Kala is just starting to understand life off the chain. She spent her early years tethered outside under the Texas sun, mostly ignored by people, so she’s still figuring out that humans can be kind. Kala is about a year old now, spayed, and up to date on her vaccines. She adores all animals—her trust comes out around other dogs, especially lively, playful ones, and she would thrive in a home with an energetic pack. With people, Kala tends to keep her distance and is quick to flee rather than lash out, showing no aggression at all. She’s making progress with leash walking, is house trained, rides well in the car, and does fine in a crate as long as her canine buddies are nearby. First impressions at a meet-and-greet won’t do her justice; Kala will need time, space, and patient adopters who understand that shy dogs can blossom, just at their own pace.
