Adopt: Twila

Could Twila Be Your Perfect Match?

📍 Covington, KY | 🎂 5 years old | ⚖️ 51 lbs

Some dogs walk into your life and quietly steal your heart. Twila is exactly that kind of dog.

Twila is a sweet, settled girl who came into foster care a little uncertain about the world. You would hardly know it now. Since arriving in her foster home in Kentucky, her energy has blossomed, her appetite has returned, and she has started venturing out of her crate to hang out with her people. She is blossoming into a sweet, confident girl who is ready to find her forever home.

🐾 Behavior & Personality

  • Calm, gentle, and affectionate — not reactive or fear-based in any observed environment

  • Responds to her name every single time and trots right over for love

  • That tail. It is the happiest, smackiest tail in all of Kentucky — consider the coffee table warned

  • No observed reactivity to sudden noises or movements

🦮 Exercise & Training

  • Low-to-moderate energy — one walk a day keeps her happy and content

  • Good on a leash (still hilariously working out how to navigate poles)

  • Highly food-motivated, especially hot dogs — makes training an absolute joy

  • Fully house-trained and lets you know when it is time to go outside

🏠 Around the Home

  • Crate-trained and now happily spends time out of her crate with her foster family

  • Settles into car rides almost immediately — a dream travel companion

  • Calm and welcoming with new people — no jumping, no retreating

  • Stays put even when the gate is left open

👨‍👩‍👧 Socialization

  • Gets along well with dogs of all temperaments

  • Sweet and gentle with small children (tail supervision advised for toddlers 😄)

  • Has not been tested with indoor cats — a cat-free home is preferred

💙 A Note on Twila's Health

  • Twila has been diagnosed with late stage renal dysplasia

  • She is happy, comfortable, and doing well on a carefully managed diet

  • Her coat has genuinely never looked better since starting her proper nutrition plan

  • Her forever family will need to be committed to her specialized diet and ongoing vet care

🏡 Her Ideal Home

  • A patient, loving family who will let her continue coming out of her shell at her own pace

  • A securely fenced yard is preferred — though at her energy level, it is not a dealbreaker

  • Cat-free home strongly preferred

  • Families with children are very welcome

If you are looking for a calm, sweet companion who will love you with everything she has got — Twila might just be the one you have been waiting for. 💜
