Kyva &#8211

Mixed Breed · Female

Kyva, a charming female dog, is a six-month-old Galgo-Mix girl who is seeking a special place in your heart and home. Her story began tragically: she was abandoned and found lying on the street by animal rescuers. However, Kyva's fate took a turn for the better when she found shelter with a loving foster family in Spain, thanks to the experienced rescuers at "El Buen Amigo." There, Kyva shows herself to be an exceptionally trainable and intelligent female dog. Despite her tender age, where one would expect a lot of sparkle in her step, she is remarkably balanced and knows how to exude calm. Her gentle nature makes her a wonderful companion who always seeks proximity and contact with people. She loves being stroked and cuddled and shows her affection in enchanting ways. Kyva gets along very well with other dogs and enjoys playing and romping together. She has also already become acquainted with children and shows them a friendly and patient demeanor. Kyva has already learned to give her owners admiring glances and behaves like a true lady on the leash. Kyva is a representative of the great Windhound family, known for their elegance, speed, and special sensitivity. Windhounds like Kyva were originally bred for speed and endurance, which gives them a slender, athletic appearance. These dogs are notorious for their ability to move quickly and have a strong prey drive. However, they are also characterized by a gentle and clingy nature, making them exceptional family members. If you wish to give Kyva a loving home, you will not only enrich your life with a loyal and affectionate companion but also give a wonderful dog the chance at a happy life. Contact us to learn more about Kyva and perhaps meet the friendly princess in person.

Kyva, eine bezaubernde Hündin, ist eine sechs Monate altes Galgo-Mix-Mädchen, das einen besonderen Platz in Ihrem Herzen und Zuhause sucht. Ihre Geschichte begann traurig: Sie wurde ausgesetzt und von Tierschützern auf der Straße liegend gefunden. Doch Kyvas Schicksal wendete sich zum Guten, als sie dank den erfahrenen Rettern von „El Buen Amigo“ bei einer liebevollen Pflegefamilie in Spanien Obdach fand. Dort zeigt sich Kyva als äußerst lernfähige und intelligente Hündin. Trotz ihres zarten Alters, in dem man eigentlich jede Menge Glitzerknete im Kopf erwartet, ist sie erstaunlich ausgeglichen und versteht es, Ruhe auszustrahlen. Ihre zärtliche Art macht sie zu einer wundervollen Begleiterin, die stets Nähe und den Kontakt zu Menschen sucht. Sie liebt es, gestreichelt und gekuschelt zu werden, und zeigt ihre Zuneigung auf bezaubernde Weise. Mit anderen Hunden ist Kyva sehr verträglich und genießt das gemeinsame Spielen und Toben. Auch Kinder hat sie bereits kennengelernt und zeigt sich ihnen gegenüber freundlich und geduldig. Kyva hat schon gelernt, wie man seinen Besitzern bewundernde Blicke einbringt, und an der Leine zeigt sie sich als echte Lady. Kyva ist eine Vertreterin der großen Familie der Windhunde, die für ihre Eleganz, Schnelligkeit und besondere Sensibilität bekannt sind. Windhunde wie Kyva sind ursprünglich auf Schnelligkeit und Ausdauer gezüchtet worden, was ihnen ein schlankes, athletisches Erscheinungsbild verleiht. Diese Hunde sind dafür berüchtigt, dass sie sich schnell bewegen und eine starke Beuteorientierung haben. Doch zugleich zeichnen sie sich durch eine sanfte und anhängliche Natur aus, die sie zu außergewöhnlichen Familienmitgliedern macht. Wenn Sie Kyva ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchten, bereichern Sie nicht nur Ihr Leben mit einem treuen und liebevollen Begleiter, sondern geben auch einem wunderbaren Hund die Chance auf ein glückliches Leben. Kontaktieren Sie uns, um mehr über Kyva zu erfahren und die freundliche Prinzessin vielleicht bald schon persönlich kennenzulernen.

About Kyva &#8211

What life with Kyva &#8211 looks like

Kyva &#8211 is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. in Gernsbach.

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 Kyva &#8211, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kyva &#8211?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein ARCA e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Kyva &#8211 on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kyva &#8211 if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein ARCA 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 Kyva &#8211 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 Kyva &#8211 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 ARCA e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kyva &#8211 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.
