Kalle
Meet Kalle! A thoughtful twelve-and-a-half-year-old mixed-breed beauty currently living Doylestown, PA, whose striking white and black coat is just as unique as her personality. With her gentle eyes and cautious heart, Kalle may take her time getting to know new people, but once she’s decided you’re part of her circle, she becomes a fiercely loyal shadow and cuddle companion. At around 70 pounds, Kalle is a large lady with a medium energy level, happy to relax next to you while you read or snooze, but also up for a round of play with her favorite stuffed toys (which she proudly demolishes with gusto). She’s crate trained, house-trained, and knows a few fun commands like “sit,” “paw,” and “high five.” A fenced yard is a must for this girl, especially since she’s shown some herding instincts and can be a bit protective in unfamiliar settings. While she has nipped at heels and once bit a neighbor who taunted her, Kalle is very responsive to patient guidance and positive reinforcement once she feels secure. Kalle is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations but she is developing cataracts. Thunderstorms make her nervous, but otherwise, she handles short absences like a pro usually just curling up for a nap. She’s not a fan of cats and can be shy around other dogs, so slow introductions are key. Her favorite spot to sleep? At the foot of the bed, right near her person! Kalle has shared her days with her dear companion Maya, and the two have a sweet, quiet bond that brings them both comfort. While Kalle can absolutely thrive on her own with the right loving family, she would be overjoyed to find a new home where Maya can join her too. Could your home be the peaceful haven this gentle soul needs? Reach out to adopt@joyfulpets.com to learn more about Kalle and the cozy companionship she’s ready to bring your way!
