My story

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

Meet Kia   a lifetime of love, ready for one more chapter
 
Kia is a 15-year-old, 55-pound mixed breed with a gentle soul and a heart full of love to give. She has been cherished her whole life, and it shows in her calm demeanor and joyful spirit. Age has only softened her, it hasn’t dimmed her spark.
 
Despite being a senior, Kia still enjoys life’s simple pleasures. She loves her daily walks, trips to the garden center, and tagging along to a pet-friendly coffee shop. At home, you’ll often find her happily pouncing on soft toys, working on puzzle games, or soaking up the sun. She greets new people with a polite sniff and is content to stay close by, just enjoying your company.
 
Kia has done well with other dogs, she’s playful when off lead and generally relaxed on walks, preferring to keep to her side of the street and calmly pass by. She sleeps peacefully on her own bed at night and can stay home alone without any concerns. She’s house trained, though her “old lady bladder” appreciates a little extra help with potty breaks every 6–8 hours.
 
Kia does have arthritis but she has had thorough veterinary care including bloodwork, urine and fecal testing, and an abdominal ultrasound - all showing she’s in good overall health. She’s a wonderful reminder that senior dogs still have so much love, joy, and companionship to offer.
 
This special girl is looking for a home that values unhurried walks, warm sunbeams, and cozy movie nights. If you believe that the best relationships are built on quiet moments and unconditional love, Kia may be the perfect companion to share your days.
 
Adopting a senior is an act of love and Kia will return it tenfold.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our process begins with an online pre adoption questionnaire followed by a telephone interview
Once both have been completed we consider suitability and if we feel the adoption candidate is a potential match we arrange a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in
From there we schedule a home visit and check personal and veterinary references.

Go meet their pets

All our dogs are in foster homes so meet and greets are by appointment only

Foster Homes
Sadly, each new day brings a flood of emails and telephone pleas to help yet another abandoned dear dog. We try and help these displaced dogs through our rescue efforts and networking. We are always in search of new foster homes where a dog can be cared for and loved until a permanent home is found. Speaking of Dogs Rescue covers food, medical attention and all the supplies required for the dogs in foster care. Foster parents need be responsible and patient people who will provide a safe environment for our dogs. A foster contract must be signed. This is a serious responsibility; however the experience is very rewarding. If you can open your heart and home to a foster dog please contact us. We have a comprehensive Foster Manual available for people who are considering becoming a foster parent.
