🥝🐾 Say hello to Kiwi, a petite little charmer who proves that the best things really can come in small packages! 🥝❤️ Kiwi is an adorable 10-month-old small Staffie mix weighing just 22 pounds. She may fill out a little as she matures, but she will likely not get much bigger.
🥝 A Little Backstory
Kiwi’s story started on a dusty road on the Navajo Reservation, where she was found all alone and in heartbreaking condition. Judging by how thin she was, it appeared that she had been dumped and left to fend for herself for quite some time. She was dreadfully thin, and the ticks covering her ears and feet were so severely engorged that it was clear she had been struggling for a while.
But here’s the part about Kiwi’s story that really gets us. ❤️
From the very first minute she was picked up, this little girl was nothing but loving. There was no hesitation, no shyness and no reticence. Instead, Kiwi seemed to look at the people who stopped for her and say:“Thank you for stopping to save me. I promise I’m going to make you very glad you did.” 🥹💕
Despite whatever she experienced before being rescued, Kiwi has remained affectionate, trusting and eager to be loved. She seems determined to make the most of her second chance—and she has absolutely no interest in dwelling on the past.
Kiwi is absolutely wonderful with people. She loves humans of all shapes and sizes and thinks strangers are simply friends she hasn’t met yet. She greets everyone happily and is always ready to be included in whatever is going on. Just being in your presence is her life's greatest joy.
She is just as delightful with other dogs. Kiwi gets along fabulously with the large adult dogs in her foster home AND the two younger puppies, proving she can happily navigate a household full of canine personalities. She is also very submissive by nature and will often roll onto her back when meeting another dog, essentially saying, “Hi! I come in peace!” 😂
Kiwi is leash trained, crate trained and house trained in her current routine. She is smart, eager to please and very responsive to praise and encouragement.
Kiwi is sweet, social, affectionate, dog-friendly and wonderfully adaptable. S
