Kia is a very unique girl!  She is young, healthy, beautiful, intelligent, and versatile. She would be a wonderful asset in so many different types of homes. She is great with kids, cats, small and large dogs, elderly visitors like grandparents, and just about anything in between. She has learned these skills in her foster home, which is made up of two adults, three kids, two extra large dogs (100+ lbs.) a small dog, and a cat. Kia is ready to go, and up for anything. She is really special!

Kia is a tripod. Her left rear leg was amputated when she was about 3 months old. Now, you may automatically think, "Oh, poor little girl." But please know that only people think that way. Dogs really don't. Kia is a happy young girl who does not see herself as limited in any way. She has had more time without her leg than she has had with it, and it is NOT an issue for her at all.

Kia enjoys going on walks with her foster family. She is happy playing with the kids and with other dogs. She loves to play fetch, and that's a great way for her to get exercise. In the summer, she loves to swim. When we talk about Kia, we don't focus on the missing leg, because Kia doesn't see herself as lacking in anything. The one difference is that Kia isn't going to ever be a jogging companion. She will happily go on walks with you, just not really long ones. Kia likes nothing better than to go for a walk or play fetch in the cool, crisp air, and then come inside and snuggle with her foster family. She is so loving and affectionate, and a great cuddler!

Kia has had challenges in her life, but she has faced them and conquered them. This has made Kia strong, and helped her grow in confidence and courage. She is smart, loyal, and totally protective, with a big, strong German Shepherd bark. Her foster family pronounces her name so that it rhymes with "sky." For this gorgeous, loving girl, the sky's the limit! Interested in adopting Kia? Please read our Adoption Policy here: http://www.ghgsdr.org/adopt/adoption-policy and fill out an application.
