About Kiya

Kiya is a petite German Shepherd with plenty of puppy energy left in her. She loves to play and brings a light-hearted, sweet nature into the house. She’s housebroken and adapts easily to family life. Before arriving at rescue, Kiya was found alone, underweight, and in rough shape, but she has bounced back with care and attention. Now spayed, microchipped, and up to date on shots, she's thriving in a foster home with several other dogs. Kiya gets along well with both dogs and cats, but like with any animal, careful introductions are important when meeting new friends. Although she's smaller for her breed, she still needs a yard with a 6-foot privacy fence for her safety. Her playful and affectionate demeanor makes her a great choice for a family ready to offer a stable, loving home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
