This quirky cutie can’t wait to be your little shadow!
Hi friends! I’m Kiwi — your perfectly imperfect little shadow. I’m a 2.5-year-old, 10-pound Spaniel mix with a quirky spirit, a big heart, and my own way of doing things. You see, I’m more of a “love you from a distance” kind of gal. Think cat… but cuter (if I do say so myself). I love being close, near, and around my person — I just prefer to show my love without touching.
Life hasn’t been the easiest for me. I came from a shelter in San Bernardino after I was hit by a car. I had tire marks on my body when a Good Samaritan found me, and at the time, I couldn’t see anything. I got lucky — I was rushed to a neurologist, and they discovered I likely had a small brain bleed from the trauma, causing my vision loss. It was a long, confusing recovery but little by little my vision came back.
It’s been a journey, and though the world still feels a little scary sometimes, I’m so happy to be here! I’m uncomfortable with touch, but I have my own special ways of showing love. I’ll zoom around the house in the mornings when I see my favorite people, skidding out on the hardwood floor like a goofball.
I’m VERY dog-friendly and love having other pups around. I’d do great with other small dogs in the home — they help me feel confident and happy. I’m also cat-friendly and do well with kids, though I’ll likely keep my distance and do my own thing.
I’m crate trained and love my little safe space. I’m still working on bathroom training, but I do great when you’re diligent about taking me outside. I’m not leash trained because of my touch sensitivities, so I’ll need a secure backyard to roam and sunbathe — that’s my happy place!
I know I’m not the conventional choice — I’m not going to jump into your arms and ride off into the sunset on day one. But if you’re patient, gentle, and willing to meet me where I’m at, I’ll show you my love in my own quirky, special way!
If you have a calm, respectful home, maybe some small dog friends, and a heart that appreciates the magic of small steps forward, I just might be your girl. I’m not perfect, but I’m perfectly Kiwi — and I can’t wait to spend my life with you!
My adoption fee is $300 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/
