Our newest foster dog will be arriving late tomorrow and we're pretty excited to welcome her.

She spent the last month in the City of Sacramento Animal Shelter, and like all the dogs there her life hung in limbo. New Rattitude's California State Rescue Coordinators had been tracking her and hoping for an opening and thanks to the adoption of Coho, we had room for a new foster. So a California volunteer drove up to Sacramento and picked her up from the shelter.

She's one year old and we believe she weighs about 12-13 pounds. Her body is all white and you can see she has the cute brown markings on her head. And from what we hear she has a great personality as well. She's an active, playful, super smart little gal and her temp foster mom says she would excel in some type of dog sport or at a minimum some trick classes.
This sweetie is named for a structure used since ancient times by the Pueblo cultures for religious rituals. In the ancient societies the kiva was a round room below ground but in modern cultures the building is square and above ground. We took these photos of kivas on vacations to the Southwest in the past.
