Kima

Kima - from surviving to thriving <br/><br/>Kima's story didn't start easy. She came to us from a hoarding confiscation case through the county shelter. Born and raised in a chicken wire pen outdoors with more than 20 other dogs, she had never lived inside a home... never worn a collar or leash... and had very little hands-on human interaction.<br/>When she first arrived, she was understandably terrified. The sounds, the space, the routine of indoor life - everything was brand new to her. It took time, patience, and a lot of gentle reassurance for Kima to decompress and learn what it means to be a loved household member.<br/>And oh, how she has blossomed. <br/>Today, Kima attends events and does beautifully with everyone she meets. She may be shy at first, but give her a little moment and she warms up quickly, revealing the sweetest, slightly goofy little personality. Once she trusts you, she absolutely adores being part of the action.<br/>At just 8 pounds and 5 years old, Kima is a tiny girl with a tender heart. She will need a secure home - if she were to slip out, she can still be a bit flighty. Because of her past, safety and structure are very important for her continued confidence.<br/>She would be okay as an only dog, but she would truly love a friendly small dog or even a playful cat companion to help her feel secure and have fun.<br/>Kima is proof that patience changes lives. She doesn't need perfection - she just needs someone willing to continue showing her that the world is safe and love is forever.
