"Kiara’s opened up my eyes to an entirely new side of life!"

Kiara gives me a purpose. She inspired me to look into volunteering at my local vet clinic, get involved with the dog training and therapy dog community, and our new goal is to be able to foster dogs for no kill shelters. Before I got Kiara I had no idea that these were dreams I would have. She’s opened up my eyes to an entirely new side of life!"

Love at first sight
"I had always wanted a dog, ever since I was a little girl. My parents weren’t dog people, so I had to settle for fish. My husband (fiancé at the time) knew how much I loved havanese, and shortly after proposing, he drove me to pick out our puppy Kiara. It was absolutely love at first sight! When I held her, she cuddled into my shoulder and fell asleep. We knew right then that she was the perfect addition to our family! 

We call her our trial baby. She is everything I’ve ever dreamed of having in a dog. My husband absolutely adores her as well, which makes my heart melt. He’s more of a Bull dog or German Shepherd kind of guy. But this little 8-pound ball of fluff has him wrapped around her finger. She’s as much a part of our family as anyone ❤️"
