Story
We are a matched based adoption agency, if you see a dog in our program in which you are interested in adopting, please fill out our online application at kcpaws.org and one of our adoptions counselors will be in touch once your application has been screened. Please note that we do require dogs to meet all members of the family including existing pets in the home before finalizing during your in home adoption. Aliyah is about 6 years old, spayed, up to date on all vetting, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is Sponsored! Aliyah came to us from a neglect case and has been with a foster to help her come out of her shell. She is used to living with other dogs around her size or smaller. She can be timid meeting new dogs but as long as the dog is friendly and gives her time to adjust she does very well. Aliyah is a very fearful dog when in new situations and meeting new people and can be especially fearful of men. Once she trusts someone she does become very attached but she will need a lot of TLC and patience to trust another new person in a new environment. She can be reactive in moments of fear, or protective of her person with strangers. Her thundershirt makes her more brave and once her leash is on, she understands that it's time to go and she gets a bit more confident and relaxed. Aliyah absolutely LOVES walks, stuffed toys, treats, and is affectionate once you've gained her trust. She will need continued training through her trust issues with a confident and patient owner who has experience working with dogs who may have experienced trauma. She is not an appropriate fit for a home with children. The right person will undoubtedly bring out her affectionate and joyful side, it will just take time, patience, and consistent work to get her there.

Story
Hi, Im Polly!<br/>Im a 6-month-old Shiba Inu looking for a special family to call my own. My start in life wasnt exactly what every puppy dreams of. I came from a bit of a ruff situation where I spent most of my time living in a small kennel, so there are still lots of things about the world that Im learning for the very first time.<br/>Because of my past, Im looking for a calm and patient home where I can learn at my own pace. Everything is still pretty new to me, and I would love adopters who can show me kindness, consistency, and understanding as I figure out how to be a real dog. With time, guidance, and plenty of positive experiences, Im sure to blossom into a wonderful companion.<br/>Im still young, which means I have so much potential ahead of me. Every day brings new opportunities to build my confidence, learn good habits, and discover just how fun life can be. My ideal family will be committed to helping me grow and giving me the structure I need to succeed.<br/>To help me feel comfortable and set me up for success, Im looking for a home without small children. Kids in my new home should be at least 8 years old and able to understand that I may need a little extra patience as I adjust.<br/>If youre looking for a sweet young dog who is ready for a fresh start and willing to invest a little time and love into helping me shine, I would love to meet you. Come meet Miss Polly today and see if were the perfect match for each other!
