Adoptable pup looking for home to heal after surgery

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) - Meet Kiki! She is about 10 months old and at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center.

"Kiki just lights up a room when she comes in," said Ivy Dorow, foster coordinator at the shelter. "She's just so happy to see you and she will just make your day."

This fun-loving pup was found running loose in a neighborhood in December, and now she is looking for a medical foster or a foster to adopt. Kiki will have to undergo an FHO surgery, according to Dorow. It is an orthopedic surgery to help restore mobility to a damaged hip.

The pup is sponsored by Friends of the Shelter, which is paying for all of her medical care until she recovers and is medically cleared. Anyone who can give Kiki a loving home where she can relax and avoid running, jumping, and rough play for three months to recover and heal would be perfect for her.

If you are interested in fostering Kiki, email foster@franklincountyohio.gov. You can also visit her at the Franklin County Dog Shelter, which is located at 4340 Tamarack Blvd. in Columbus.
