Kya is extremely loving. Outside of her reactivity, she really is a sweet pup. She is perfectly content to lay on the couch with you while read or watch TV. She loves playing tug and playing with squeaky toys. Her favorite activity is sniffing.
Kya is on medication for her anxiety and reactivity, and needs to maintain that, nevertheless, we are looking for a calm, consistent environment for her. Low to no traffic in the home, no kids, no other pets. She is very reactive to other dogs - so maybe a nice fenced yard to play in - or a walking area with no other dog walkers or kids. She does bite when she feels threatened. Not uncommon for small dogs but we want a home that limits her feeling threatened. We are looking for someone who has experience with little reactive dogs.
She is seeing a vet behaviorist and it helps her greatly. Combined with a more calm environment, she should thrive. Her owner will discuss all of that and give you the vet's contact. Ideally this training would be continued.
Kya is crate trained and loves her crate. She is housetrained and has only had one accident when she was ill. She knows several commands, Sit, Come, Leave it. She resource guards but can be redirected with a treat and the command Leave it.
Age: 3 years Weight: 25 lbs Temperament: Best with a calm adult, no pets, no kids Vetting: Spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative Training: House trained, crate trained, knows several commands.

To ensure we're meeting both pet and adopters' needs, we ask potential adopters to complete an Adoption Application (www.bit.ly/DH-Adoption) for caretakers to review. Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit. We are 100% donation-funded and our fees are equivalent to (or less than) the cost to fully vet a new dog yourself .
