About Kira
Kira is a bouncy, outgoing Shepherd with energy to spare and a huge heart for adventure. Wherever the action is—walks, hikes, fetch, or even paddle boarding—she’s thrilled to tag along and keep you company. Volunteers adore her, and you’ll see why; Kira rides calmly in the car, walks right beside you on leash, and listens well to basic commands like sit, down, stay, and touch. She’s smart, food-motivated, and always eager to learn a new skill, making training as fun for her as playtime. Kira’s energy calls for an adopter who can match her zest with daily exercise and games. She would fetch a ball all day—just be ready with a backup so the game never stops. Despite her playful streak, she’ll surprise you with her affectionate side, often pausing mid-walk for a belly rub or cuddle. She bonds closely with her people, thriving on attention and connection. Having spent years in boarding after arriving at the rescue sick and urgent, Kira is sensitive to stimulation and needs a calm, understanding handler willing to give her space and breaks when life gets hectic. She can be overstimulated by things like motorcycles or joggers, occasionally pulling or spinning with excitement, but she rebounds well when given time to decompress. Kira does well with other dogs who share her bold, rough-and-tumble play style, but may not be the right fit for every canine. With people, she prefers low-pressure introductions so she can warm up at her own pace. For these reasons and her lively nature, Kira is best suited for an adult home or one with older, considerate kids. Kira is house trained, spayed, and ready for her next adventure in San Diego, CA.
