Meet Kiara, a 5-year-old red female Doberman with a heart full of love and determination! This brave girl is deaf, but don't let that fool you – she’s just as playful and sweet as any other dog. Kiara has already learned a few signs, like "sit" and "shake," and now it’s our turn to learn from her! Despite the challenges she’s faced, Kiara is a trooper. She was sadly dumped at a shelter in the Four Corners of New Mexico, with her owner asking for her to be euthanized. Thankfully, High Desert Doberman Rescue stepped in, and now Kiara is safe and loved in her foster home.

Kiara is a little touch-sensitive, using gentle nudges with her nose to connect with both humans and other dogs, which we believe is her way of "hearing." She would thrive with a doggy companion who is tolerant and understanding, especially one who can help guide her in the world of sound. Kiara previously lived with a pitbull who may have been her "ears," so having another dog who is patient and accepting of her unique communication style would make her feel even more secure.

She’s housebroken, crate trained and settles in nicely after a little bark. Kiara is current on her vaccines, spayed, and microchipped. She’s looking for a loving family who will embrace her for the amazing, goofy, and resilient dog that she is. If you think you could be the perfect match for Kiara, please apply today!
