Meet the enchanting Kiva! 🤍 This beautiful girl has a gentle, thoughtful spirit that's just waiting to shine. At 2 years old and 35 lbs, her journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Earlier this year, Kiva was navigating the wilds of rural Idaho, bravely raising her four puppies. Now, she’s nestled in a loving foster home where she’s slowly learning what it means to be cherished and safe. 🌟 But oh, let’s talk about patience and compassion—two incredible qualities that Kiva absolutely needs in a forever home. She’s building trust with humans one kind gesture at a time, understanding that love doesn’t have to be rushed. While she’s not currently seeking out pets or physical affection, she's not reactive either—just a bit cautious. Her foster family is teaching her that gentle touches can be positive, and although she may not become the most traditional cuddle bug, she adores sharing space. Just imagine her lounging gracefully beside you on the couch or bed, a calm and comforting presence! 🛋️💖 What Kiva might lack in confidence, she more than compensates for with her stellar intelligence! She’s fully potty-trained and flourishes when given clear opportunities to succeed. When it comes to other dogs, her playful spirit shines! She loves to initiate play with sweet kisses and pick up on those all-important social cues from her furry friends. Kiva is a respectful and submissive lady, even thriving around smaller dogs. Just a little note—she hasn't been tested with cats but was quite intrigued by chickens! 🐥 Kiva walks beautifully on a leash, takes treats with the utmost gentleness, and is learning the ways of kennel training. At bedtime, she settles in nicely, especially when kenneled near other dogs. She does experience a bit of anxiety when left alone, but fear not! Having other dogs around has made a world of difference for her. Kiva would truly flourish in a calm, dog-savvy home with at least one confident canine companion. And let’s be honest—watching her discover safety and kindness is such a rewarding experience. The connection that blossoms as trust grows is genuinely special. 💞 The lucky person who earns her trust will find a loyal companion for life.
