Story
OTHER PETS: Kira was interested in meeting other dogs, but most were a bit too excited for her. She's unsure around dogs, so would likely do best with a relaxed, confident dog that can understand when she wants her own space. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Kira is a young dog that's still figuring out just how big the world is. As she ages, she'll do best with someone that can be dedicated to helping her build her confidence and supporting her as she continues to learn via positive reinforcement. [First Dog]KIDS: While Kira has been tolerant for handling--though she pulls away from having her teeth looked at--she is sensitive to loud noises and would likely do best in a quieter home without a lot of foot traffic. She would likely do well with older kids or kids that are able to understand how to respectfully interact with her and when to let her have her own space. [13+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Kira hasn't had a high level of energy while at TJO, but as she settles into a home environment this could always change. That doesn't mean she doesn't know how to play, though, and she'll chase after a ball or squeaky or other toy as long as there's people around to interact with! She's a sweet little lap dog who's highly people-oriented and will do well with a combination of mental enrichment and regular exercise. [Couch Potato / Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Kira is still at the beginning of her positive training journey, and will do best learning with someone who can offer patience while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement training will help Kira not only learn new skills and fun tricks, but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner as well. [Minimal]GROOMING: Due to her fur type, Kira will likely need routine appointments with a professional groomer every 6-8 weeks to ensure that she does not become matted. Consistently brushing her in between appointments will also help to keep her clean and comfortable. [Professional Grooming]January 21, 2026, 12:08 pm
