Hi there! Kiri here.
I'm five years of pure energy wrapped in muscle, but honestly, I've mastered the art of the perfect nap—just give me a puzzle, a ball, and a confident leader to settle this restless mind.
They wrote that I love to play. Understatement. I'd hike, fetch, and nap with you, in that order.
I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.
I'm a Tacoma local, just waiting on the right person.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
Who knows — by Labor Day I might be napping on somebody's couch. I'd love it to be near you, one way or another.
Either way, thank you for seeing me today. That part mattered more than you know. — Kiri

About Kiri
Kiri is a 5 year old all American mix who is ready to graduate from her foster home. She is looking for a calm and confident pack leader who can take her on daily walks, play with balls, and let her roll around in the grass. She is a very sweet dog who is house trained and can be trusted when left alone in the house.Kiri is incredibly smart and athletic. She can be high energy and would be thrilled to play with a ball or tug toy all day long! Challenging Kiri with mental games and continued training will tire her out more quickly (15 minutes of thinking = a 50 mile run). Left to her own agenda, Kiri will communicate with "piranha chomps" and short barks. These joy-filled demands are non-threatening, simply showcasing her impatience, and can be quickly corrected once Kiri learns that quiet and calm behavior are expected before getting what she wants. Kiri knows almost 20 basic commands and would really enjoy continued learning with her pack leader. She is motivated by balls, verbal praise, food puzzles and has the potential to excel at sports like agility and nose work.Kiri loves all people, including men and kids. Her high prey drive requires slow introductions to animals with plenty of space and Kiri would prefer to be the only pet in the home (the reason she was surrendered). Kiri adapted quickly to the foster home's routine where her regular jobs include alerting for strangers, incorporating play into everyday activities, and attacking houseflies. She settles well in the house when needed - mirroring the energy of her pack - generally a lovely companion.See Kiri in action:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfLnw-bmmp0DOB: 03/30/2020Female, Spayed.Weight: ~60 poundsFully vetted and healthy.
