My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
A22397 Kia is a tan with black colored, approximately 7-month-old, 47-pound, spayed female, German Shepherd / Pitbull mix.
She entered the shelter as an owner surrender on 09-30-2024 due to the fact they were moving and couldn't take her.
Kia is a friendly girl full of puppy energy. She is still trying to figure out why she is here and is anxious in the shelter environment. Our staff says she was really scared when she first got here and is getting better every day. She will need some training as she chews, jumps and is excited to be around people. She has a friendly interest in other dogs, with a tail wag and excited posture as the pass her kennel or in another play yard. She was easy to leash but is not leash trained and pulled in excitement the whole time. We would recommend no small children due to her excitement and lack of training. Kia will be a fun-loving family member in her new forever home.
