Meet Kimber.

Kimber is a very sweet little girl who has had a rough start to life. Kept in a crate and provoked to get a reaction, Kimber has not had the chance to be the dog she was meant to be. She's had no training, no opportunity to play and no love- until she came here.

But Kimber doesn't hold that in her heart. While she's already come so far, she's still very much a work in progress. Kimber absolutely loves to play (especially with her stuffed toys), but she can become overly excited and might start using her mouth to release all that built-up energy. She doesn't mean any harm; she's just still learning how to manage all that enthusiasm. It's important not to get her too revved up during play or with lots of cuddles right after, as her excitement can bubble over in the form of playful nips. Because of this, Kimber will need to be in a home with adults only for the time being.

Kimber has also been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, which means she can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the world around her. She's currently doing well on lifelong medication to help manage her anxiety, and it's made a big difference. Our team is happy to walk you through everything you need to know about her ongoing care- it's very manageable, and Kimber is absolutely worth it.

Kimber is okay with other dogs, particularly those who are calm, confident, and can help show her that not every interaction has to be full-throttle. She'd do well with a dog who can tolerate her boisterous puppy energy but gently guide her toward more appropriate play styles. Please bring along any resident dogs along to the meet and greet.

She'll need a home that can offer her patience, structure, and consistent guidance as she continues to build confidence and develop good habits. Basic manners, calm greetings, and learning how to settle after play are all still new concepts to her, but she's smart and eager to please - she just needs someone willing to teach her with kindness and clarity.

Kimber may have had a rough start, but her heart is wide open and full of love. Are you able to give Kimber a second chance at life? Come down and adopt her today.
