Weighing in at about 47 pounds and living in foster care in San Antonio, Texas (but adoptable out of state), Kai is ready to brighten up any home with her cheerful energy and loyal heart. She plays well with dogs of all shapes and sizes and loves greeting new friends, both human and canine. Kai’s favorite activities include zooming around the yard, tossing her toys, and indulging in a good, enthusiastic bark when she’s excited. After playtime, she’ll gladly settle down for a nap, some cuddles, or a session of belly rubs. Kai’s foster reports she’s house-trained, crate-trained, leash-trained, and has outstanding manners at home. While she might pull a little on the leash out of eagerness to meet other dogs, her intent is always friendly. She does great with children and is a confident traveler, handling stairs and car rides with no problem. While storms or loud noises might make her a bit anxious, she recovers with reassurance from her people. Kai’s ideal match is a family or adopter able to provide daily activity, canine playmates, and a generous dose of attention.
