Story
Meet Kesha! Kesha is a happy, playful puppy who is settling into foster life nicely. She’s a little more excitable than calm right now, which is pretty classic puppy energy, but she’s already showing that she can learn and adapt with guidance. She loves to eat, play, and generally be a very good girl.   Like any young pup, Kesha can have some destructive moments, but she responds well when redirected to appropriate toys or bones. She’s also learning how to relax — after about 10 minutes on her own, she’s able to settle down, which is a great skill for a puppy her age.   Kesha is thrilled when her people return and can’t help herself from jumping to say hello (we know… it’s cute), but she’s already working on better manners. She’s learning to settle on her own and is practicing sitting politely before going through doors or heading outside.   Kesha would thrive in a home ready to continue basic training, provide structure, and embrace all the fun (and work!) that comes with a puppy. With consistency, patience, and lots of love, she’s going to be an awesome companion.  Kesha was rescued from a high kill shelter in Texas. Meet and greets are by appointment only.  An approved application is required to schedule a meeting. Check out our events page for upcoming open adoption events! We have no additional back story or update for this dog at this time.  When we do, it will be updated here.  This is all the information we have currently. Approved Applicants may make the adoption fee payment by clicking donate above.  Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded. Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance.  We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect).  Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico.  While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.   More questions?  Read our FAQs here: https://4p4l.org/faqs/  Breed labels are a "best guess" by a shelter veterinarian and cannot be guaranteed.  ##2642524##
