Kiwi's Story
Kiwi (aka Benny) is a 5-month-old Heeler/Chiweenie mix who came to us on our most recent transport from Texas — and this little guy just keeps getting better and better he was dumped alongside his siblings and mom at a common dumping area <br/><br/>His foster shares that Benny has really come out of his shell over the last week and is truly showing what an amazing pup he is! He's proven to be quite the little “guard dog” — extremely attentive and gentle with the young girls in the home (ages 2 & 4). He gets along wonderfully with the resident dogs and cats, making him an easy addition to a multi-pet household.<br/><br/>Benny is incredibly well-behaved for such a young puppy. He's very eager to please, extremely smart, and listens so well. He's mostly potty trained and does great when you stay consistent with letting him outside. He has never had an accident in his kennel and sleeps there most nights without any issues. He's still learning cues to go outside (totally expected since this is his first real home), but he's catching on quickly!<br/><br/>He's learning to walk on a leash and is already doing impressively well. He loves to play with other dogs, but he's just as happy relaxing nearby. Benny doesn't bark much — mostly just during playtime or when watching cars go by.<br/><br/>And when the day winds down? He's all about the snuggles. Lap, couch, bed — he's happy wherever his people are.<br/><br/>His foster says his temperament is perfect — loving, attentive, playful, and calm when it counts. We have no doubt he's going to grow into an incredibly well-mannered, loyal companion and a wonderful member of any family lucky enough to adopt him.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a smart, affectionate puppy who already has such a solid foundation, Kiwi (Benny) might just be your perfect match
