Kaida is a 7-year-old poodle/Maltese/Lowchen mix who came to the shelter very matted. She has now had a haircut, and looks a bit like a black lion.

She is a very friendly girl who likes her walks, is house trained and has good manners. She likes other gentle dogs and didn’t chase the cats she met at the shelter.

Kaida needs a quiet, adult only home as she has cataracts and although he can see light and dark, fast movements scare her.

Kaida is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. She is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes.
