Bring Kala Home for the Holidays

The e-pit-ome of sweetness, this friendly 3-year-old defies a stereotype.

At this time of the year one hears the expression "it is better to give than to receive." Why not do both and adopt Kala? She is a wonderful 3-year-old female pit-bull mix with a mild disposition who desperately needs to leave the shelter environment.

Although she arrived as a stray, the shelter volunteers say that she is one of the most magnificent girls ever! She is sweet, gentle and beautiful. Doesn’t she look stunning in her holiday sweaters?
