About dogs named Kala

The following are 8 profiles of dogs named Kala from our database of 23 dogs with the name Kala.

• “Kala is the sweetest German Shepherd mix. He loves all people and any dogs that match his energy or are smaller than him. He’s not the biggest fan of high energy pups at his age. He’s so smart and one of the silliest, most opinionated dogs I’ve ever met.“

  — Jaclyn T.

• “I was rescued from a California highway on-ramp where I lived for two years. My two front legs were broken, and I got used to eating everything that I could find just to survive. I have a heart of gold and I love my family and I trust that I will be staying with them now. I am stronger than I know, and very playful. My sister, Hedy, has loved me from the first time she and puts up with me! Life is good! And by the way, I love taking care of little dogs !“

  — Brigitte L.

• “My name is Kala and I’m a young lab that loves food and people. My favorite things are to eat food, play with my family especially my doggie cousins, and go to training class with my mom. My favorite snacks are blueberries and my I love squeaky toys and toys like crinkle.“

  — Alicia P.

• “Hi, I am Kala, I love to explore and play. All the trainers and people that I meet say I am a wonderful, happy dog. I have an electric fence around my yard, but would love to explore other places. I love walks on quiet streets and busy city streets. I am working on recall when my family wants me to come to them.“

  — Deleted P.

• “I'm a 3-year old German Shepherd who LOVES to play. I'm a huge flirt with humans, but can be a little nervous of other dogs. I'm so excited to visit Sniff Spots in our area to be able to run free and play fetch with my mom.“

  — Sarah D.

• “Extremely high energy. She’s about 1/3 the size of my GSD, but she can hold her own when they wrestle.“

  — Steve M.

• “I'm a long-haired German Shepherd who can sometimes be a bit reactive to other dogs.“

  — Holly M.

• “Hi! I’m Kala and my mom and dad tell me I’m the bestest girl, so that must be true, right? I try to be happy all the time. I just don’t like it when other dogs try to steal my toys - especially my little brother. I’m 8 years old and very sweet ❤️“
