Adopt Kiwi

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Kiwi is a loving 3-year-old crossbreed in foster care. She's playful and energetic, enjoying agility equipment and secure fields for exercise. Smart and trainable, she's making great progress with her foster family. Kiwi can be worried by strangers but becomes very affectionate once comfortable. She gets frustrated around other dogs during walks, preferring quiet routes for continued training. Due to her cautious nature with new people, she needs an adult-only home. She loves cuddling on the sofa and shows off her flexibility with daily stretching routines.

Her foster carers say a typical day is: Kiwi normally wakens up around 7:30a.m, ready for breakfast at 8. She loves a bowl of kibble and water. After breakfast she wanders around the garden looking for a nice private corner for business. When back inside, she loves nothing more than to snuggle up beside us and relax for a while. Then she is ready for play and persuading us to go play in the garden. She loves chasing around after a ball and having other toys flung to chase after. This whirlwind of fun makes her feel a bit tired, so its then back inside for a curl up on the couch and a little snooze. In the afternoon its walk time and she loves to go to the woodland walk area where there are lots of interesting new smells. Then its back home for another little snooze again. She is adorable and so loving! She has another feed at 5pm and then it’s time to snuggle up beside us all and watch the TV where Kiwi tends to drift off to sleep. When it gets to bed time she has a final toilet trip and then it’s off to bed to snuggle up on top of the duvet and dream. Home requirements: Kiwi is a fun loving 3 year old crossbreed who is currently doing great with one of our amazing foster families. She likes to get in her daily yoga which she demonstrates every time she gets off the sofa by stretching her back legs out as far as she can. The yoga helps keep her limber for going to her favourite freedom fields where she likes to show off on any agility or climbing equipment at hand! She loves doing zoomies in the garden and playing with her toys. Kiwi is very clever and likes to play puzzle games that involve tasty treats or squeezy cheese. She loves going for walks and she particularly likes walks in quiet woodland areas where she can do lots of sniffing and not meet other dogs. Kiwi is super smart and has been working hard with her training and learning to be calmer near other dogs. Kiwi can be worried by new people but once she gets
