female · Adult · 7 years

I have been staying at the animal shelter since May 2020, but due to an injury, I was temporarily not available on the site. Originally, I am a Greek lady and have been in the Netherlands since puppyhood. Unfortunately, I have learned very little in terms of social rules with people and other animals. Now, I also have a lot of energy, and this combination makes me quite tough to handle. But with the emphasis on "can," because once I have a master standing beside me who takes the initiative and guides me well, I will no longer react so explosively. My new master must have enough experience in training dogs, because I really need a lot of guidance. There is also a lot of uncertainty in me, which makes my behavior quite complex in terms of finding the right balance of help I need to discover new things and when I should be somewhat restricted. Here at the animal shelter, I am already making great progress and have also participated in Dutch Cell Dogs training sessions.

Inmiddels verblijf ik al sinds mei 2020 in het asiel maar vanwege een blessure was ik tijdelijk niet op de site te vinden. Oorspronkelijk ben ik een Griekse dame en ben al vanaf pup af aan in Nederland. Jammer genoeg heb ik nog maar weinig geleerd in de vorm van omgangsregels met mensen en andere dieren. Nu is het zo dat ik ook nog eens barstensvol met energie zit en die combinatie zorgt er voor dat ik behoorlijk pittig uit de hoek kan komen. Wel met de nadruk op kan, want zodra ik een baas naast mij heb staan die het voortouw neemt en mij hier goed in begeleid dan zal ik ook niet meer zo explosief reageren. Mijn nieuwe baas moet wel de nodige ervaring hebben in het trainen van honden, want ik heb echt nog wel een stuk begeleiding nodig. Er zit ook een stuk onzekerheid in mij en dat maakt mijn gedrag in die zin best complex om de juiste balans te vinden in hulp die ik nodig heb om nieuwe dingen te ontdekken en op welke momenten ik best wel een beetje begrenst mag worden. Hier in het asiel ga ik wel al met sprongen vooruit en heb ik ook meegedaan met Dutch Cell Dogs trainingen.

About Kyra

What life with Kyra looks like

Kyra is a adult dog waiting at Dierenasiel Crailo in Hilversum.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kyra, answered.

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