Tube fed originally, a healthy Kia wants a happy home

Kia and her sister were relinquished by their owner when they were three days old. The owner said the mother dog was burying them alive and trying to eat them.

Helping Orphaned Hounds Rescue tube fed them until they were strong enough to be bottle fed.

Now Kia is a happy, healthy girl. She is approximately 10 weeks old and spayed.

Kia’s mother was a Queensland heeler dog, and the dad is believed to be a shepherd mix.
