Hello, with a heavy heart i am listing this sweet pup today, her name is Kaya. She's about 6 months old from what i can tell. I found her on the side of the road about a month ago, malnourished and cold, i took her in, got her healthy, vaccinated and checked out, however i am not in a position to take care of her full time as she needs, due to health issues and other circumstances, she is super sweet, has no aggressive tendencies, is friendly with every dog and person she's met and is a super fast learner, she's a super great doggy.
