She is currently living in an open daycare/shelter environment and will do best with a consistent daily potty routine when transitioning into a home.<br/> <br/> <br/> Crate trained: Yes (used primarily for air travel)<br/> <br/><br/><br/> When alone: Kiara currently lives in an open shelter setting and naturally seeks out her own quiet space when she wants to rest or decompress.

While she is not currently in a home environment, she is expected to adjust quickly.<br/><br/> Temperament<br/><br/>Kiara truly stands out for her gentle, calm, and mature demeanor. She's the kind of dog who quietly captures your heart the moment you meet her. Affectionate and easy to be around, Kiara bonds quickly and genuinely enjoys companionship and cuddles. At the same time, she has a lovely independent side and is perfectly content finding a sunny spot to relax on her own. This beautiful balance makes her an ideal family dog or a wonderful companion for someone seeking a loyal, loving presence.<br/><br/> Ideal Home<br/><br/>Kiara will thrive with a family or a dedicated individual who values gentle companionship and regular daily activities. She's looking for a calm, loving environment where she can continue to feel safe, secure, and cherished while sharing her affection freely.<br/><br/> Rescue Story<br/><br/>Kiara was surrendered by her family to a local rescue partner known for caring for multiple dogs. When her family decided they no longer wanted her, Kiara's future became uncertain. Without hesitation, her rescuer stepped in to protect her so she would never experience neglect.<br/><br/>As if she understood she was finally safe, Kiara adjusted beautifully over more than a year to her new life as part of a pack. Though resources were sometimes limited, she always had stability, balance, and care.<br/><br/>Now, it's Kiara's turn to move forward and find her forever home—a place where she will be chosen every day, deeply loved, and cherished for the rest of her life.<br/><br/> Location: Mexico (waiting for a family to commit to a 10-day trial)<br/> Adoption Fee: $600<br/> Apply at: www.northwestwagrescue.org
