Kira was born on January 27, 2024.  She is a beautiful Caucasian Shepherd. Kira is no little girl! She already weighs 85 pounds!  She will most likely weigh over 100 pounds when fully grown.  

Kira is showing typical behavior for her breed.  She will alert you when people are coming. She takes her time to approach them. Kira is affectionate and playful.  She has a great time playing with her rope toys outside.  She is housebroken and just loves her crate.  While Kira was at board and train, she was eCollar trained. 

Kira has a medical condition known as Megaesophagus (Mega E).  Mega E is an enlargement of the esophagus which interrupts the normal flow of food to the stomach.  When Kira eats, she needs to be sitting up.  Her foster has ordered a special chair for her called a Bailey chair.  Kira will learn to get in and out of the chair, eat sitting up and will need to remain upright for 10 to 15 minutes after eating.  Kira will need inexpensive medication for the rest of her life.  The medication will help the food move down her esophagus and into her stomach. 

Kira can run, play, and love on her people like any other dog. She just needs some extra TLC at feeding time. 

 

Kira is not an SSR dog.  This is a courtesy post.  If you would like more information or are interested in adopting, please message us at dogs@shenandoahrescue.org and we will put you in touch with her foster.  Please consider welcoming beautiful Kira into your home!
