Kita is an amazing cuddle buddy, still waiting for her forever home. She got to Border Paws in October 2023 with her brother Kingsley. Both were inseparable for a long time, however, after multiple months in the stressful shelter environment, Kingsley and Kita had to be separated. While he found his home very quickly, she is still enjoying the company of the shelter staff, however, we can guarantee that she would prefer a nice, loving home far more than the shelter.
She is a very friendly dog, good with any kids. Kita is selective with other dogs, but has made and is making more and more canine friends within the shelter since Kingsley left. She will need a meet and greet with her potential brother or sister. She will not be good with cats, as she has a strong prey drive for such.
She loves going on walks, having belly rubs, chewing on toys, and enjoying all the love she can get. She has mastered most Standard commands, like sit, place, stay, etc. We recommend taking her to obedience classes, as this will help her socialize and show her potential adopters that she wants to learn and please. She has already learned many commands like sit, stay, place, down, etc.
She does have Allergies to chicken and grains.

Over 1,100 animals pass through our doors every year. Did you know that the average cost to get our animals ready to be adoptable is roughly $350 per animal? That is because we require our adoptables to be spayed/neutered and fully vaccinated before adopting out.
Population control and disease management are issues in our community that we are working hard to resolve. Your donations help ensure we can continue our mission.
We have an amazing team of hard working staff caring for our animals 7 days a week. They are supported by a group of engaged board members that are focused on bettering our organization.
