Meet Kiya
Kiya is a low-drive Belgian Malinois who will be completing our Raise N' Train program with us for the next 4 weeks. Because of her low drive she is NOT suited to bite work and will be adopted out as a companion dog only. She may be capable of doing scent work, which can be discussed with the Top Paw K9 Academy team if you are interested in adopting her and training her in that skill.

My Story
"Buddha, Buddha, Buddha, Buddha, rockin' everywhere! (To the tune of Ms. New Booty). Buddha was born 9/27/2020 in Rolla, Missouri and is a French Bulldog, Boston Terrier mix. He made a 12 hour road trip to Colorado to be loved on by his then 3, now 5 human siblings and 1 dog sibling. He LOVES attention and to be loved on. Buddha is VERY hyper and loves cardboard boxes and balls. He gets over excited and jumps up on people, rude! We have an older pit/lab mix and they have a love-hate relationship. While, for the most part, they have gotten along. Just recently, Buddha has gotten a little rough. One incident in particular left my older dog with a rip to the vet and some stitches. He has been getting better with her, however; he's started to show a lot of aggression towards other dogs. We have had company over with their pets as well as going to other peoples houses in an attempt to socialize him. All these attempts have been met with growling, lunging, and biting towards the other dogs (who usually just want to play).
Recently, he got out of his fenced yard and aggressively went after a leashed neighborhood dog (no injuries were sustained). He needs to be worked with and deserves a FURever home. He has a great personality and has been great with kids. Jennifer has given us a wonderful opportunity for Buddha to take part in the New Beginnings Program with Top Paw K9 Academy. He will go through training and will come out on the other side in a safe and loving home. It's bittersweet as he has been loved by our family for nearly three years. However, we would not be able to afford such wonderful training and it gives him the opportunity to live up to his potential and be a well mannered, obedient dog to his new loving home."
