This is Kiara! She's just under two years old and is a gorgeous mix breed. She's not too big (42 lbs), and is super calm and easy going. She is good with dogs and kids (but would need slow and easy introductions), but she does like to hunt, so cats are probably not a good fit. She's well trained and smart and, uh, stubborn. She knows the word for down. She knows you want her to lay down. But she's just going to stare right back at you because she just doesn't feel like it right now. Which is charming and hilarious, but you might need to work on a little if you bring her home.She is crate trained and potty trained and would be a great addition to many homes. If you're interested in Kiara, you can see her adoption information here.  About this projectFor the next month, I’ll feature photos on my blog, my instagram and my facebook feeds that focus on dogs who need homes. These are dogs currently in foster homes, waiting for their forever family. They are amazing pups who will melt your hearts — some are hard to adopt because they are pit bull mixes (the sweetest dogs ever who cannot help their strength) or they have lived on the streets for a long time and are covered in scars or they might be blind or deaf (or both). Some are simply hard to get adopted because they are black, which is the dumbest reason ever. But each dog that has come into my studio in the last few weeks for photos has had a warm heart and wanted nothing more than love. Wouldn’t it be great if one of you could provide that? I hope so. To see all the dogs featured so far, look here.
