Meet Kira, a 7-and-a-half-year-old English mastiff mix who loves carrying her teddy bear around and taking up way too much space on the couch. She’s looking for a “fospice” home, which means that she’ll be your permanent foster pet
while the SPCA of Texas provides her medical care for life. Kira is in the early stages of chronic renal insufficiency and will need to remain on a special diet for life. She’s still a happy, playful dog and who deserves a mellow, laidback home where she can be comfortable and cared for. Kira would love a home with a fenced-in yard, a couple of very big water bowls to keep her hydrated, teens and adults who will help monitor her strict diet and humans who are very big fans of naps, cuddles and having no personal space whatsoever. Kira also hopes her new family will spoil her rotten with lots of stuffed toys. If you are willing to open your heart and your home to Kira, please email foster@spca.org

Each year American Girl releases a “doll of the year” with a rich backstory that gives children plenty to think about. A Doll of the Year tends to be topical compared to the brand’s famous historical dolls which let kids explore bygone eras. Last year Joss was a competitive athlete who wore a hearing aid and had a service dog. In 2019 Blaire worked her family’s farm-to-table restaurant and tried not to text all the time. The 2021 American Girl Doll is Kira, age 10, who helps her family protect their Australian wildlife sanctuary threatened by wildfires.
