Story
Sweet Kimmee This beautiful small/medium girl is very affectionate and loves being with her humans. When she’s feeling especially snuggly, Kimmee will even climb onto her humans’ laps! While very loving, Kimmee is confident enough to spend periods of time on her own. Kimmee enjoys meeting new people and greets nearly everyone with a waggy tail and an up-turned, happy face. Kimmee gets along very well with the resident greyhound in her foster home. On walks, she’s happy to meet other walking dogs but largely ignores fenced dogs, even when they bark. Kimmee has shown a passing interest in squirrels, but doesn’t give chase. She is considered to be cat safe and in fact may fear them. When Kimmee meets children on her walks (in the age range of 7-10 years) she is curious, but calm. Kimmee is an active pup. Two or three times a day she gets a case of the zoomies and races around her yard at lightening speed. Inside the house, she sometimes does this on a small scale, twirling in tight circles like a blender with fur. Sometimes Kimmee goes on “search and destroy” missions, in which every inanimate object is a potential target. Books, cell phones, and shoes beware! Kimmee also enjoys moderately paced walks and is getting really good on a leash. Periods of calm and quiet are part of Kimmee’s days. She is a good napper during the day and sleeps through the night. Kimmee is smart and likes to learn new things. She mastered carpeted stairs in no time. She knows that “potty” is outside. She is making progress toward learning basic commands, such as down and sit, and she is beginning to understand that countertops are off limits. More and more frequently she comes when called by her name. The biggest challenge for Kimmee is learning not to chew on inappropriate objects. (She can almost literally grab the rug out from under you!) Fortunately, Kimmee responds well to both treats and praise in the training process. Pictures don’t adequately capture Kimmee’s physical beauty. She has big brown eyes seemingly enhanced with eyeliner. Her peaches and cream fur is sleek, soft and shiny. She is so striking that passersby stop to comment and ask about her breed and characteristics. In response to the compliments she just wags and makes her happy face. She’s a confident dog, but not a diva! Kimmee would likely live happily as an only dog if she’s in a home where her humans are usually around. She would also do well with good-natured canine companion. She is an extrovert and enjoys being with others, both human and canine. If you’re looking for an affectionate, active, smart, confident, and beautiful dog, perhaps Kimmee is the one for you. We adopt within 3 hours of Kansas City.April 28, 2024, 7:34 pm
