About Kaci

Today, she’s fully recovered and moves with an irrepressible spirit. Now two years old, Kaci shows off the best qualities of both mellow and playful. She’s got a calm side, enjoying porch naps and quiet cuddles, but she’s also always ready for a walk or a little adventure. Kaci bonds tightly with her people, happiest curled up close, yet she’s social and easygoing with other dogs. Cats are met with affection, though the cats in her foster home are still making up their minds about her. She is house-trained, crate-trained, spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. Kaci fought hard for her second chance—she’s ready for a home to match her heart. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
