Meet Kiwi! 🌟 This delightful 10-month-old Border Collie/Labrador mix is ready to leap into the new year with you by her side! Weighing in at a sprightly 30 pounds, Kiwi boasts a unique look and an even bigger heart. Imagine a partial mohawk on the back of her head that dances down her back in an adorable zigzag! Isn’t that something? ✨ Now, Kiwi’s had quite the journey, coming from a challenging start as one of 60 dogs in a hoarding situation. 😢 While she’s been working hard to gain some confidence, unexpected noises can still give her a little scare. That’s why she’s on the lookout for a strong, patient, and laid-back family—preferably with a fenced yard—who understands that building trust takes time. If you can offer her that loving foundation, she is eager to learn and grow! 💪🏽 Kiwi is housebroken and making strides in crate and leash training, but she’s also a negotiator. 🎓 Imagine her charming you while she figures out the “sit” command—it’s quite a sight! Now, she does get along well with other dogs, but let’s just say, snacks are SERIOUS BUSINESS! 🎉 Kiwi would prefer to be fed separately, as food is a sacred affair in her world. When it comes to playtime, Kiwi's got energy! 🏃‍♀️ But let it be known, she also has a sweet side—a real cuddle bug who just loves to snuggle right in your lap. 🥰 Once Kiwi trusts you, she’s all in—heart, paws, and her incredible personality! So, this New Year, Kiwi is not just searching for a home; she’s seeking her forever family—those who will embrace her quirks, see her potential, and help her blossom into the confident, happy dog she knows she can be! 🏡❤️ Now, remember, her adoption fee is $150, which includes her spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness exam, heartworm test, and microchip!
