In the shelter’s words

Kalina is a courtesy listing, not in the AARF foster program, and we are posting online to help the owner find a home for them. Please visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/adoption-app/ to apply. Meet Kalina Kalina's story started almost two years ago when she walked into our lives—literally. We had stopped for coffee when a very pregnant stray dog approached us. After confirming she didn't belong to anyone, we brought her home. A few weeks later, she gave birth to a beautiful litter of puppies. We were fortunate enough to find loving homes for every one of them. Now it's Kalina's turn. Kalina is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever known. She has a way of looking at you with an unmistakable "I love you" stare that melts your heart. She is house-trained, well-behaved, and happiest when she's by your side. Whether it's a quick errand or an overnight road trip, Kalina is always ready to go along for the adventure. She loves to play fetch and will happily chase a ball, leaping and twirling through the air to catch it. She has a playful spirit and a joyful personality that shines through every day. Like any dog, she has a few quirks. Food left unattended is considered fair game in Kalina's world, so you'll want to keep snacks out of reach. She is also very protective of her home and property. While she can be reactive toward other dogs, she is incredibly friendly with people when out in public. Because of this, she would do best as the only dog in the household, though she may potentially accept a puppy if introduced while it's very young. We are unsure of her history, but she carries a scar above her right eye, and some of her front teeth are broken. Neither has diminished her loving nature or her zest for life. If anything, they've only made her story more remarkable. Kalina deserves a home where she can be someone's loyal companion, get plenty of attention, and enjoy all the adventures she loves. If you're looking for a devoted best friend who will love you with her whole heart, Kalina may be the perfect match.
