My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Kira's journey has been one of resilience and hope. At just 2 years old, she has faced challenges that have left her cautious and slow to trust. Having come from an unstable and unkind environment, Kira finds it difficult to open up to new people, making her feel shut down here at the shelter. But behind her reserved demeanor is a heart full of love waiting to be unlocked.

Kira tends to bond deeply with her person, especially women, and would thrive in a quiet home where she can feel safe and secure. Once she trusts you, Kira transforms into a delightful snuggle bug who is eager to play and show her affectionate side. She has a joyful spirit and loves to let loose with those happy zoomies in a big backyard or on a large property where she can run freely and explore.

House trained and walking well on a leash, Kira is a model companion in the home. She enjoys the company of other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats. Her loyal nature means she'll follow you everywhere-even into the shower-demonstrating just how much she wants to be close to her loved ones.

Kira's ideal home is one where she can continue to build her confidence and trust in a calm and loving environment. If you have the patience to give her the time she needs and a peaceful space where she can truly feel at home, Kira will reward you with unwavering loyalty and a deep bond that will grow stronger each day.

Come meet Kira and see if you can be the special person she's been waiting for. With your love and understanding, Kira can find the stability and kindness she deserves and bring joy and companionship to your life.
