Kisa Marie

I’m a rescue trying to show the world how amazing shelter animals are. Hi! My name is Kisa Marie. Lucky for me, my owner surrendered me to a shelter.
(2)

I was born in 2021 and for the first 8 months of my life I lived in a not-so-good house where I was mistreated. Unfortunately, I stayed there for 8 months. On January 2, 2023, my new parents came and took me home. I was nervous and scared around men, so it took me a day to warm up to my new dad. But he was great and got down on the floor with me and was really nice. I learned that I did not have t

o gobble up my food because I was always going to have food available and nobody was going to take it away from me. I have a brother, an Indian Ringneck Parrot, that took a bit of time to adjust to. He talks, and I had never heard a bird talk before. He would come outside of his cage, climb down to my level, and say “come here.” I would go over, and my parents would say “leave it.” I was kind of confused, but realized that I should listen to my parents and not my brother. My parents took me to the vet a couple weeks after adopting me, just to make sure everything was okay and to get me established. The vet thought it would be a good idea for me to go to daycare sometimes to help me get socialized. Turns out in order to go to daycare I needed the flu vaccine, so I had to get a shot. It pinched, but wasn’t too bad. I went for my evaluation day at daycare in February and did great. I knew how to alert my parents when I needed to go outside, but didn’t know any other commands or tricks. Mom enrolled me in beginner class at PetSmart, and boy do I really like going to class. I learned to focus (look at mom), sit, stay, get up on a box, and walk past people and other dogs without stopping to interact with them. The class also learned leave it, but my parents had already taught me that because of my brother. I was supposed to learn lay, but no matter how much people tried to teach me I didn’t understand what they wanted me to do. I kept putting my head and front paws down on the floor with my butt in the air, but that wasn’t right. I graduated beginner, intermediate, advanced, and therapy dog classes. I’m now a certified therapy dog and do nursing home visits. In addition to all the fun I have at daycare and class, I have a best friend that lives just a few houses down. I enjoy meeting all dogs I see walking in the neighborhood, but my best friend Gracie and I had an instant connection and were playing together immediately when we crossed paths in January. It was kind of hard to play on the side of the road with both of us on a leash, so Gracie’s mom invited us down for a playdate later that week. We had so much fun. At first, we were playing 2-3 times a week. Now, we play pretty much every day! Sometimes we go there and sometimes they come here. Gracie’s parents are so nice to me and call me their step dog. When I hurt by back (nothing too serious), they got me a treat and a teddy bear. For my 2nd birthday, they got me a new collar and one of the big treats I like from the local pet store. Gracie has a brother Max, who is an outdoor cat. I wasn’t sure about him at first, but now we are friends and even play together when Gracie and I are playing in her backyard. I am lucky to have four grandparents: Grandma, Grandpa, Grammy, and Grandad. I go to Grandma’s house the most because Mom has to go stay there every other month or so for some appointments. There is a doggy door and a fenced back yard, so I get to spend a lot of my time outside. Grandpa lives at the coast, and I got to go to the beach for the first time. Grammy and Grandad have three dogs, but two are really old and don’t want to play. One is just a couple years older than me though, so that is nice. My goal is to help people realize that there are awesome dogs like me in shelters all over the world. Please adopt, don’t shop. When you do adopt, please give your new pet time to adjust. Some of us have been through a lot. Remember the rule of 3: it can take us 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to feel comfortable in our new home with our new family, and 3 months to be fully settled in. There are plenty of resources online about this, so please take a look before you adopt. Some sites have great suggestions on how to help us adjust to our new home. I’m so lucky to have been adopted by my parents. They tell me they love me all the time and that I am a good girl. It is nice to have a good home where I feel safe and loved. Sharing my adventures (and mishaps) with everyone is going to be so much fun. Please follow me on Facebook as Kisa Marie, Instagram as misskisamarie, and on my website www.kisamarie.com.

Liking this new toy from RE Swanson Dahlgren.

Did this a few days ago. Ideas for a name? It’s made with pink, purple, and blue metallic paint.

01/13/2025

Update: Lucky Charm and Bright Sunshiny Day are gone.

I can’t sell my paintings on my FB page or they will take away my ability to monetize through them (not that I’ve made any money, lol). Y’all know anything I get from my paintings goes to rescues and shelters. Soooo, Mom got to thinking we can call it donating and I give you a painting as a thank you. Let’s give it a try. I’ll post some, then after a bit post some different ones.

These are all 3” flower magnets. If you are in the US, you can receive one for a $10 donation. Postage is included. If you are outside the US, I’ll have to calculate postage. If you are interested, message me with the name of the painting you are interested in.

Keylime got a package of little corn cobs for Christmas. Mom microwaves them to pop about half of it. He loves to pick the cob clean, mostly to entertain. He eats some of it. Mom will post a video in a bit.

01/12/2025

I forgot to show y’all what Grandpa got Mom for Christmas. We need to hang it in a different window, but doesn’t that look like me and Mom?

01/12/2025

This is exactly what I’m trying to show with my page - shelter dogs are incredible! We just needed the time to decompress, feel at home, and show our true self. This can take months, so we need patience. Some of us have been through a lot. Happy Sunday everyone!

01/12/2025

Night y’all! Hope you had a great day!

These are mine Mom. I’m playing with both. 🤣

We went today to pick up the $250 gift card for winning the Paws and Claws photo contest. To thank The Victoria Advocate for holding the contest, we made them a heart magnet painting with the blue and white from their logo using pearlized paints. We also appreciate Cole, Cole, Easley & Sciba, P.C. for sponsoring the contest and providing the prize. We made them a heart magnet in dark blue, gold, and a hint of white (all pearlized) like their website.

As promised, all $250 will go to shelters and rescues. Most of you saw that on Tuesday we answered an urgent plea from Paws4Christ Animal Rescue by buying $86.91 worth of dog food from their Amazon wish list. Stay tuned for how we donate the remaining money.

Thank you to everyone that voted. Without your votes, we couldn’t have won! ❤️🐾

Two squeakers down! One regular and one supersized! Nailed it!

Our fur friend Ellie Mae was showing off her beautiful lashes recently. Mom thinks it’s so neat I have one eye with white eyelashes and one eye with black eyelashes. Mom thinks the white ones are cuter (but she thinks all of me is cute 🥰).

Snuggling with Mom on this cold evening. Her leg makes a nice pillow. Soon I’ll move to my big bed to get a little more serious about going to sleep, then when I’m done being bothered by the tv and really ready for sleep I’ll go to my bed in their room. After they take me out for my nighttime business around 9:30, I’ll get back in my big bed to snuggle up for the night. Sometimes I’ll go spend part of the night in my bed in their room, but I kind of like my own space at night. Sleep tight friends! ❤️🐾

01/08/2025

We don’t get the prize money from the contest until Thursday, but we couldn’t resist an urgent plea from a local rescue. A pic of our donation in comments.

$2 Tuesday is here and we are down to one bag of dogfood and half a bag of cat food! Not only do your donations support our rescues, but it provides food & supplies to families in need and helps us bring strays off the streets. Please consider donating to help these babies today. Thank you all for your generous hearts. God Bless you and have an amazing day!

Mom and I did two maroon and white hearts today. What do you think, glitter or no glitter?

Yesterday was bath day 😭 Y’all know I hate bath day. I made Mom feel bad for a bit. I got a good treat out of it.
