About Kia

MEET KIA - Smart dog from herding lines Kia is a wonderful 1 year old red border collie. She is 25-30 lbs. Kia wants nothing more than to go to work and come home to a nice quiet space. She comes from strong, competitive herding lines, but doesn't fit into her former owner's herding program. Kia lived on a cattle ranch. Her foster took her to a herding instinct evaluation. Kia is very drivey. She would love to go to a working home where she could put her instincts to good use. Kia needs a quiet space as new noises can be scary, but she has been getting better with this in her foster home. Kia is on the submissive side. She is dog friendly and loves people. She is leash trained, crate trained and does great in the car. She has not shown any resource guarding behaviors. She seems to be potty trained but needs patience when she goes out (sometimes she is distracted and forgets to go). She is smart and ready to learn! KIA DOES WELL WITH: �'ۢ Other dogs - Kia grew up around other dogs. She is comfortable and happy with both male and female dogs. �'ۢ Cats - She has done well with cats both indoors and outdoors. She loves cats and does not chase them. �'ۢ People - Kia is a sensitive girl but likes people. KIA WOULD NEED HELP WITH: �'ۢ Poultry and horses - Fast movement excites Kia. She will chase and try to work chickens and horses, but with proper training, we feel that she could learn boundaries. �'ۢ Sound sensitivity - Kia is a sensitive girl who is learning to be comfortable in new environments. THE REST OF THE IMPORTANT DETAILS Kia was recently spayed, microchipped, and brought up to date on her vaccinations. She is currently being fostered in Shelton, WA. Her adoption fee is $400.
