About Kira

Kira and her momma, Dottie, along with her six siblings, were rescued from a drainage ditch in Texas when they were just a few weeks old. Thankfully, a kind woman fed them until a rescue could step in to care for this family. They were nurtured back to health and, once strong enough, made their way to Boulder, CO to find forever homes. Kira is a delightful baby girl, full of sweetness and playful energy. She has been well socialized, spayed, and her vaccinations are up to date. While we can't say for certain how big she will get, momma weighs about 12 lbs and we estimate the pups will reach around 20-30 lbs when fully grown. Kira does well with children and gets along beautifully with both dogs and cats. If you think Kira might be the perfect fit for your family, complete the adoption application today. She is ready to bring love into your home!
