About Kalua

Kalua has a gentle soul and a mellow presence. She tends to be shy at first, but with patience and a familiar face by her side—namely her brave little brother Oreo—she truly settles in. Kalua is the sensitive one of this bonded pair, relying on Oreo’s playful confidence for encouragement as she learns to trust. Once she opens up, Kalua quickly wins hearts with her quiet affection and love for peaceful moments with those she trusts most. Kalua and Oreo are closely bonded, so they must be adopted together. Kalua does best in a calm home with children age 10 or older, given her need for a little extra understanding around sharing treats. If you already have a dog at home, a meet-and-greet at the shelter will be required since the pair can be selective with new canine friends. If you’re searching for a well-matched duo that brings both calm and playful energy, Kalua and Oreo may be your answer. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
