My story

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

Introducing Kika! This sweet 1 year old Australian Cattle Dog mix wants to be your best buddy! Kika loves to play, gobble up treats, and chase tennis balls. With her high energy level, she`d thrive with an active family who loves outdoor adventures! Even though she`s active, she has her calm moments too and will cuddle up by your side after all the fun has resided. She loves affection and won`t hesitate to give you kisses once she`s comfortable!

Kika came to us as a stray, fearful at first. She has been opening up with staff day by day and is familiar with the routine now, but she can be very shy with strangers in the beginning. Once she gets more familiar with you, she`ll start showing off her true personality! Kika is a bright light, and with a trusting human next to her every step of the way, we know she`ll thrive.

She seems to be a quick learner and is very curious of the world around her. Kika does great in the car and really is such a loving girl. We know she will make a very special companion for an adopter, so come on down to the shelter to meet her yourself!

More about this shelter

The Humane Society of Southwest Missouri is an independent, 501(c)3 non-profit organization incorporated in 1956 and licensed by the Missouri Department of Agriculture. ​Funding for the organization comes from private donations. We do not receive any funding from any government agencies. We are the largest No Kill shelter in Southwest Missouri. No Kill means we do not believe in euthanizing animals for space, and we are dedicated to finding a home for every animal that comes through our doors.

We receive our animals from people giving up their pets for a variety of reasons, including changes in family situations and moving. Some of our animals have been strays rescued from the streets by a kind citizen. All of our animals are looking for permanent and loving forever homes!
