Kira

My story

Hi, I’m Kira!I’m a super sweet, affectionate girl who loves cuddles, kisses, and being close to my people. My name comes from the way my whole body wiggles when I’m excited—kind of like the singer Shakira!I get along well with dogs, big and small. I live with a large, high-energy pup now and do great, though I can be a little submissive with bigger dogs, so supervision helps. I was found as a stray with a smaller male dog, so I’m comfortable with them too. I’m still learning about food manners around other dogs, so my foster family keeps us separate at mealtimes and with big bones, but I don’t guard against people at all—you can take my bowl or toy with no problem.I’m smart and eager to learn! I already know “sit,” am almost there with “down,” and I’m working on “stay” and “off.” I walk well on leash and love practicing commands with my foster sibling. I can get a little jumpy when I’m excited, but I’m learning better ways to ask for attention.I love my crate—it’s my cozy spot, and I even nap in it during the day by choice. At night, I sleep peacefully in my crate. I’m also housetrained, not very vocal (just the occasional bark at another dog through the window), and I ride well in the car.When left alone, I sometimes get a little stressed and may chew up toys with stuffing, but my foster family helps by giving me tougher bones and non-fluffy toys, which keeps me busy and calm. The good news is—I’ve never chewed on shoes or household items, just toys!I’m looking for a family who will love my wiggly excitement, snuggly nature, and eagerness to learn. I’d be happiest in a home where I can be part of the action and share lots of love. If you’re looking for a gentle, sweet, and fun companion—I think we’ll be perfect together!Adoption fee: $50Kira is part of our Home to Home Program.
