About Kiki

Sweet Kiki is an affectionate little lady who thrives on being close to her people. After raising her puppies, she’s ready to be the center of attention. Kiki loves spending time in the backyard with her foster siblings but is happiest when snuggled on the couch, soaking up pets and companionship. She’s a medium-energy dog who enjoys a good walk and will enthusiastically claim her spot as your lapdog. Kiki is house trained, uses her crate well, and walks nicely on leash, though she’s still learning how to ignore distractions like squirrels or other dogs. She can be reactive to other dogs on leash but does great in yard playgroups and at doggie daycare. While she gets along with other dogs, she is much too interested in cats, so a cat-free home is best. Kiki can be nervous around new people, so she does best with patient adopters who let her warm up on her terms. She picks up new routines quickly, especially when treats are involved, and prefers quieter environments where she can settle in and relax. Kiki is looking for someone who values both outdoor fun and indoor coziness. She’ll happily be your TV binge buddy and loyal shadow. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
