If you’re looking for a giant personality in a slightly smaller Great Dane package, meet Kiva! This one-year-old sweetheart is here to prove that the best things really do come in long-legged, clumsy-cute bundles.
The Professional Lap Dog
Kiva is fairly certain she’s lap-sized. Her favorite pastime is climbing right into your lap to deliver an enthusiastic, up-close “kiss storm.” She’s a world-class snuggler who leans in with her whole heart (and body) just to be close to her people.
Curiosity & “The Great Escape”
Kiva is an explorer at heart, with curiosity as big as her ears. She’s been known to test a fence or two in the name of adventure and is currently enrolled in Belonging 101, learning that staying home is actually pretty great. She’ll need a securely fenced yard (tall and sturdy!) and humans committed to keeping her safely contained.
Social Life & Skills
Dog-Friendly: Kiva is a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would love a canine buddy to romp with.
Feather-Free Zone: She has a strong prey drive and believes birds and small critters are for chasing, not coexisting. A home without cats or birds is best.
Smart & Food-Motivated: Kiva knows her basic commands and is eager to learn—especially when treats are involved. She walks nicely on leash and is ready to be your go-to walking partner.
Toy Destroyer: Stuffed toys beware! Kiva considers de-stuffing a competitive sport and prefers durable toys that can keep up with her enthusiasm.
Kiva’s Perfect Match
Kiva is looking for a family that appreciates the gentle-giant spirit, has a sense of humor, plenty of sturdy toys, and an empty lap ready to be filled. If you’re ready for lean-in hugs, goofy Dane smiles, and a whole lot of love, Kiva is ready to belong to you.
