Adoption Write-up
Here's a little sparkler looking for a new home. Meet Kira, a bright, healthy, 3.5 -yo purebred, spayed female with an undocked tail. Kira is a former Foundation mill rescue, and while she has had a wonderful few years with her very loving and caring first home, she finds herself in need of another home now. Kira is affectionate (a lick machine), loves other dogs (from behind her fence she'll bark and posture, like any self-respecting kerry, but when allowed to meet and greet, she loves to play and has her good friends in the neighborhood), loves having company over and being around her people, is fully housebroken, and walks nicely on a leash.
Now, is she perfect? Well.... Kira does not like car rides, and may get carsick.
Once that's done, though, the rest of the car ride is uneventful; it's just the initial worry over humans' driving skills that upsets her ladylike
sensibilities. Also, Kira should not go to a home with young children, because her maternal instincts are alittle overdeveloped and she has been known
to try to protect her prechool-aged human sister from other little friends and from grandparents. The best home for Kira would be one where someone
was home during the day, as she's used to her dad working from home and follows him from room to room, and one with teenage or older children or an
adult-only home. She would love lots of exercise and playtime, and like all kerries would flourish in a home where her people could give her continued
positive training to help her know the rules and feel comfy.
