When you decide to get a new fur buddy, you have a lot more to do than just picking out your newest furever friend.

Unlike having a new baby, choosing a pooch is up to you, so you need to make certain that you get one that is the best fit for you, and for them. Consider your lifestyle and hobbies, whether you live in a large home or a small condominium or apartment, whether you have kids or other fur buddies, and whether you want your new canine kid to be a companion pet or something else like a watchdog or hunting partner.

Kai

The story of Kai is a rags to riches sort of ‘tail’ about a black Labrador Retriever living on the streets who gets picked up by animal control in 2009 after being thrown out by her previous owners. When animal control contacted the owners, found by the chip in Kai’s neck, they gave up their rights to the dog, and she went to the Humane Society of Central Illinois.

During her stay at the Humane Society, Kai was observed digging in a large box full of dog toys. She relentlessly searched and searched until she found the only tennis ball in the box, tossing other toys out of the way in her search. Once Kai got ahold of that ball, it was hers, and she never let it out of her sight, even taking it to her kennel to sleep with.

In 2020, one of the employees at the Humane Society saw her drive and persistence as a positive trait and called a trainer with the State Farm Arson Dog Program and asked them to evaluate the smart canine. They sent over a handler, Justin Davis, who immediately agreed with the Humane Society employee and signed her up to train as a fire dog.

One month after beginning her training with Justin, they were certified as an accelerant detection canine team with the San Antonio Fire Department in San Antonio, Texas. Using her persistence and drive, Kai is able to find the tiniest molecule of flammable substances used to start fires. Since then, Kai has been on over 200 fire calls and positively found the evidence on every one of them.

Not only does she have a 100% approval rate with fire detection, but she is also educating others about fire safety. She and Justin make appearances in local schools to teach youngsters about how to be safe in a fire. Kai and Justin show how quickly playing with fire can get you into trouble and what kind of substances to stay away from. In addition, they give examples on how to get out of a building in case of a fire.

She also works as a trainer for college students at the nearby college. The forensics students learn from Kai and Justin about the different accelerant substances that can be found at a crime scene and how Kai is able to detect them. Kai is giving back to save others as she was rescued by Justin from the animal shelter. In 2014, Kai was recognized for her work by the American Humane Hero Dog Awards, so she is a superstar now, but she still loves that tennis ball.

You want something that fits their personality, quirks and all so spend some time observing them to see if you can spot any cute habits or mannerisms.
