Kiwi is a seven-year-old, 10-pound, white and orange Chihuahua mix with a spirit that's just starting to shine. When she first arrived at the Maricopa County shelter, her fear led to a spot on the euthanasia list due to her defensive behavior. Thankfully, Home Fur Good saw the potential beneath her fear and gave her a second chance. Since joining the rescue, Kiwi has made remarkable strides. Once she feels safe, her gentle personality blossoms. She’s easy to handle, enjoys being carried, and walks well on a leash. Though she remains a bit sensitive to collars and harnesses, she’s gaining more comfort every day, learning that kindness is real. One of the sweetest surprises is Kiwi's playful side. As her confidence grows, so does her joy. Beneath her cautious nature lies a fun-loving companion eager to explore all the happiness life has in store. A family that offers time, understanding, and encouragement will help her continue to thrive. Kiwi embodies the truth that fearful dogs often just need someone to believe in them.
