German shepherd lovers Kitana is a firecracker on four paws. At just 9 months old, Kitana is a whirlwind of wiggles, wonder and wild-hearted joy. She’s got the boundless spirit of a shooting star and the curiosity of a cat (though don’t tell her that!). Whether she’s dashing through the yard like a streak of lightning or sniffing out the secrets of the great outdoors, this gal is always on a mission—to have fun! She’s a social butterfly with a shepherd’s smarts, getting along famously with her fellow furry friends. Have a pup at home? Let’s set up a meet-and-greet to see if they’re a dynamic duo in the making! And when it comes to people? Kitana is a tail-wagging, face-licking, command-learning superstar who’s eager to impress. She goes home spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and with six months of free heartworm prevention! Española Humane is open to walk-in adopters 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday at 108 Hamm Parkway in Española. Visit www.espanolahumane.org. Courtesy/EH
