Here's what the humans have to say about me:
**Kiwi has arrived and is currently in foster in Olympia, WA. Please contact us via email for an application for approval and to schedule a meet.**
Kiwi and her litter were all drop-offs and we were fortunate to get them before they ended out on the street. She is now 4-5 mos old, and doing great at a whopping 35 pounds! VERY happy and needs a great home. She is not yet house trained (too young) and has been around cats but not to play with them. Here is what the foster says about Kiwi:
She was adopted site unseen in what we call a pre-adoption, most of our dogs and especially our puppies are adopted in this manner. Our rescues offers a five day, money back, return period if for any reason the dog is not working out in your home. Kiwi came back to me in foster after less than 24 hours in her adopted home. They said she was shy and a little timid around the family members however I have not see that since she's been to my house. She is fine around the men in my house as well as my children however I don't have young children/toddlers so I don't have knowledge about that. My best guess is that after three days on a ground transport she was placed in with the chaos of a normal family without given the proper time to decompress and regain some comfort. Since she has been in my home (Monday) she has done fantastic. She is a beautiful little girl, very loving and affectionate. She plays great with the other dogs both bigger and smaller than her and doesn't seem to be an alpha female. She plays well with toys and doesn't seem to have any food/treat aggression. She has been working on her house training since she has been here with the use of a dog door and while we still have an accident here and there she does use the door the go outside also...she is still young and will need to be watched and enforced. She will go into a kennel when coaxed and have a tantrum for the first little while but she does calm down, I will kennel her when I know I will be gone for long hours in the day. She has been sleeping on the end of my bed and wakes up about 5:30-6am to go outside and potty and play around (too early for my liking but she is still a baby). She is not a big barker and the only thing that she managed to destroy with her chewing was my phone charger cord but that always seems to be the go to chew thing for all my fosters. She has been caught with a shoe every once in a while but responds well to command. I have not practiced her on any leash training yet. She does like to jump on on people for attention and love and we have been working on that here, younger children may have a problem if she does that with them. She is only between 4-5 months old and while she's a bit leaner and tall and weighs 35 pounds she is still a puppy and will need all the proper training and commitment just like any other pup.
Adoption Fee: $375...includes all the medical, microchipping, health certificate, and transportation.
