Crate trained: Yes (used primarily for air travel)
When alone: Kiara currently lives in an open shelter setting and naturally seeks out her own quiet space when she wants to rest or decompress. When transitioning into a home, it’s recommended she not be left alone for more than 4–6 hours at first to help her feel safe and secure.
Sleeping arrangements: She sleeps in a designated area alongside other dogs where she feels comfortable and at ease. While she is not currently in a home environment, she is expected to adjust quickly.
Temperament
Kiara truly stands out for her gentle, calm, and mature demeanor. She’s the kind of dog who quietly captures your heart the moment you meet her. Affectionate and easy to be around, Kiara bonds quickly and genuinely enjoys companionship and cuddles. At the same time, she has a lovely independent side and is perfectly content finding a sunny spot to relax on her own. This beautiful balance makes her an ideal family dog or a wonderful companion for someone seeking a loyal, loving presence.
Ideal Home
Kiara will thrive with a family or a dedicated individual who values gentle companionship and regular daily activities. She’s looking for a calm, loving environment where she can continue to feel safe, secure, and cherished while sharing her affection freely.
Rescue Story
Kiara was surrendered by her family to a local rescue partner known for caring for multiple dogs. When her family decided they no longer wanted her, Kiara’s future became uncertain. Without hesitation, her rescuer stepped in to protect her so she would never experience neglect.
As if she understood she was finally safe, Kiara adjusted beautifully over more than a year to her new life as part of a pack. Though resources were sometimes limited, she always had stability, balance, and care.
Now, it’s Kiara’s turn to move forward and find her forever home—a place where she will be chosen every day, deeply loved, and cherished for the rest of her life.
