Description:
Sweet, cuddly, and goofy, Kira is a charming girl who can't wait to steal your heart! Kira is estimated to be 9 months old and is a wiggly girl who loves with her whole heart. She bonds quickly with people and is the type of dog who always wants to be touching you when on the couch together. She adores cuddle time and is happiest when she can be included in all things fun. Kira appears to be mostly full-grown and is a petite girl weighing only 29lbs. Kira came to us from a Northern California shelter after she was found as a stray and wasn't claimed by a family. Due to overcrowding at the shelter, she was at risk of euthanasia, and we were happy to be able to step in and save her. She definitely acts like she has been in a home before, and she has settled in well to life in her foster home. Kira is such an affectionate girl who will woo you by lovingly looking into your eyes and making herself comfy in your lap. While she can be a little suspicious when she meets new people, she is quick to warm up and then will be your BFF for life. She is a playful girl who loves to play fetch and tug. She is also a big fan of zooming around the yard and being goofy. She would love an active family who can keep up with her puppy energy. She recently went on a camping trip with his foster parents and did great out in the wilderness. She seems to already know stuff like sit and paw, and is overall a well-mannered girl at home (although she may try to sneakily chew on your shoes). Kira doesn't seem to have been well socialized with being out and about, and is working with a trainer on her reactivity. She needs a family who can continue her training to help her thrive. Kira loved hanging out with other playful dogs at the shelter, but has been more than happy to be an only dog in her foster home. Kira needs a kitty-free home. Kira has done great in a home with teenagers and could be a wonderful addition to a home with kids over 12 years old. Kira is house and crate trained. She is content to hang out in her crate during the work day and loves seeing her daily dog walkers for midday playtime and cuddles. She does well sleeping through the night in her crate, but would have no problem joining you in bed if you let her. Kira is such an amazing girl who deserves a family just as great as her.

Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm, started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations before adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to their age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption.
