Kiwi

My story

Name: Kiwi Nickname: Pee-wee-Kiwi. Nugg. Kiki Little One. Breed: Papillon mix Weight: 5 lbs. Sex: Female Age: 5 years Before OMD/Medical: Kiwi was picked up as a stray and brought into animal control for her stray hold. Her fur was matted and her eye had ruptured at some point, and because she hadn't received medical care at the time, it became infected and she lost her sight in that eye. Her eye was completely crusted and scabbed over and she was in obvious pain (but still so so sweet). We were able to take her into rescue and have her eye removed, as well as remove a mammary mass which, thankfully, came back as benign. Energy Level: Low. She is happy just relaxing in the house and yard mainly, but can also keep up with her foster sibling for mile-long walks. Descriports: Lap dog. Low maintenance. Adaptable. Easy-going. "The sweetest little dog I've ever met" What we love most: How cuddly she is. When she perches atop your shoulders like a parrot. Her tiny-circle zoomies and/or tip tap dancing when you come home. What she loves most: Snuggling up to anyone that emits heat. Blankets (Kiwi without a blanket is not a happy Kiwi). Being held. Treats. The breeze when going for car rides. What she doesn't love: The cold. Random tidbit: She is an incessant licker at times...people, the couch, etc. Kids: She did well with a 4 year old, and we expect she would be fine with dog-savvy, respectful kiddos Dogs: Sure! She is a co-exister with her foster sibling and the others she has met Cats: Yep. Pays them no mind. Housetrained: Getting there. Since she's not a fan at all of the cold, she has been utilizing potty pads at times (and has some accidents not on the pads too). Crate trained: Yes Kiwi is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative and microchipped. She is available for adoption to residents of CT and surrounding states.
