MEET KALENA
A Survivor Ready for Love
Thrown from a pickup truck in La Junta, Colorado, Kalena—affectionately called Kiki—was left broken, emaciated, and out of time. With death looming, Karl’s Canine Krew stepped in just in time, offering her the second chance she desperately needed.
Though her past was filled with hardship, likely as a breeding dog in a dogfighting ring, Kiki is learning what it means to be loved. In her foster home, she’s working on recall, muzzle training, and trust, proving every day just how strong and resilient she truly is.
Kiki is looking for a foster-to-adopt home where she can continue to heal. She needs to be the only pet (though with time and training, she may do well with a puppy). Cats are a no-go, and while she adores children, her excitement makes her best suited for a kid-free home.
This sweet pit bull mix has come so far and just needs a patient, experienced adopter to help her write the next chapter of her story. If you have the heart and commitment to show her what love truly means, Kiki is ready to meet you. Will you be the one to give her the forever she’s been waiting for? 💙🐾

CHECK OUT KALENA
Kalena has made incredible progress on her journey to becoming the best girl she can be. She has mastered place, sit, and down and is doing exceptionally well with her muzzle training. She’s currently working on drop it, stay, and perfecting her polite greetings by keeping all four paws on the ground.
Due to her past, Kalena does experience some general anxiety and thrives in a home where her humans can be around her often. She will do best as the only pet in the home, where she can continue building trust and confidence. Kalena loves mental stimulation and would absolutely flourish with someone experienced with her breed—someone ready to put in the work to help her continue growing into the incredible dog she’s meant to be. 💙🐾
