About Kia

Kia is a solid, knee-high pittie mix with a short, blue-gray coat and a knack for making any crate look like home. At about 53 lbs, she's sturdy but low to the ground and draws smiles everywhere she goes. Kia’s outgoing personality puts strangers instantly at ease, and she’s built for downtime—napping in her crate, lounging in a soft bed, or hopping in the truck for a ride. Her training is rock solid after a month at board and train, including leash work and a handful of commands, plus she’s crate- and house-trained. She’s smart—sometimes stubborn—so she’ll do best with someone who’ll hold their ground and provide consistency. Kia gets along with other dogs in peaceful co-existence, but isn’t looking for playtime wrestles; she’d be content with an older, mellow canine housemate, or as your one-and-only. She’s not destructive, doesn’t surf counters, and waits quietly for whatever’s next. Kia is best suited for homes with older kids, since she can still get excited and jump—though that’s improved a lot. Her mellow energy means one walk is plenty, and she’ll thank you with loyal companionship and endless belly rolls. Adoption includes sponsored training sessions to help keep up her good habits. In short: friendly, low-key, affectionate, and easy to live with. If you want a soft, quiet presence with a heart of gold, Kia fits the bill. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
