About Kili

Kili is a sweet, relaxed Australian Kelpie who’s spent most of her life getting all the attention she could want. This ten-year-old thrives on head scratches and gentle walks—she’s happiest unwinding by your side. While she enjoys low-key strolls, she still knows her basics, responding to “leave it” and “come,” with a little extra persuasion needed for “sit” and “shake.” She’s lived around toddlers and gets along well with kids. Kili also does fine with other dogs, as long as introductions are calm and friendly. She’s spayed, up to date on shots, microchipped, and house trained. She carries the smart, loyal temperament typical of Australian Kelpies and still embraces her easygoing side over any herding instincts these days. Kili is ready for a peaceful home to enjoy her golden years. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
