Kaya

My story

Kaya came into our lives from the wide-open landscapes of Colorado, with the spirit of the land in her bones. A two-year-old Australian cattle dog (red heeler), she is energetic, intelligent, and driven—built to move, work, and thrive with purpose. Kaya is also deaf, but it doesn’t hold her back. She is highly attentive, visually aware, and deeply connected to her people. She belongs to our daughter, who is currently in an extended treatment program. While we care for Kaya in the city alongside two other dogs, it’s clear this isn’t the life she was meant for. Her energy and instincts need space to run free. Kaya would flourish on a farm or ranch, where she can work, explore, and be fully herself. We’re not just looking for a home—we’re looking for the right place where she can truly thrive.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Kaya, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
