About Kaya

Meet Kaya, a beautiful black Lab/Boxer mix looking for her forever home. This sweet girl is still adjusting to shelter life and may take some time to warm up to new people. The key to winning her heart is simple: sit quietly, give her space, and let her approach you. Treats work wonders too! Once Kaya feels comfortable, her playful personality really shines through. She enjoys rolling around in long grass and gets along well with other dogs. Kaya exhibits a polite demeanor and isn’t a jumper, making her an ideal companion for anyone seeking a calmer, respectful pup. Given that the shelter environment can be overwhelming for her, she would thrive best in a quieter home where she can relax, build confidence, and blossom at her own pace. With a little patience and tasty treats, you could discover a wonderful friend waiting to emerge. Kaya is not yet spayed, but she’s up to date on her vaccinations. What are you waiting for?
