Date into Rescue: 10/27/2025
Reason for being in rescue: Born into rescue
Foster location: Dreamweaver Farms, Pacolet SC
Special Needs? Kia is up to date on vaccines and has been dewormed. Mama Zaire was found as a stray, heavily pregnant. She gave birth in the car while being transported to rescue. Our best guess is that she is an Australian Shepherd / Doodle mix. These puppies are not hypoallergenic and will shed.
Weight: 12 lbs and growing - we expect Kia will be between 75 lbs - 85 lbs when full grown
Height: 12 in and growing - we expect Kia will be at least 24 in when full grown
Spayed/Neutered: No. Kia is too young to be spayed. She will be adopted on a spay/neuter contract that requires you to spay her at your cost within 12 months and provide proof of spay
Adoption Fee: Donation of your choice - our wish is for this puppy to be in her forever home for the holidays.
Fence needed? Yes, Kia requires a physically fenced yard with fencing 4 feet or taller.
What kind of home would be best for me? Kia is looking for a home that either has another large, active dog for play OR has a plan for regular socialization. Regular socialization means scheduled play time a minimum 3 times per week for at least an hour with another young, active dog. Puppies need friends! A person scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and can provide multiple potty breaks throughout the day and night is a must. She is a baby and needs play breaks as well as frequent and consistent potty times to aid in potty training.
What is my personality like? Kia is a young, happy, active puppy. She loves his litter mates, loves to play, and loves toys. Kia is one of the fuzzier puppies in her litter. Her fluff looks like she stuck her little paw in a socket.
PUPPY POLICY:
Thank you for carefully considering the addition of a puppy to your family. Puppies can be a joyous experience, but they can also be a tremendous amount of work. Since our goal is to place each of our dogs in forever homes, we are especially cautious with puppies. We like to stress 3 major things when considering a puppy vs. an adult dog: 1) many adult dogs are well bred, well trained dogs who find themselves in rescue through no fault of their own, 2) adult dogs are eager to share their love and bond with their new family, and 3) puppies will always require far more time, energy, and training than an adult dog.
Our ideal puppy adopters are:
-experienced dog owners with a solid record of excellent vet care of their previous pets
-scheduled away from home for no more than 4 hours per day and have another canine companion already in the home
-stay at home type of people (work at home, home schoolers, retired, etc.)
How do I act when I first meet new people? Kia a happy girl who enjoys meeting new friends.

House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
