Oh, darling, meet Kita! 🥰 This 8-year-old sweetheart is on the lookout for her forever home, and let me tell you, she is a treasure! Just picture this: Kita hails from a commercial breeding facility where she spent her days helping to make puppies, but now? That chapter is behind her, and she’s ready to embrace a life filled with love and joy! Here she is, a healthy girl, spayed and up-to-date on her vaccinations, weighing in at a petite 25 lbs! Can you believe that? Now, here's the twist: Kita is just discovering the wonders of living in a loving home for the very first time! Her foster mom in Bondurant, IA, can hardly contain her pride as she watches Kita blossom. 🌸 Sure, Kita may be a bit shy and cautious around new people, but every little victory—like sneaking in for a gentle pet or giving a sweet kiss—is a leap towards trust! And oh, when she's feeling particularly brave, you might catch her hopping up on the couch! 🛋️ Just the sweetest! What really makes Kita's heart sing? Being outside! 🌞 Whether she’s chasing her furry friends in the fenced yard or pretending to be a wild Shiba, she’s living her best life! But don’t get too wild; she’ll let you know she’s in a playful mood with her best howls! Kita dreams of a calm, quiet home where she can continue adjusting to her new reality. She'd love a couple of cozy spots to curl up, a kind human to shower her with affection, and yes, possibly a hotdog here and there—because who doesn’t love a tasty treat? 🍖 Just a gentle reminder though, she needs a family who can handle her shyness. Loud noises might startle her, so careful movements are a must! Imagine having a securely fenced yard where Kita can frolic and play to her heart's content! She’s already showing some interest in leash walks but needs a little more practice. She's good with other dogs and pretty much ignores the cats in her foster home, so they’re all welcome! 🐱 Now, for all you lovely people living in the Midwest who want to add a spark of joy to your lives, Kita is waiting for you! Apply through the Buddy App to start the process. This fluffy little lady needs a patient, loving family to help her live her very best life! 🌈 Don't wait; she could be the missing piece to your heart and home!
