** KIRA REQUIRES A 6 FT FENCE **

Introducing Kira! This happy wiggle-butt is a 3-year-old girl who is so ready to have a family of her own.  But did you know there is something called Black Dog Syndrome? That's right.  For some reason, black dogs are less likely to be adopted.  So she's watched all her other rescue friends frolic off to their new homes, yet she still remains.  We don't understand. 

She's the total package.  Thanks to the wonderful folks at Puppies for Paroles, she has completed a 12-week training program and has basic manners down.  

She loves to do typical pittie wrestles and tug and is a pro at zoomies.  She is excellent at playing with dogs who match her energy and size, though she is also learning how to be gentle with one of the older dogs she is near lately.  Due to her natural prey drive, small dogs and cats are probably not a great fit.  She can be very vocal, so no apartments or condos.

Kira is not just your average pup – she's incredibly smart and loves to challenge her mind. You'll often find her engrossed in food puzzles, showcasing her problem-solving skills and intelligence.  Have you ever seen those dogs who can speak by pressing the talking buttons? Well she is starting to learn how to "touch" and "boop" so we think she would make a perfect candidate for the next talking dog superstar on social media. 

This sweet girl is looking for a family who understands the importance of continued training and guidance. With her loving heart, irresistible charm, and sharp mind,  Kira is sure to bring endless love and happiness to her new home. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this precious soul, Kira can't wait to meet you!
