Tacoma, WALocal News

Kitara, a 4-year-old Australian Shepherd, is seeking a forever home after struggling to adjust in a shelter environment. Known for her intelligence and playful spirit, she initially exhibits timidity but quickly reveals her affectionate side with patience and understanding. The Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County is committed to finding loving homes for pets like Kitara, successfully placing over 6,000 animals each year and reuniting more than 1,100 lost pets with their families. This organization also offers essential community resources, such as spay/neuter and wellness vouchers, monthly vaccine clinics, and behavior advice. Kitara's journey emphasizes the critical need for adopting shelter pets and the transformative impact of compassionate care.

With her charming personality and loyalty, she could be the ideal companion for someone willing to provide a nurturing environment. By supporting local animal welfare initiatives, community members can make a significant difference in the lives of pets in need.
