Kiana's Story

Far out west, there is a small First Nations Community where AARCS rescues from time to time. A most kind and caring lady reports dogs in need, and also distributes food to hungry dogs in the community.
Kiana arrived in this lady's "yard" looking desperate and hungry. Where she came from is not known - "from the bushes" is what we were told. Because we had a foster spot open, and a marvellous foster family to bring her too, Kiana was given a ride to Red Deer.
She is fairly small in stature, probably border collie, heeler, and maybe shepherd, maybe not! Her foster mom is slowly bringing her around and reports Kiana to be friendly, playful, cuddly, once she is in the house. However, we think Kiana has been treated very badly in the past because she is still terrified to enter the house. Coaxing and treats does the trick!
Once she has made the transition from outside to inside, she is much better. At the moment she prefers women to men, but with lots of tlc, she will overcome this obstacle, much the same as Oreo has.
