Story
KIARA IS A COURTESY POST - IF INTERESTED, EMAIL INFO@PETEY&FURENDS.ORG Name: Kiara Sex: Female Estimated Age: About 6 years old Best Guess for Breed: Collie/German Shepherd Mix Weight: About 55 lbs Good With: Dogs and People! We haven’t seen her with cats yet, but happy to test her out! She would do best in a home as an only dog without small kids since she gets startled easily. Story: Kiara was rescued from the war in Ukraine and we are posting her on behalf of a community member. She knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with her humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Kiara is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Even though she’s an adult dog, Kiara will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! PERFECT FAMILY: Kiara’s perfect family is a quiet home with 1-2 adults. Although she is very sweet and gentle, she gets easily startled by unexpected movements and loud noises; as a result, we recommend she not go to a home with children. She craves love and attention and would be happiest as the only dog to soak up all the attention from her adopter(s). However, she does get along with other dogs in her foster home. She has not been cat-tested. PERFECT HOME: A quiet home away from the busy city. Kiara is vocal when anyone arrives, so she would not be a good fit for apartment living. She loves running around in her foster’s fenced-in backyard, but because she is not a high-energy dog, a yard is not required as long as she can have a daily walk. EXERCISE NEEDS: Kiara is a medium energy dog. She loves to play fetch and tug of war and run around in the yard. On walks, she moves at an easy, leisurely pace. She is great on the leash but can sometimes be leash-reactive when seeing another dog, but bringing a few treats with you during walks is usually enough to distract her. BEHAVIOR IN HOME: Kiara is very loving, gentle, and eager to please. She is incredibly smart and super treat-motivated, making her a dream student for training. She knows sit, down, stay, come, shake, drop it, and go to bed—and is eager to learn more. She loves, loves, love to be pet. She is happy to curl up by your feet wherever you are and often sleeps covering her eyes with her paw, which we find adorable. She is fully potty trained and has not chewed on anything other than her bones in her foster home. Having escaped the war in Ukraine, she is easily startled by loud noises or sudden movements but has made huge progress on this. She is a little uneasy around new people at first but warms up very quickly, especially if you give her a treat, and then will not leave your side. Her soulful eyes just melt your heart. She has been through so much and deserves a loving forever home. If you think that Kiara might be your perfect match, please email info@peteyandfurends.org. April 17, 2024, 12:04 pm
