About Kiya

This could be the start of something paw-some. Get ready to meet your perfect adventure companion! This sweet girl is looking for her forever home and would love to join a family that appreciates both affection and outdoor fun. She’s well-mannered and has thrived living full time on the road since joining her current family at only five months old, making her adaptable and easygoing wherever her journey leads. Why she’s special: she’s loving, social, and gets along wonderfully with kids and other dogs, showing warmth to both family and strangers alike. She’s fully house-trained, reliably respects boundaries (trained with a wireless fence), and has never tried to run off. If you love travel or hiking, she’s a seasoned “camp dog” ready for adventure. Her calm attitude extends to wildlife, as she prefers to announce any critters rather than chase them, keeping your outdoor moments peaceful. She also settles well at home and quickly adapts to her new routines. A few things to keep in mind: she can be vocal, especially when alerting you to nearby critters. She tends to bark at cats, so a feline-free home or a family willing to invest in introductions and training would be best. Her journey began with owners who could not keep her due to a move, but she’s blossomed into a cherished, loyal companion. Now she’s ready to start a new chapter in a loving home with someone who values both companionship and the great outdoors. If you’re searching for a loyal, friendly, and adventure-ready dog, she might be the perfect fit for you. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
