Kiwi American Staffordshire Terrier Mix Elburn, IL

Looking for my dog soulmate who likes playing, tugging, and roughhousing. Are you the one I am looking for?

Meet Kiwi, a mixed-breed brindle pup ready to find her forever home! She was transferred to Safe Haven from a local shelter because she had Parvo. She is now 100% healthy, and you would never know she had a challenging start to life. Kiwi is currently 40 pounds and 5 months old. She is tall for her age, and I expect she will continue to grow. She has a big personality and a lot of energy.

She loves to play with bigger dogs in her foster home and would love to join a house with playmates. She needs a lot of exercise and stimulation during the day to relax and cuddle with you on the couch at night.

Kiwi is crate-trained and sleeps quietly overnight from when her people go to sleep until she hears noises in the morning. She enjoys long walks and is learning how to behave on a leash. Her favorite thing is finding a stick or pinecone she can carry as we walk. She is very friendly and curious and gets excited when she sees other dogs or people.

She is still working on her manners and likes to jump up ., so little ones will have to be dog savvy. She must continue her training to be the best Kiwi she can be.

Kiwi is a bright and sweet girl who will make a great companion for a family that is looking for a spunky new family member.
