About Kiki

Kiki is around 18 months to 2 years old and has already weathered some tough breaks. She’s blind in one eye due to a past injury—the eye has been properly treated by a vet and doesn't slow her down. Kiki’s playful energy and sweet attitude shine through, but she does have a bit of a bossy streak. She isn't fond of other dogs in her foster home, so she’s likely best as the only dog. Kiki is cautious around men and genuinely frightened by children—she has nipped small kids before, so she shouldn’t go to a home with young children. She does warm up to women, especially if treats and patience are involved. Kiki’s completely vetted, including all the necessary eye care. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
