Kia "Sissy" Chihuahua & Terrier Mix Lenoir, NC

Meet Kia

With a guesstimated birthday in Jan. 2020, Kia weighed 20 lb at her vet exam in Jan. 2024.

Kia is a shy girl and hoping for a quiet family with calm confidence to help her learn new things / places are curious rather than scary. She is afraid of men so a patient man, who won't take it personally if it takes her a long time to be friends, is important.

Kia is working on house-training, so will need to be on a regular schedule to help reinforce she only has to wait a little while for a potty break. She's leash savvy.

Kia isn't a fan of cats - she says she's allergic :) She likes some dogs - polite, calm ones are preferred.

**************************************************
Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

For adult dogs, our adoption fee covers a standard canine vaccine, a rabies vaccine, heartworm (HW) test, HW prevention, and deworming if recommended by our vet.

Puppies will have two vaccinations, deworming, and heartworm prevention if age-appropriate. An additional fee for the 3rd puppy vaccination and rabies vaccination, if administered, will be added to the adoption fee.

If you are adopting an intact dog, a refundable spay/neuter deposit is required, and a vet reference may be required.

Foster dogs are shown on a rotating schedule at our Saturday Adoption Events which occur several times a month at Waggin' Tail Resale store located at 220 Joyceton Church Rd, Lenoir. Additionally, "Meet & Greets" can be scheduled with a specific dog on Saturdays (11am-3pm) in our Adoption Center at Waggin' Tail Resale. Additional times for "Meet & Greets" may be scheduled depending on the schedules of Adoption Counselors and Foster Parents.

Shelter Dogs can be seen at the Bunch Anderson Shelter on Saturdays from 12pm-3:30pm, or by appointment. To request an appointment, e-mail: info@foothillscaninerescue.org. We will respond within 24-48 hours M-F. (BAS is also located at 220 Joyceton Church Rd)
