Kiva is a sweet, incredibly smart dog with a playful, puppy-like spirit. Shelter life has caused significant stress, but beneath her anxiety is a loyal, people-loving dog who is eager to please and ready to rediscover her joyful personality.
Ideal Home
Kiva needs an experienced adopter who understands behavioral decompression and can provide a calm, structured, quiet environment. She is not a fit for a first-time dog owner. Her ideal home will provide intense physical exercise, mental stimulation such as puzzles and nose work, and patient support through stressful transitions.
Ongoing Health
Kiva is spayed and vaccinated. No medical conditions are reported in the listing.
Training & Support
Kiva is highly treat-motivated and knows how to sit. She enjoys squeaky toys and fetch. Shelter stress has led to spinning and pacing in her kennel, extreme hyper-arousal and leash reactivity on walks, and severe handling resistance when returning to her kennel. She needs positive-reinforcement training, advanced handling experience, and careful management during stressful transitions.
