Kiwi

It’s Krazy Kiwi! She is a female husky / shepherd mix, about 50 pounds and 2 years old. She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and fecal tested. Her adoption fee is $400. Kiwi, affectionately nicknamed Krazy Kiwi, has more energy and goofiness than any other dog at our rescue! Plus, all the DRAMA (just like her breed entails)! Not surprisingly, any dog as active and driven as a husky or shepherd requires a breed-savvy owner to live a truly fulfilling life… Now imagine when those breeds are brought together to create one puppy. As if that wouldn’t be a lot to handle, picture those two breeds combined into one special puppy that was never properly set up for success in the first place… It only makes sense that you would end up with a Krazy Kiwi! So, naturally, at less than six months old, our silly girl found herself on the euthanasia list at Maricopa County for behavior issues. Fortunately, a rescue stepped in to save her life, however, she spent the next year bouncing around between various foster homes and adoptive homes, until she was ultimately transferred to our rescue in December. With us, Kiwi has definitely become a better version of her kooky self, especially since graduating from a Board+Train program not too long ago! BUT a lazy owner who fails to work with her on a daily basis will cause Kiwi’s behavior to regress rapidly. In other words, Kiwi will only continue to become a better dog if she has an active owner committed to keeping up with her training and maintaining boundaries. Furthermore, a house with a pool would be wonderful for this water-loving girl, and a doggie playmate or two would surely make her world go round!
