Story
Kaia Hello, My name is Kaia. I'm approximately 2 years old, (not sure because I was dumped with my sister in the woods!) We were saved by some wonderful people and with the help from "For Pete Sake" we both found a home. The reason I'm writing is, my current parents are moving to a home that can't have pets, (both in their late 60's.) I'm mountain cur and coon hound. I weigh about 50 lbs. medium size. I love to run and I'm fast! I would like a family with maybe a small dog and a yard to play. I love to be hugged and loved and will do the same for you!(I 'm Quite cute as well!) I like cookies(blue buffalo are my favorites!) Please be serious because I've been through a lot and need to feel safe and loved. I'm in good health and have all my shots. I come with cookies, food, bed, crate (yes I'm cate trained) and toys! I'm not free (because I'm special), Please be serious, this is really important to me! I'm currently living in Greeneville but maybe staying in Jonesborough for a little while. Contact me at 520-551-2315(Susan) or email me at smg1181@yahoo.com. Thank you! Also call Teresa with the rescue if you would like to talk about Kia. 2767910475
