🌟 Meet the one and only Kiwi! This adorable purebred Old English Sheepdog is a bundle of joy who is turning the big 1 on January 12th. Just imagine her celebrating her special day in a forever home where she’s lavished with love! 🎉 Now, let’s dive into Kiwi’s inspiring story. Rescued after a difficult past involving a leg injury from a breeder, Kiwi has traveled quite a journey. She underwent a complex surgery at UF Small Animal Hospital, followed by months of rehab and the loving attention of her incredible foster. Talk about resilience! Thanks to a dedicated veterinary team and an abundance of TLC, she’s back on her paws and ready to steal hearts! 💖 Kiwi is a high-energy canine with a curious spirit and an intelligence that shines brightly. She’s got aspirations of being the ‘alpha’ in her household, which makes her so much fun to be around! 🐕‍🦺 She’s great with other dogs, boasting strong herding instincts—and yes, her vocal talents mean she loves to howl along with the wind! A true Velcro dog at heart, Kiwi adores being by her human's side 24/7, so it’s ideal for her to go to a home where someone is around more often. With her impressive skills, she can open doors and gates and might just help herself to your snacks if you leave them unattended! 🍕 So, keeping those socks out of reach is a must—she loves to collect them like a treasure! Kiwi would thrive in a home with older kids (teenagers and up), as she’s not quite the fit for little ones. A fenced yard would be a dream come true for her, giving her plenty of space to explore and play! Trust this peach—she’s not just playful and affectionate; she’s also a fantastic car rider, ready for all your adventures. 🚗🌳 Medical Info? She’s all set: spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative! Currently tipping the scales at 52 lbs, she’s still growing—female Old English Sheepdogs typically reach 60-80 lbs. Located in New Port Richey, FL, Kiwi’s adoption fee is $500. She deserves a home that appreciates her lively spirit, intelligence, and the beauty of her Old English Sheepdog nature. So, if you’re ready to embrace the delightful whirlwind that is Kiwi, she just might be your perfect companion! Don’t wait—apply to adopt Kiwi through the Buddy App today! 💕
