Kiya

Kiya is a wonderful, loving dog looking for the right forever home. She was originally adopted by my grandmother, who has since passed away, making this an incredibly difficult decision for our family. Kiya loves people, is great with children, and gets along well with other dogs. She needs a very secure fenced yard and would do best in a home without cats, chickens, or other livestock. We are committed to finding her the loving home she deserves.
