Kayah would like to be your side kick!   Foster Home Feedback  6/30/25 Foster Feedback: Kayah had a great time at the Meet the Dogs event at Natural Pet Center! She met so many new friends and was very interested in the excitement in the building.  After she was done, a nice long nap was in order. Kayah is patiently waiting for her forever family to come meet her! 6/28/25 Foster Feedback: Kayah is working hard on potty training and coming along SO well! She is just the smartest and has already mastered sit, down, wait and high five. Whoever lands this girl is set up for so much fun. She's a hit at the ballpark every time we go, and knows to greet people calmly and patiently. Kayah is just a little gem. 6/20/25 Foster Home Feedback : Kayah is a 14- week old mixed-breed pup with the heart of an adventurer and the soul of a snuggler. She’s the perfect mix of playful energy and sweet affection—and she’s looking for a forever home that will love her for exactly who she is! Kayah loves people and is always ready for fun, whether it’s zoomies in the yard, puzzle toys on a rainy day, or learning new tricks (she’s smart and very food motivated!). She’s the kind of dog who will make you laugh daily and curl up beside you when the day is done. Kayah is currently living in a foster home with dogs and cats. She does well with confident, tolerant dogs who can handle her puppy enthusiasm, but can sometimes be too much for older or sensitive dogs. With cats, she’s respectful and redirectable—she wants to chase, but listens well when told otherwise. She’s still a young dog and working on her manners (she’s doing great with training!), so she’ll thrive in a home that enjoys continuing positive reinforcement training. She’d do best with an active family or individual who can give her both mental and physical outlets for her energy. Kayah is crate trained, sleeps through the night, and is making great progress with her leash skills and potty training. She’s a bright, silly, loving girl who’s ready to bond deeply with her people. If you're looking for a fun-loving companion with a lot of heart and tons of potential, Kayah might just be your perfect match! Interested in meeting Kayah? Fill out an adoption application today and come see if she’s the missing piece of your family  To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org June 30, 2025, 7:06 pm
