KIWI

Kiwi is a very shy, sensitive girl who needs a family that understands not every dog is immediately outgoing. New people, unfamiliar places, and new experiences can be overwhelming for her, and her first instinct is often to take a step back and observe. She isn't the type of dog who will greet strangers with a wagging tail right away—but with time, patience, and gentle encouragement, Kiwi begins to realize she's safe. Once you earn her trust, you'll discover a loving, loyal companion who simply wants to be close to her people.<br/><br/>One of the quickest ways to Kiwi's heart is through food! She is very food-motivated and eager to learn. She already knows "sit" and is currently working on "down," "come," and "off." With positive reinforcement and consistency, she'll continue to make great progress.<br/><br/>Kiwi enjoys going for walks, although unfamiliar environments can still make her nervous. She'll do best with someone who is willing to let her build confidence at her own pace while showing her that the world doesn't have to be so scary.<br/><br/>When Kiwi feels comfortable, her playful personality shines. She loves chasing her favorite toys, rolling around in cozy blankets, and happily chewing on a bully stick while relaxing near her family. She enjoys being involved in whatever her people are doing and would much rather be by your side than off on her own.<br/><br/>Kiwi is crate-trained and settles nicely, though she may be a little vocal for the first few minutes before relaxing. She is also making great progress with potty training. She will whine and go to the door when she needs to go outside, though she still has an accident as she continues to learn.<br/><br/>She has done well with other dogs. Kiwi absolutely adores the Toy Poodle in her foster home and has met several dogs at adoption events, happily playing with a few of them. A confident, friendly canine companion could be a wonderful role model and help her continue to build confidence.<br/><br/>Kiwi isn't looking for someone to change who she is—she's looking for someone who will accept her, be patient with her, and celebrate every little milestone. She needs a family that understands that trust takes time and is willing to let her open up at her own pace. In return, you'll gain an incredibly sweet, devoted companion who will reward your patience with unwavering love and loyalty.
