About Kita

Meet Kita, a delightful senior dog looking for her forever home. Having come to our care after her previous owners could no longer support her, she has quickly warmed up to our staff and enjoys spending time exploring. Kita has lived with kids of all ages, so with proper introductions, she could fit well into a family setting. Kita is a special girl, classified as a special care adoption due to her history of mammary tumors, dental issues, and limited hearing — she may be deaf. Because of her hearing challenges, she would thrive in a home with more supervision to ensure her safety. Adopting a senior dog like Kita offers a unique opportunity to provide a loving environment where she can relax and enjoy her golden years. If you’re interested in giving Kita the care she needs, please visit our adoption center in downtown Chicago. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
