Her next leish test will be due in November 2026.<br/><br/>This dog originates from Greece where Leishmaniasis is endemic. They tested negative before coming to the USA, but the parasite can remain dormant in the system for many years, so potential adopters must be willing to commit to annual testing for the next 7 years. Typically, the test needs to be sent to a special lab, but any regular vet can draw the blood and send it to the lab. The cost of the test seems to vary widely by area, but is approximately $150-$250. or if your vet is willing to send the test to a veterinary college lab, cost can be as low as $80.<br/><br/>Foster comments: Kia is such a cute and sweet tri-color pointer puppy! She loves to play and snuggle up in the evening. She enjoys running and chewing on bones and Kongs. She's a very happy puppy and we're excited for her to find her happily ever after!<br/><br/>Foster location: Kalamazoo, MI<br/><br/>Guardian Angels: The typical adoption fee for our dogs is $490, however, Kia has had $100 of her adoption fee covered by her Guardian Angel in memory of Peach and another Guardian Angel has donated an additional $240 of her adoption fee! As a result, her adoption fee is $150.

If the adopter is more than 1,000 miles from the foster home, adoption would only be possible if the adopter is willing to drive the distance beyond the 1,000-mile transport limit. Long distance adoptions may also be possible if the adopter is willing to pay for a flight for getting their dog from the foster home to their location if the foster feels this is an appropriate arrangement for the specific dog. Canadian adopters would have to drive into the USA to pick up their dog, as we do not transport outside of the USA.
