• “Hi, I’m Kiba! 🐾 I’m a big, handsome White German Shepherd who takes my job as family security VERY seriously. I love exploring, sniffing absolutely everything, running around, and keeping an eye on my humans. I can be a little suspicious of new people at first, but once I decide you’re okay, we’re good. My humans say I need to get out more. I say I need more territory to inspect. 😌“

  — Porschia G.

• “Kiba is a chill guy who loves exploring new places! He's always happy to be out and about, on another adventure.“

  — Ravyn B.

• “I’m a shiba inu & pom mix. I’m small pup and my parents live in a condo that unfortunately does not have a yard for me to get my energy out and play. I’m kind of a nervous dog around other dogs. I don’t get along with bigger dogs so a private yard to play with my parents would be my dream come true!!“

  — Jennifer S.

• “Kiba is our newly adopted one year old Korean Jindo/Husky. He’s been through some things in his past, but overall he is a sweet boy that is very alert. At the moment, I do not trust him completely with other dogs and small children. For this reason, an area that is fenced is necessary. He’s very playful and loves his belly rubs, treats, and tennis balls!“

  — Marilyn A.

• “A very good boy who is a little reactive but loves people once he gets comfortable with you, has very happy tappies, and extremely happy wiggles, if we get to say hi he might pee on you or step on your toes before anything else lol.“

  — Paige J.

• “Hello! I'm Kiba and I'm a 3 yr old Husky/Malamute who loves to run it out sometimes but I also love to jump low fences and play catch-me-if-you-can, so I need enclosed spaces to run.“

  — Heidi A.

• “Kiba lives attention. He is very anxious when first meeting you, but once he gets to know you, he will not leave you alone until you pet and cuddle him. He's good around other dogs, a little barky. But he does appreciate his space.“

  — Juana R.

• “I may be small, but I have a big personality and a big voice. I like to play with other dogs and to cuddle with humans. But more than anything, I like to hunt!“

  — Lynn W.

• “I’m a rescue, they found me in Phoenix on the streets. Thankfully, I wasn’t in the shelter too long before I got rescued by Julie. I love People but I’m a little fearful of other dogs. I would love to come explore if I could get a private booking.“

  — Julia S.

• “Kiba is a high energy dog who loves to run and explore. He can be a chicken though and spook himself sometimes which is funny to see! He’s a big goofy boy dog“

  — Danielle S.

• “Kiba super dog friendly, neutered, fully vaccinated, trained, and very dog friendly (big and small). Kiba was a temperment tester at both shelters in Cali before coming to me. Loves to play. Chase. Be chased. Wrestle. He'd love to make more friends :)“

  — Annie B.

• “I’m Kiba! My favorite thing to do is nap in the warm sun and cuddle with my mom. I’m very mellow and only ramp up when I know it’s play time! I love to chase squirrels and and give kisses to my kitty sister.“

  — Chelsea R.

• “Hello! My name is Kiba and I'm an extremely friendly husky! I love exploring new places and making new friends. I love everyone and every dog (except my sister) and will do anything for a cookie!“

  — Timothy R.
