About Kiki

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Kiki is currently being fostered in Ames, Iowa, as part of the Ace program at ISU where she is learning her basic manners and exploring fun dog sports. She is not at the shelter but is thriving in her foster home and soaking up all kinds of new skills. Think of Kiki as that lovable, energetic little sibling—she’s always seeking a playmate, encouraging you to join in fun activities, or gently nudging you for attention. Her enthusiasm, charm, and unbeatable cuteness ensure she is never overlooked and always has energy to spare. Kiki is a delightful blend of fun and persistence, sure to keep you active and entertained in the best possible way. She does well in dog play groups but can sometimes be a bit too enthusiastic, so any introductions to potential dog siblings should be handled with a meet-and-greet for the best results.
