Kiri Wheaten Terrier Coquitlam, BC

Kiri and Koko came to the Shelter after their dad passed away suddenly. Both girls were extremely upset and we have given them some time to adjust before putting them up for adoption.

Kiri is very energetic and acts like a puppy. She is extremely affectionate and loves to shower you with kisses! Kiri would do well in a home with a fairly active owner who wants to go for long walks in the park. Kiri needs some obedience classes with her new family and to work on her leash skills. Kiri gets along with some dogs, but can be very vocal when she plays. She would need to be introduced to any dog in the home prior to adoption.

Kiri requires a special diet due to a disorder of her pancreas, and will require it for life. She is also on a powder enzyme to help her digest her food that she requires up to three times a day. Luckily Kiri loves to eat and has no problem taking her medicine.

Kiri has some seperation issues that her family will need to help her overcome, or manage. She would do well in a home that has someone home all the time, or perhaps another dog would help calm her. Kiri cannot live in a home with cats as she has a very high prey drive.
