Age/Birthdate: 10/14/2022 • Current Weight: 53lbs • Breed Guess: Pittie mix • Fully Vetted: Yes • Adoption fee: $0 Any Medical or Special needs: None! Temperament with: Dogs: Lives with a few but needs VERY slow introductions Cats: Unknown Children list specific ages: Probably older kiddos as she likes to jump Strangers: Has never met a stranger and is very outgoing! Training Needs: Crate Trained: Yes and absolutely LOVES her crate! Potty Trained: Yes Kia is a low rider pittie (coming just up to knee height) who is ready to find her forever home! Kia spent 4 weeks in a board and train learning to trust other dogs and is now looking for her forever home! A generous donor has offered to provide a few training sessions for an adoptive family to continue to work with Kia to help transition her successfully into her new home! Kia knows sit, stay, place and a few other tricks! While in the board and train, she learned to completely ignore other dogs who are around her doing things such as eating food, playing with toys, running around her etc and she has done absolutely amazing! She also learned how to walk VERY well on the leash and is overall just SUCH a great and well rounded girl! If you're looking for a newly well trained pittie baby, Kia is your gal! Please note, she is a stubborn girl (she is EXTREMELY smart but stubborn lol) so she still needs someone who is willing to be the "boss" while training. While in the home environment, Kia is incredibly sweet and affectionate! She LOVES belly rubs and happily rolls over for affection once she feels comfortable! She’s a low-energy girl, and one walk a day easily meets her needs. Like many pitties, she can get excitable and may jump during happy moments (which she worked on heavily during the board and train and is hardly doing it anymore), but she settles down quite quickly and enjoys relaxing the rest of the time! Kia truly excels at downtime. She spends most of her day napping in a cozy bed or curled up in her crate, which is her safe space and her favorite place to be. She eagerly runs to her crate every chance she gets and is perfectly content snoozing the day away. Because of this, Kia is an excellent match for someone with long work hours, as she’s happy to relax and rest in her crate while you’re away. She enjoys car rides and will gladly hop in and out of the truck. Around the house, Kia is easygoing and trustworthy—she is not destructive, does not counter surf, and can be left out. Kia is good with other dogs but is more of a peacefully coexist type gal than one who likes to play! She would be happy in a home with an elderly furbaby who will happily/peacefully coexehist with her but she also has no problem being your one and only! She’s generally on the quiet side and does well during bath time! Kia offers quiet companionship, deep loyalty, and endless belly-rub moments. If you’re looking for a mellow companion who just wants a safe place to rest and be loved, Kia may be the perfect fit!
