🐾 Dog of the Month: Kalena – A Survivor Ready for Love 🐾

For nearly 400 days, Kalena has been waiting for the right home—the one where she can finally feel safe, loved, and understood. She is a true testament to resilience, proving every day that with patience and love, a broken past does not define the future.

Thrown from a pickup truck in La Junta, Colorado, Kalena—affectionately called Kiki—was left emaciated, broken, and out of time. With death looming, Karl’s Canine Krew stepped in just in time to give her the second chance she so desperately needed. Though her past suggests she was used as a breeding dog in a dogfighting ring, Kalena has never given up on humans—and she’s ready to find the ones who won’t give up on her.

In her foster home, she’s working hard and thriving with structure and training. She has mastered place, sit, and down and is doing exceptionally well with muzzle training. She’s currently learning drop it, stay, and how to greet humans politely without jumping. While she has come so far, Kalena needs an experienced, patient adopter who understands her past and is willing to put in the work to help her become the incredible dog she’s meant to be.

Kalena is looking for a foster-to-adopt home where she can continue healing. She will thrive as the only pet, as she builds confidence and trust in her new environment. Cats are a no-go, and while she adores kids, her energy makes her better suited for an adult-only home.

Kalena is more than just a dog—she’s a survivor waiting for her happily ever after. Could that be you? If you or someone you know is ready to give Kalena the forever she has been waiting for, please reach out today!
