An adorable pit bull pup has finally found its forever home after being abandoned by three families because it only has half a nose.
Kia was born with a cleft lip, meaning she is missing part of her face and the teeth on the left side of her face grew upwards rather than straight.
Abandoned pup: Pit bull Kia was deserted by three families which owner Lindsey thinks was because of her cleft lip
Friendly and loving: Despite the canine’s appearance, Lindsey said ‘she is the gentlest pooch you could dream of’
Born with her deformity: The pooch who is thought to be six or seven was born with the cleft lip
Lindsey and her family rescued grey-haired Kia, who is thought to be six or seven, from the Cache Humane Society near their home in Utah.
‘She snores like a freight train:’ Lindsey said that Kia’s deformity doesn’t affect her breathing but it does cause some loud snoring
Scared of her appearance: Despite the dog’s loving personality, people are still afraid because her teeth are always bared
‘She still has both nostrils but she is missing the lip and part of her nose. Her teeth are growing up into her nostril.’
‘People say she is ugly and ask, ‘”Who would get a dog like that?’”
‘Even if she wanted to:’ Lindsey said when people tell her Kia is showing her teeth, she says that she can’t cover them if she wanted to
Just like any other dog: Lindsey said when people get to know the loving pooch, they love her and that she’s the same as other canines
