Kiwi

Kiwi is a lovable, affectionate boy who adores people and is always ready for a fuss. He can be a little excitable when meeting new friends, but his enthusiasm is all part of his charm!

We believe Kiwi may not have experienced life in a home before, so he'll need a patient family who can give him time to settle into his new surroundings and learn what home life is all about. Any time spent alone will need to be built up gradually while he gains confidence. Kiwi could adapt well to most households with the right support and understanding. When it comes to walks, he enjoys getting out and exploring but will need quieter locations, as he can be reactive towards other dogs and wildlife.

Kiwi is a little under-socialised around other dogs and can find fast-moving dogs particularly challenging, so he is currently being muzzle trained to help him continue building positive experiences out and about. He is also quite the foodie and can be persistent when food is around, so some sensible management will help him succeed.

Kiwi is looking for a kind and committed adopter who can help him continue learning about the world, and in return he'll offer plenty of affection, companionship, and happy moments along the way.
