Say hello to Killara, a clever German Shepherd mix who is as smart as she is sweet. This lovely girl already knows a long list of commands, including "sit," "stay," "lay down," "shake a paw," "go to your crate," "no," "off," "leave it," and even "where's your toy?" She's crate-trained and has lived with cats before, so she may do well with dog-savvy feline friends after careful introductions.

Killara does struggle with leash reactivity, which means she gets overstimulated or frustrated when she sees other dogs while she is on a leash. This can cause barking or pulling, but with positive reinforcement and guidance from our staff, adopters can help her manage this behavior. Despite her leash reactivity, Killara may thrive with a compatible dog sibling.

The shelter environment has been overwhelming for her, but her affectionate nature shines through. Killara is ready to find a loving home where she can relax, continue learning, and share her big heart. Could she be your next best friend?
