Story
Meet Kira, a 2-year-old spayed female Welsh Corgi mix with a beautiful brown and white coat, weighing in at 7.2 kg. She was rescued alongside her sibling Kitty, and while Kitty found her forever home in Toronto last October, Kira had a bit of a detour. She was placed in a foster home in Korea under the assumption she’d be adopted locally, but things didn’t work out, so now she’s looking for her forever family overseas.
Kira can be a little shy at first, but win her over with some treats and she’ll be your new best friend in no time. Once she’s comfortable, she’s the ultimate sweetheart—she’ll follow her favorite person around, roll over to show her belly, and gently ask for pets. In familiar, cozy environments, Kira isn’t afraid to walk right up to new people and say hello. But in unfamiliar or overwhelming spaces, she sometimes retreats under chairs and prefers to watch the world go by from a safe little hideaway. Some days she’s full of confidence, and other days she might need a little more time to warm up—she’s looking for a family with patience and love to help her continue to blossom.
When it comes to other dogs, Kira is polite and curious. She’ll go up to greet new doggy friends, but she’s not much of a playmate—she prefers to keep things calm. If another dog is too forward, she might give a little growl to set a boundary. She tends to do best with dogs her own size and finds high-energy pups a bit overwhelming. In social settings, she prefers quiet spaces with a few dogs over crowded, busy environments.
Kira hasn't lived with cats before, but she can be tested if needed. Her energy level is generally low—she loves relaxing and taking it easy indoors, but she does perk up and get more playful outside. She walks nicely on leash without pulling and tends to stick close to her person. However, when she encounters something scary, she may freeze and flatten herself to the ground.
She does have a few quirks: nail trims are a no-go (she’ll definitely protest!), she gets carsick easily and is frightened of car rides, and she can be overwhelmed in crowded areas and may try to hide. Her temperament can shift between days where she’s braver and days where she’s more timid, so she needs a family that’s okay with that gentle back-and-forth. Kira does *not* have separation anxiety—in fact, she enjoys some solo playtime when no one’s around! She needs to be carried into the car due to her fear, prefers doing her business outside, and is impressively quiet—no barking here!
If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a gentle soul who just needs a bit of time to shine, Kira might be the perfect pup for you.
