Socialization: Kia is a sweet pup that is in our Rescue Ranch with her 3 sisters. She warms up quickly and is well socialized. Kia is playful and loves other dogs. She can guard her toys, but with time when she learns what is hers, I believe that will diminish. Cats and kids are unknown.
Training: We are just starting to work on some training with the girls at the ranch. All of the puppies are power chewers, and need kong or other strong toys. They enjoy chewing on ropes as well. House training, jumping and counter surfing are a work in progress, but their litter mates in homes have learned and caught on very quickly. Crating is needed for now for their own safety.
Activity requirements: These puppies are active, but mind games do help to wear them out. They would prefer a fenced yard, but daily long walks would also work well for them. Leash training is a work in progress and our staff at the ranch is working with them on leash walking.
Fence requirements: Some sort of running should be available to the puppies daily. Physical fences are preferred, but they can likely be trained to an invisible fence as well.
Personality: Kia is sweet and affectionate puppy! She enjoys play with other dogs, but can also be content chewing on a bone by herself.
Health history: Kia is a healthy puppy, she is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and on monthly heartworm prevention. Her next leish test will be due in November 2026.
This dog originates from Greece where Leishmaniasis is endemic. They tested negative before coming to the USA, but the parasite can remain dormant in the system for many years, so potential adopters must be willing to commit to annual testing for the next 7 years. Typically, the test needs to be sent to a special lab, but any regular vet can draw the blood and send it to the lab. The cost of the test seems to vary widely by area, but is approximately $150-$250. or if your vet is willing to send the test to a veterinary college lab, cost can be as low as $80.
Foster comments: Kia is such a cute and sweet tri-color pointer puppy! She loves to play and snuggle up in the evening. She enjoys running and chewing on bones and Kongs. She's a very happy puppy and we're excited for her to find her happily ever after!
Foster location: Kalamazoo, MI
