My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Kieira has settled in very nicely. She and the resident boy Donkie have become fast friends. I don’t believe Kieira has separation anxiety. When I put her in her crate to run to the grocery store or out for an errand, she goes in the crate nicely and does not protest, whine or bark. When I am home, she needs to see me. If I’m in the shower, she’ll whine if I close the bathroom door so I keep it open for her. Once she sees I’m in there, she’s fine. She does not exhibit any other signs of separation anxiety at all. She’s been great for my boy who used to hate his crate. Now he doesn’t mind it at all. I know he loves the company. Kieira is fully housebroken and has had no accidents since she’s been here. She has no issues with food or water and is a sweet girl. She has been good with dogs she has met. Still haven’t seen any cats on our walks so don’t know how she will act around them. We are working on our hand signals with her as well. Takes some time but we’ll get there. Kieira is just a sweet girl and I just love her!

We love having Keira at our house, she makes us and Donkie very happy. Keira can't wait to find her forever home and we know she will make you and your family very happy!

Meet Kiera! Kiera is a 1.5 year old White Deaf female that is being surrendered because her current families living situation has changed. Kiera is coming into the program with her brother Riddick who is also deaf. Kiera is your typical young boxer girl that is full of wiggles, kisses and energy! Kiera is a very excited girl when greeting people and will tend to jump on them when she first meets them, however, she calms down pretty quickly. She currently lives with small children and is good with the kids. She has some food allergies which are common with the Boxer Breed, so she’ll need to be put on a quality food (see our nutrition section of our site) Kiera has recently started showing some signs of separation anxiety, where if her owner leaves the room and shuts a door, Kiera will claw at the door to get out. This is also behavior of some deaf dogs that are not familiar with their surroundings, as they tend to rely on their sight and smell sense that much more; as Kiera never displayed this behavior in the last place they lived.
Kiera does well with other dogs and is crate trained. The only basic command she knows is sit, so she will need obedience training and leash walk training ( for simple signs for a deaf dog, please follow this link: Deaf Dogs.
As Kiera is deaf, she would benefit from a canine companion and a fully fenced in yard. To learn more about deaf dogs, please visit this link: Deaf Dogs.
