Meet Kaili, a total sweetheart with a playful spark and a big love for her people. She absolutely adores squeaky toys, cozy pets, and curling up for cuddles. If you’re moving around the house, don’t be surprised if she’s right behind you—she’s a curious girl who likes to be part of whatever’s going on. When guests come over, Kaili gets excited to greet them and proudly show off her newest toys before eventually settling in for some attention (which she’s always happy to accept!).
Food and treats are the way to her heart, and she’s very motivated to learn—especially if there’s a snack involved. She has lovely house manners, doesn’t counter surf, and understands that furniture is off-limits when that’s the rule. One of her favorite places to be is stretched across your lap, soaking up affection. She’s also a great little errand buddy and enjoys short car rides.
Kaili has a hilarious ongoing “feud” with the robot vacuum—she’ll play with it, follow it around, and firmly tell it off if it dares to approach her favorite spot. It’s all part of her charming, spirited personality.
While Kaili is incredibly loving, she does like to have a say in things. She’ll thrive in an active home with a couple or a family with older children who are comfortable around dogs and understand the importance of kind, consistent boundaries. In the right home, Kaili will be a devoted, entertaining, and snuggly companion.
