About Kaya

Kaya is a charming Chihuahua/Terrier mix who is just beginning to come out of her shell. At about 1.5 years old and approximately 12 pounds, she thrives around other dogs and enjoys cozying up on the couch, though she prefers not to be picked up. Kaya is currently working on her outdoor training, as she is paper trained and needs to develop her skills further. She gets a kick out of giving high fives, a sweet little trick to ask her about. While Kaya was treated for heartworm and will require monthly medication, she's ready to find a loving home. Homeward Bound Dog Rescue operates through foster homes, and Kaya's story has been shaped by those who cared for her. If she sounds like the right fit for you, consider bringing her into your home! They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
